Simple Button Clicking in Graphical Script

[creamers]

I used Koda to make the gui build 252

 

I am having an absolute time trying to get my buttons to work. 

 

The first sample that does work is an ip script I found online 

 

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=x86 Public Ip Finder.exe
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <INet.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
 
$yourip = _GetIP()
$localip = @IPAddress1
GUICreate("Ip Finder", 369, 126, 192, 124)
$button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Get Public Ip", 208, 72, 75, 25)
$button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Get Local Ip", 208, 30, 75, 25)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("The Ip Will Go here", 32, 72, 137, 21)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Your Ip", 32, 48, 38, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
 
While 1
$msg=GUIGetMsg()
if $msg=-3 Then Exit
if $msg=$button1 then button1()
if $msg=$button2 then button2()
WEnd
 
func button1()
GUICtrlSetData($Input1,$yourip)
EndFunc
 
func button2()
GUICtrlSetData($Input1,$localip)
EndFunc

the second sample of code is going to be an automated backup solution. Essentialy I need the buttons to execute a script in take command (third party cmd replacement). I can work out the working directories latter. I also will need the drive letter to be able to have input and set that as a variable that windows cmd will be able to access later on even it if needed to be a stored to a log file per say. Another thing I am trying to do in the script is have "Log File" run a program run("tail.exe -f log.txt", "/includes"). I tried bring the code from the first sample and I could not get the code to work in the second script.

Thank you for your time. Edited August 11, 2013 by creamers

Use

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("./images/harddisk.jpg", 0, 0, 612, 468)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

to enable buttons on GUI.

If tail.exe is from here '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> then you can use the -s <file name> parameter to write the output to a file and read it afterwards to your program or you can use run() function using $STDOUT_CHILD (see in help file) to catch the output from cmd.

That worked! thank you, I am just using my way for now for some reason that version of tail halts the process while tailwin32 just reads the log file and isnt interupting.

2 questions would there be a way to do almost an iframe and send it over to another form to display tail?

Also what would be the correct way of extracting input from the user data fields and creating a folder based on the user data. I want to create a folder on uncshare$Customer %date% $Technican.

Thank you very much.
