Working with Macros and Checkboxes

I'm trying to make it where if I check a checkbox, Macro 1 will run, if I turn that macro off and check another box...the same hotkey will run a different macro.

However, I can get the first to work, but when I uncheck the first box and check the second box... it does nothing. But if I check the second box first...it works and when I switch to the first switch, it does nothing.

Also After activating a checkbox, the Close and the red X on the top right of the window won't close the program. It will work if I don't select a checkbox, but otherwise...no go. Have to force close from SciTE

Any help will be great.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Create a GUI with various controls.
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Testing", 300, 160)

    ; Create a checkbox control.
    Local $idCheckbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Hold Down Right Mouse", 10, 10, 125, 25)
    Local $idCheckbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Hold Down Left Mouse", 10, 30, 125, 25)

    Local $idClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 130, 85, 25)

    ; Display the GUI.
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idClose
               ExitLoop

            Case $idCheckbox1
               If GUICtrlRead($idCheckbox2) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
                  GUICtrlSetState($idCheckbox2, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
               EndIf
               While 1
               If _IsChecked($idCheckbox1) Then
                     If _IsPressed("5A") Then
                        MouseDown("Right")
                        Sleep(500)
                        MouseUp("Right")
                     Else
                     EndIf

You have got no way to quit the while loops ...

So, can you give me a solution? I'm still a noob to this and learning. How do I fix the problem? I don't want to close the program by unchecking the box...only want to activate a macro with checkboxes and switch between them.

I'm staying on this page and refreashing as I'm looking for help as soon as possible. OCD has kicked in on this so it's bugging the heck out of me.

Ok

First, use radio buttons to get rid of the check/uncheck problem

2nd, if you need a hotkey then use Hotkeyset

3rd, the helpfile is your best friend  :)

Sample script :

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> 

HotKeySet ( "z" , "_Run")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Testing", 300, 160)
$idCheckbox1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Right Mouse", 10, 10, 125, 25)
$idCheckbox2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Left Mouse", 10, 30, 125, 25)
$idClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 130, 85, 25)
GUISetState()
 
While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idClose
               ExitLoop
         EndSwitch
WEnd
 

Func _Run()
    If _IsChecked($idCheckbox1) Then Msgbox(0,"", "text 1")
    If _IsChecked($idCheckbox2) Then Msgbox(0,"", "text 2")
EndFunc

Func _IsChecked($idControlID)
    Return BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idControlID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

Edit

My bad, I forgot : If you bump too fast , this will be considered as flood and your topic will be locked   :)

Ok, I used your script...but however, it doesn't use macros.

Also, I was using "IF _IsPressed("5A") Then" b/c I want it where it repeats the macro until I release the key.

Not only does this do what it did before, I still can't close the program with the X or Close button. Load my script and run it.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

HotKeySet ( "z" , "_Run")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Testing", 300, 160)
$idCheckbox1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Right Mouse", 10, 10, 125, 25)
$idCheckbox2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Left Mouse", 10, 30, 125, 25)
$idClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 130, 85, 25)
GUISetState()

While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idClose
               ExitLoop
         EndSwitch
WEnd


Func _Run()
    If _IsChecked($idCheckbox1) Then
       While 1
          If _IsPressed("5A") Then
          MouseDown("Right")
          Sleep(500)
          MouseUp("Right")
       WEnd
       EndIf

     If _IsChecked($idCheckbox2) Then
       While 1
          If _IsPressed("5A") Then
          MouseDown("Left")
          Sleep(500)
          MouseUp("Left")
       WEnd
       EndIf
EndFunc

Func _IsChecked($idControlID)
    Return BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idControlID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

Indeed using both HotkeySet and _IsPressed for the same key is not a good idea

And you cannot exit the program because there is no condition in the While loops allowing to quit them

Try this

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> 
#include <Misc.au3> 

$hGUI = GUICreate("Testing", 300, 160)
$idCheckbox1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Right Mouse", 10, 10, 125, 25)
$idCheckbox2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Hold Down Left Mouse", 10, 30, 125, 25)
$idClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 130, 85, 25)
GUISetState()
 
While 1
 _Run()
  Switch GUIGetMsg()
     Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idClose
           ExitLoop
  EndSwitch
WEnd
 

Func _Run()
   If _IsPressed("5A") Then
       If _IsChecked($idCheckbox1) Then
          Do
             MouseDown("Right")
             Sleep(500)
             MouseUp("Right")
             Sleep(500)
          Until not _IsPressed("5A")
      EndIf
      If _IsChecked($idCheckbox2) Then 
          Do
             MouseDown("Left")
             Sleep(500)
             MouseUp("Left")
             Sleep(500)
          Until not _IsPressed("5A")
      EndIf
  EndIf
EndFunc

Func _IsChecked($idControlID)
    Return BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idControlID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

BTW these macros are for which kind of work ?

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope. :)
