For..Next loop with GUICtrlSetState

[jack71]

So I have a bunch of  GUICtrlSetOnEvents.  On my GUI I have an image that I use as background and for image mapping.  I have 24 labels that I place over the button of the background image.  I want to disable all 24 buttons after one is pressed so no other buttons can be pressed.

I'm trying something like this:

 

Global $imagemap[24] = [ "$button1", "$button2", "button3"......."$button24"]

Func  On_Button1()

 

For $i = 0 to UBound($imagemap) - 1

GUICtrlSetState($imagemap[$i], $GUI_DISABLE)

Next

 

;Do some stuff

 

EndFunc

 

This however doesn't work.  When I do a simple msgbox test in the For..Next loop it returns the correct variables, like $button1 etc but for some reason they're not being disabled.  If I manually put:

GUICtrlSetState($button1, $GUI_DISABLE) it works.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Take the quotes off the variable names, you're storing strings in the array and not the value the variable holds.

But the variables are holding Labels ie:

$button1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 296, 152, 51, 49)

 GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

 GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Button1")

 

Which makes the Array value empty or invalid.  Nor does it work for me

Global $imagemap[24] = [ "$button1", "$button2", "$button3"......."$button24"]

Replace with : Global $imagemap[24] = [ $button1, $button2, $button3.......$button24]

Because "$button1" is string, not variance

(my english is not well)

Did you do what I suggested to you to do, or are you going to argue about it? 

You are NOT storing the handles you are storing the string "$button1", "$button2" and not the contents of those variables. Your variables named $button1 etc. are holding the handles (technically control IDs but why quibble) but you are not using those variables in the snippet you posted in the first post.

Simmmah down nah!

No I'm not arguing with you and yes I stated:

With or without quotes my labels still function after the For Next loop that is supposed to disable them.

Post your script or a reproducer script that demonstrates the issue, as it stands right now all I have is what you've posted and that's not enough to see what you're doing wrong.
