Good afternoon

I am sure that this question has been asked and answered however I have been searching for the past several hours and have yet to come across the answer that I need.

Here is the code I created

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Main()

Func Main()

GUICreate("Ping", 200, 100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

Local $Hostname1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 15, 125)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xffffff)
Local $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Host 1: ", 10, 18, 50)
local $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ping", 80, 65, 100)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $Button_1
Ping(GUICtrlRead($Hostname1), 250)

local $var = Ping(GUICtrlRead($Hostname1), 250)

If $var Then
MsgBox(0, "Ping", "Pinging... " & " roundtrip was " & $var & " ms")
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Hostname1, 0x00ff00)
GUICtrlSetColor ($Hostname1, 0x000000)
Else
MsgBox(0, "Error sending message", "Error code:" & @error)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Hostname1, 0)
GUICtrlSetColor ($Hostname1, 0xffffff)

EndIf


EndSwitch

WEnd

EndFunc

What I was hoping to do is be able return the $var and not only change the color of the background of the Input box but also (in the input box) ping time.

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by...

What I was hoping to do is be able return the $var and not only change the color of the background of the Input box but also (in the input box) ping time.

What are you trying to achieve that you haven't been able to? Because your code changes the back ground color of the input box to either black or green depending upon the return from the ping.

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.

grimmlock,

This may be what you are looking for.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Main()

Func Main()

    GUICreate("Ping", 200, 100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    Local $Hostname1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 15, 125)

    Local $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Host 1: ", 10, 18, 50)
    Local $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ping", 80, 65, 100)

grimmlock,

Changed the code slightly. I do not understand why ping returns a 0 the first time you click the button with a blank input box. Subsequent clicks on a blank input box generate an error, as expected.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Main()

Func Main()

    GUICreate("Ping", 200, 100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    Local $Hostname1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 60, 15, 125)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xffffff)
    Local $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Host 1: ", 10, 18, 50)
    Local $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ping", 80, 65, 100)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $Button_1

                Local $var = Ping(GUICtrlRead($Hostname1), 250)
                local $saveerr = @error

                If $var > 0 Then
                    ;MsgBox(0, "Ping", "Pinging... " & " roundtrip was " & $var & " ms")
                    guictrlsetdata($Hostname1,'Round Trip = ' & $var & ' ms')
                    GUICtrlSetBkColor($Hostname1, 0x00ff00)
                    GUICtrlSetColor($Hostname1, 0x000000)
                Else
                    GUICtrlSetData($Hostname1,"Send error = " & $saveerr)
                    GUICtrlSetBkColor($Hostname1, 0)
                    GUICtrlSetColor($Hostname1, 0xffffff)

                EndIf


        EndSwitch

    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>Main

edit: additional info - If I add a space in the inputbox definition it works as expected.

edit2: NVM - ran ping from a cmd console with host = "". It looks like it defaults to whatever host it is running on.

It doesn't. I entered google.com and it worked first time. Edited by guinness
