Koen Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 All, I'm new at this forum ans also to AutoIt, so don't shoot me when i'm asking something that's evident. I'm looking for the correct way to build a variabele name. i have a gui with 22 buttons. Every button has i'ts one settings. depending on the input from an ini file, i need to set the focus on that button. This is my code ini file ==> [buttonId] button=15 code ==> $ButtonId = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "ButtonId", "Button") $button14=GuiCtrlCreateButton("test 14",130,410,100,50) $button15=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Test 15",240,410,100,50) $button16=GuiCtrlCreateButton("Test 16",350,410,100,50) GUICtrlSetState($button & ButtonId, $GUI_FOCUS) but the last line doesn't work :-( kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 GUICtrlSetState($button & ButtonId, $GUI_FOCUS) Where does $button come from, and ButtonId needs to be prefixed with $ AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

cageman Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Probably its better to use an array. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koen Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 the word $button is the start of my varable and indeed it needs to be $buttonIdwhat i want to accomplished is that i get "GUICtrlSetState($button15, $GUI_FOCUS)" this. but the 15 is comming from the $buttonid variable.

BrewManNH Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As mentioned by Cageman, you'd be better off using an array for all of your button variables instead of independent variable names. 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.

DW1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Possible? Yes. Practical? No. $ButtonID = 15 $Button15 = 'It worked!' MsgBox(0, "$Button" & $ButtonID, Execute("$Button" & $ButtonID)) AutoIt3 Online Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DicatoroftheUSA Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You can use GUICtrlSetState(eval("button" & ButtonId), $GUI_FOCUS) Statism is violence, Taxation is theft. Autoit Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You can use GUICtrlSetState(eval("button" & ButtonId), $GUI_FOCUS) Yep Eval can work too for this, but you still need the "$" for ButtonID: eval("button" & $ButtonID) That being said, using an array would be better than either Execute() or Eval() by a long shot, and will makes things less complicated.

rudi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi. This might give you a start: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <array.au3> $ButtonCount=15 dim $aButtons[$ButtonCount+1][3]=[[$ButtonCount,"0=CtrlID,1=Buttonstate","2=ButtonText"]] $h=30+$ButtonCount*30 $w=200 GUICreate("MyGui",$w,$h) $aButtons[1][0]=GUICtrlCreateButton("Button #1",10,10,$w-20,25) opt("guicoordmode",2) ; cell relative $disabled=True for $i=2 to $ButtonCount $aButtons[$i][2]="Button #" & $i $aButtons[$i][0]=GUICtrlCreateButton($aButtons[$i][2],-1,5) ; -1, 1 = next line if $disabled Then GUICtrlSetState($aButtons[$i][0],$GUI_DISABLE) $aButtons[$i][1]=$GUI_DISABLE $disabled=False Else $disabled=True $aButtons[$i][1]=$GUI_ENABLE EndIf Next GUISetState() _ArrayDisplay($aButtons) Regards, Rudi.
