GUI beginner attempt, cash register

FireFox · August 31, 2013

I will google and find sites

On the forum, use the forum search feature.

No I'm not evil, we don't code for you otherwise you will never know how to learn by yourself and find the answers you're looking for.

Futhermore, you are lucky to have a VERY helpful helpfile.

Br, FireFox.

I was joking.

But this is f***** ridiculus what a difference is to make a script with 2 GUI-s and 3 GUI-s.

I'm so mad...

; IMPORTANT: Has 7 GUI-s:
; 1. GUI 1 is just to start
; 2. GUI 2 is the main window where products should be chosen
; 3. GUI 3 is where all the non-alcoholic drinks are
; 4. GUI 4 is where all alcoholic drinks are
; 5. GUI 5 IS A GUI WITH VARIABLE INPUT, for quantity, and price
; 6. GUI 6 is where a new product should be entered
; 7. GUI 7 is where a person can see the storehouse wares (to know for example, which items to order)

I think there is no bread for me here, for now I will continue to pay the programmer 300 EUR per year for my program.

I think I will uninstall AutoIt and try something easier to learn to code, Visual Basic or PHP, and then return when I'm better at programming.

I joke often, but not this time. I never blame anyone else. I say openly I'm too retarded for this, whether atm or chronically.

May I ask why you think it's a joke?

:-)

The syntax of the Visual Basic/PHP is harder to understand for a beginner than autoit, but try you will see.

hm, whoever I don't see what you will do with PHP as you are using a GUI here.

Yes, my friend who does websites etc, told me that php is "all in the browser", but I thought if I could scroll the page, I could practically put endless number or windows, tables, inputs, labels, buttons...

And replace the GUI with a giant offline webpage.

But no idea, it's too complicated anyway.

I underestimated programming quite alot.

I rock at maths and physics, but this is much more, and I become an emo kid when something trivial is blocking me.

But now I have an idea, which could be 10 times easier to make for a person like myself.

I could make a GUI with scrollbars that could have size, let's say: 1800 pixels horizontal and 10 000 pixels vertical, to avoid loops which are in looping loops, and all inside a loop.

The warehouse, inputs, etc, etc, etc could be all in 1 GUI.

Would that be too demanding for processors nowadays? With colors, fonts...

I found this yesterday, but as I said, for 3 GUI-s, complete different story than 2.

I missunderstood then.

Btw, is it ok and polite to talk about other programs and programming languages, because this is an official AutoIt forum?

I ask because I started it by asking something, but don't know if it's ok...

So, can you tell me, what's actually wrong with this scipt I made?

Is it one or more mistakes?

I did every step for 3 times, and the previous script I made the exact same way, worked !

How???

Btw, I deleted everything half an hour ago, because I was mad like 100 devils.

I must install the program again, and write it all over again.

Great...

Btw, do you sometimes explode totally because of programming?

Look the difference between my example and the latest script you posted.

Hint: GUIGetMsg() <> GUIGetMsg(1), and of course what's following.

I can't actually start it...

Error: can't open include file <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

And $MB_SYSTEMMODAL not decleared as variable...

P.S. I will write that script again, and put it later. If possible, tell me which exact line has a mistake.

Ty, laterzzz

Where is the mistake? It's the whole while. You're not using the GUIGetMsg function correctly.

What beta? Link please. I got newest autoit..........

P.S. Found but.... Note: The beta can be unstable – always check the forums. oO

Ok, got it working. Should I always write code in beta?

And your both GUI-s open at once on start... I need to open 2. and 3. if certain buttons are pressed

Manage when you need to show your GUIs with the GUISetState function
Br, FireFox.

Ok, I see I will have to learn what arrays are, and how they work.

What's the minimum number of GUI-s that would require GUISetState with array?

Edano did on the first page a script with 2 GUI-s, but no arrays.

Means 3 require an array?
