pcjunki Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 i'm trying to make a simple gui to do a xcopy command. i know there are lots of examples out there, but i want to learn how to do this. my simple gui has 2 input, orginal destination and final destination. when i click the xcopy button, the xcopy switches will already be "programmed" in the button. i'm just having a hard time passing the 2 inputs and the button to execute i understand a little about the variables, just don't know how to piece them together here is what i have so far #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include < GuiButton.au3> #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("xcopy gui", 523, 312, 193, 125) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Source", 16, 24, 38, 17) $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 48, 465, 21) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Destination", 16, 104, 57, 17) $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 128, 465, 21) $xcopy = GUICtrlCreateButton("xcopy", 16, 184, 89, 57, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func xcopy($xcopy) Run(@ComSpec & " /c xcopy /e /v /f /h /k /o /i ") EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted February 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Hi, pcjunki. You are nearly there. The only thing I would change is your While statement. Something like this: No need to pass the $xcopy variable when calling the xcopy function While 1 Local $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $xcopy xcopy() EndSelect WEnd For the xcopy function itself, I would do something like this: Func xcopy() ShellExecuteWait("xcopy.exe", GUICtrlRead($input1) & ' ' & GUICtrlRead($input2) & ' /e /v /f /h /k /o /i') EndFunc Edited February 19, 2013 by JLogan3o13 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

pcjunki Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 i made the change, now the gui closes, and nothing copies here's what i have #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include < GuiButton.au3> #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("xcopy gui", 523, 312, 193, 125) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Source", 16, 24, 38, 17) $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 48, 465, 21) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Destination", 16, 104, 57, 17) $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 128, 465, 21) $xcopy = GUICtrlCreateButton("xcopy", 16, 184, 89, 57, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 Local $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $xcopy xcopy() EndSelect WEnd Func xcopy($xcopy) Run(@ComSpec & " /c xcopy /e /v /f /h /k /o /i ") EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted February 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2013 I made an edit to show how I would do the xcopy function. It is working for me.

pcjunki Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 i just did some testing, and i don't think the xcopy switches are caring over no permissions were set on files i xcopied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcjunki Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 i'm still having issues with this line Func xcopy() ShellExecuteWait("xcopy.exe", GUICtrlRead($input1) & ' ' & GUICtrlRead($input2) & ' /e /v /f /h /k /o /i') EndFunc the /e /v /f /h /k /o /i is not being passed off to the xcopy command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcjunki Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) i've added a local varialbe, thinking it might help with spaces and quotes, but still no luck the variable is in the xcopy function called $Var1 #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include < GuiButton.au3> #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("xcopy gui", 523, 312, 193, 125) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Source", 16, 24, 38, 17) $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 48, 465, 21) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Destination", 16, 104, 57, 17) $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 128, 465, 21) $xcopy = GUICtrlCreateButton("xcopy", 16, 184, 89, 57, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 Local $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $xcopy xcopy() EndSelect WEnd Func xcopy() Global $Var1 = '/e /v /f /h /k /o /i' ShellExecuteWait ("xcopy.exe", GUICtrlRead($input1) & ' ' & GUICtrlRead($input2) & ' ' & $Var1) EndFunc Edited February 20, 2013 by pcjunki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It works for me if you don't use the /O option, that option is causing an access denied error message for me, and the copy never occurs. 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.

BrewManNH Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Have you tried RoboCopy instead of xcopy?
