kkelley Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I currently am developing a little GUI to run some software automation. In this GUI a user will add a username into a GUICtrlCreateInput. I always want this to be blank to start with but I want it to remember the usernames that have been used previously. I would like to click on a drop down arrow and have the past three or so viewable. Is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yes, look at IniWrite and IniRead in the help file. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

kkelley Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thanks all for your posts to this question. I am trying to use the IniWrite and IniRead functions, but I am a little confused on how I could get them to work with my GUI. Does anyone have an example of this? my attempts at searching the forums have been uneventful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2014 Here is a quick and dirty, to give you a general idea. The first time, as there is nothing in the ini, you'll get a blank input. Thereafter, you'll get whatever was typed into the input on the previous run. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $ini = @DesktopDir & "\My.ini" GUICreate("Test", 300, 200) $lbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please enter a name", 100, 10, 100, 30) $name = GUICtrlCreateInput(IniRead($ini, "Name", "Name1", ""), 10, 45, 280, 40) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE IniWrite($ini, "Name", "Name1", GUICtrlRead($name)) ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd GUIDelete() "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
