[SOLVED]Open inputbox once?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I want to make it so an inputbox popup but just the first time it opens.

this is because i would let it save as a variable in a .ini file and load when i start it a second time.

i was thinking about a if settings.ini exists then return else inputbox ...

do you think that will work?

It sure will and there are a couple of ways you could go about using the native functions.

  • Use RegRead and RegWrite to store the returned variable in the registry. Alternatively you could just store a "hasShownInput" or whatever, with a boolean value.
  • Use IniRead and IniWrite to do the same thing as above but in an INI file.
To help not frighten you, the script you're looking to write is just a little bit more than an if..then...else... condition :)

just don't know how to see if a file exists or not :')

i tried :

if "settings.ini" Then
return
Else
$PassWord = InputBox ("Enter password...", "Please set password to unlock your screens...", "", "*")
EndIf

That won't work as it's checking if a string value is a boolean. To check if the file exists, then you can use FileExists. Edited by James

yeah i would use iniread and iniwrite but first i want to figure out how to show the inputbox just once but ill go check the forums in order to do that:)

and i am not frighten to do more:P just thought it would be quite easy to do:P

It is with a little effort.

If Not FileExists("myfile.ini") Then
    InputBox("Hey", "Enter your name please son.")
Else
    $hINI = FileOpen("myfile.ini", 2) ; This will create the file
    FileClose($hINI)
EndIf

InputBox("Hey", "Enter your name please son.")
Else
$hINI = FileOpen("myfile.ini", 2) ; This will create the file
FileClose($hINI)
EndIf

but that will make a inputbox when the file does exist? i want to to show when it doesn't exist because when i start up the first time i want to enter a password which get saves in a .ini and the other times i run it (When .ini file exists) it will load the password and so don't need the inputbox anymore.

so it will need to be something like

if fileexists ("settings.ini") then
guimain()
else
$Var = inputbox (stuff here)
and then the iniwrite to save it into an ini file
endif

what i got so far is

if FileExists("settings.ini") Then
guimain()
Else
$PassWord = InputBox ("Enter password...", "Please set password to unlock your screens...", "", "*")
EndIf

just doesn't show up with anything just run the gui:(

solved :D

code was

if FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\" & "settings.ini") Then
$PassWord = IniRead (@scriptdir & "\" & "settings.ini", "instellingen", "Password", "error")
Else
$PassWord = InputBox ("Enter password...", "Please set password to unlock your screens...", "", "*")
IniWrite (@scriptdir & "\" & "settings.ini", "instellingen", "Password", $PassWord)
EndIf

So reverse the conditions?

If Not FileExists("myfile.ini") Then
    $sPass = InputBox("Hey", "Enter your password.", "", "*")
    If $sPass == "" Then
        MsgBox(0, "Um", "Please give me a password!")
    Else
        IniWrite("myfile.ini", "settings", "name", $sPass)
        MsgBox(0, "So.", "We're cool!") ; Replace with guimain() or whatever.
    EndIf
Else
    MsgBox(0, "So.", "We're cool!") ; Replace with guimain() or whatever.
EndIf

if FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\" & "settings.ini") Then
$PassWord = IniRead (@scriptdir & "\" & "settings.ini", "instellingen", "Password", "error")
Else
$PassWord = InputBox ("Enter password...", "Please set password to unlock your screens...", "", "*")
IniWrite (@scriptdir & "\" & "settings.ini", "instellingen", "Password", $PassWord)
EndIf

Ah good. Well done :) Edited by James
