Moving on from one If to another if rule is true..?

[RhysSkachillKelly]

Hi all,

First of all- im a total beginner at this and have been using many tutorials to weave my way through learning this so be kind

I've been working on a script to streamline my teams daily checks which launch in web browsers. My idea is to give my team the option to choose which browser the checks launch in then it will load each of the checks in that specific browser. Because chrome in particular doesn't give me any independent information on specific areas in the browser my script relies on mouse click functions so I added a little checker for ensuring the screen resolution the script launches in is correct.

My problem is if the resolution is complete I would like the script to move on to the next msgbox with the choice of browser options but I'm stuck on how to direct the script on to this line... Any ideas?? Cheers!

;Firstly launches message box requesting if you actually want to launch the daily checks.
#include 
$var = MsgBox(4, "Daily Checks Launch", "Do you want to launch Daily Checks?")
WinWait("", "", 120)
;If No will exit
If $var = 7 Then Exit


;Check whether screen resolution is correct for browser to launch

$var_5 = @DesktopHeight
$var_6 = @DesktopWidth
$var_7 = @DesktopDepth
$var_8 = @DesktopRefresh
 
;THIS IS THE LINE I'M STUCK ON!

If $var_5 = 768 And $var_6 = 1366 And $var_7 = 32 And $var_8 = 60 Then


ElseIf $var_5 = Not 768 Or $var_6 = Not 1366 Or $var_7 = 32 Or $var_8 = Not 60 Then
$var_9 = MsgBox(16, "Display resolution parser", "You're screen resolution isn't correct for this script. This must be 1366 x 768 60hz Please modify and restart script")
If $var_9 = 1 Then Exit

EndIf

;Will ask which browser
If $var = 6 Then
_MsgBox_SetButtonText(6, "Firefox", "IExplorer", "Chrome")
$var_1 = _MsgBox(6, "Which Browser?", "Please select your preferred browser?")

EndIf


If $var_1 = 2 Then
Run("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]")
WinWait("", "", 60)

Hi, RhysSkachillKelly, welcome to the forum. I would suggest looking at the Func portion of the helpfile. If you create a function, you could do something like this:

$var = MsgBox(3, "", "Would you like to launch this in Chrome? If not, it will automatically launch in IE.")
If $var = 6 Then
     _Chrome() ; call your function to launch Chrome
Else
     _IE() ; call your function to launch IE
EndIf

Func _Chrome()
MsgBox(0, "", "Your Code to launch Chrome.")
EndFunc

Func _IE()
MsgBox(0, "", "Your Code to launch Internet Explorer.")
EndFunc

Once you get a little more comfortable, you can even look into some of the GUI functions that would let you do a drop-down menu rather than a Msgbox.

Using Constants would make the code look like this >>

#include <Constants.au3>

Local $iReturn = MsgBox($MB_YESNOCANCEL, "", "Would you like to launch this in Chrome? If not, it will automatically launch in IE.")
If $iReturn = $IDYES Then
    _Chrome() ; call your function to launch Chrome
Else
    _IE() ; call your function to launch IE
EndIf

Func _Chrome()
    MsgBox($MB_OK, "", "Your Code to launch Chrome.")
EndFunc   ;==>_Chrome

Func _IE()
    MsgBox($MB_OK, "", "Your Code to launch Internet Explorer.")
EndFunc   ;==>_IE

These will be documented in the foreseeable future. As for now look at Constants.au3.

As to why it wasn't done before, I can't tell you that. Not because it's a secret, I just don't know.

Thanks for your help JLogan3o13 and guinness! I think having a go at a GUI might be my best option but I'll learn a bit more about the functions first. I may have more questions once I've tested your codes out

You're very welcome.
