Group/Radio button question

[Jewtus]

I have a group

$ModeGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Mode", 280, 8, 97, 65)

 

and there are two radio buttons in it

$Radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("1", 288, 24, 81, 17)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("2", 288, 44, 81, 17)

 

and I'm trying to make a case statement that when one of the radio buttons is selected, different parts of the GUI show or hide. This is what I tried, but its not working:

 

Case $ModeGroup
  If GUICtrlRead($Radio) = 1 Then
     GUICtrlSetState($DODLabel,$GUI_SHOW)
     GUICtrlSetState($DODInput,$GUI_SHOW)
  Else
     GUICtrlSetState($DODLabel,$GUI_HIDE)
     GUICtrlSetState($DODInput,$GUI_HIDE)
  EndIf

What am I doing wrong?

How are you controlling the change, through a button or immediately when you click on the radio button (full, runnable code would be awesome if you want assistance)? This works for me:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$ModeGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Mode", 280, 8, 97, 65)

$Radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("1", 288, 24, 81, 17)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("2", 288, 44, 81, 17)

$lbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test", 100, 400, 100, 20)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", 10, 400, 60, 40)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $btn
                GUICtrlSetState($lbl, (GUICtrlRead($Radio) = 1) ? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE)
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

Its a pretty long script (this is part of the main GUI and there are about 5 guis in the script)

I am trying to get the function to activate on click and not on a button click. I was hoping that setting the case to the group control would make it so when the group control was clicked, it would activate the case statement and then read the radio buttons.

The example you posted is very similar to the parts of the script that I'm using. I am using a label and an input rather than just a label.

 

Also, a question about what you posted... This line

GUICtrlSetState($lbl, (GUICtrlRead($Radio) = 1) ? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE)

Does that look at a control and toggle based on the control? I understand that you are setting the label state and reading the radio control, but I don't understand the syntax for the 

? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE

I get that your script is long, but adding the parts relevant to your question helps us help you. For example, are you using a switch like I am and GUIGetMsg, or are you using GUISetOnEvent?

Sure thing, Here is the GUI part that I generate with KODA:

$Main = GUICreate("Parameter Entry", 385, 135, 192, 114)
$File = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
$ProcessFile = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Process by File"&@TAB&"Ctrl+F", $File)
$SearchTypeLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Search Type:", 4, 12, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$SearchTypeCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 93, 10, 153, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Person Name|ID search")
$ParameterLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Parameter:", 4, 41, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$ParameterInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 93, 39, 153, 21)

$ModeGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Mode", 280, 8, 97, 65)
GUIStartGroup()
$Radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("1", 288, 24, 81, 17)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_CHECKED)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("2", 288, 44, 81, 17)

$DODLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Date", 10, 70, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$DODInput = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 123, 68, 123, 21,(0x00))
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 296, 77, 75, 25)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$cEnterDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
$cFileDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
Local $aAccelKeys[2][2] = [["{ENTER}", $cEnterDummy],["^f", $cFileDummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($aAccelKeys)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

EndSwitch
WEnd

What about something like this?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Main = GUICreate("Parameter Entry", 385, 135, 192, 114)
$File = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
$ProcessFile = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Process by File"&@TAB&"Ctrl+F", $File)
$SearchTypeLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Search Type:", 4, 12, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$SearchTypeCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 93, 10, 153, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Person Name|ID search")
$ParameterLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Parameter:", 4, 41, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$ParameterInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 93, 39, 153, 21)

$ModeGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Mode", 280, 8, 97, 65)
GUIStartGroup()
$Radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("1", 288, 24, 81, 17)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "setState")

$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("2", 288, 44, 81, 17)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "setState")

$DODLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Date", 10, 70, 85, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 11, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$DODInput = GUICtrlCreateDate("", 123, 68, 123, 21,(0x00))
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 296, 77, 75, 25)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$cEnterDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
$cFileDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
Local $aAccelKeys[2][2] = [["{ENTER}", $cEnterDummy],["^f", $cFileDummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($aAccelKeys)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "closeGUI")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func setState()
    GUICtrlSetState($DODLabel, (GUICtrlRead($Radio) = 1) ? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE)
    GUICtrlSetState($DODInput, (GUICtrlRead($Radio) = 1) ? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func closeGUI()
    Exit
EndFunc

PERFECT!

Thanks so much.

Can you point me to a tutorial that might explain this in a little more detail:

GUICtrlSetState($DODInput, (GUICtrlRead($DecedentsRadio) = 1) ? $GUI_SHOW : $GUI_HIDE)

I don't understand how exactly it works, I do this manually for a lot of my scripts (if variable = x then GUI show else Gui hide)

Look in the Help file for "Ternary operator".
