pcjunki 3 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) i have a gui with about 11 tabs, and on each tab there is about 30-40 buttons that do functions each button is coded as...$TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("floor1") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("pc1", 38, 61, 131, 25) i want to create at the top right of the gui a search box, kinda like in windows7 so you can type in "pc1" and it will go to the correct tab, and automatically highlight/select the button on the gui is this even possible? edit if i have to redo the code as following to make it easier, i can $pc1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("pc1", 38, 61, 131, 25) Edited December 11, 2012 by pcjunki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,121 Posted December 11, 2012 You'd probably be better off with a combobox with all the possible controls you want to access. This way there's no mistyping of the text. Using a combobox also allows you to link the contents with a controlID so you can find it easier. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

pcjunki 3 Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) i think you are right in doing the combo box, and it will be easier in the future to maintain code, so i've started all over. this is what i have now, but still not working....i'm at a stump here, and probally so easy #include <GUIConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("WOL", 695, 189, 194, 126) $Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(8, 16, 673, 137) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH+$GUI_DOCKHEIGHT) $TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("floor1") $combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 56, 193, 25) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "PC1|PC2") $button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("wake up", 210, 56, 73, 57, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 $pc = GUICtrlRead ($combo1) Call ($pc) Func PC1($pc) ;~ WOL COMMAND WILL PROGRAM IN LATER EndFunc EndSwitch WEnd i think it's messing up on the Case $Button1 $pc = GUICtrlRead ($combo1) Call ($pc) Edited December 11, 2012 by pcjunki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,121 Posted December 11, 2012 You'd probably want to change it to this: While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $button1 $pc = GUICtrlRead($combo1) PC1($pc) ; pass the computer name to the function instead of making a function for each computer. EndSwitch WEnd Func PC1($pc) ;~ WOL COMMAND WILL PROGRAM IN LATER EndFunc ;==>PC1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

BrewManNH 1,121 Posted December 11, 2012 Function names can't start with numbers, you'd have to use an underscore or a letter first.
