Is it possible to queue the task?

[lucius100]

I am trying to make unattended installer, and here is some GUI example

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 237, 89, 369, 423)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Install CCleaner", 8, 8, 97, 17)
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Install Yahoo", 8, 32, 97, 17)
$Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Install Antivirus", 8, 56, 97, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 136, 48, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
         Case $Button1
            _Start()
         Case $Checkbox1
            _install1()
         Case $Checkbox2
            _install2()
         Case $Checkbox3
            _install3()

    EndSwitch
 WEnd
 
Func _install1()
   Run ("install1.exe")
EndFunc
Func _install2()
   Run ("install2.exe")
EndFunc
Func _install3()
   Run ("install3.exe")
EndFunc 

I assign the task to each checkbox, and then I press the start, it will run the task with box checked only. Is it possible?

Here you go, just retrieve the value of the checkboxes and call your functions accordingly.

1 means it's checked, 4 means it's unchecked.

            GUICtrlSetState($Button1, $GUI_DISABLE)

            If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) = 1 Then _install1()
            If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox2) = 1 Then _install2()
            If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox3) = 1 Then _install3()

            GUICtrlSetState($Button1, $GUI_ENABLE)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _install1()
   Run ("install1.exe")
EndFunc
Func _install2()
   Run ("install2.exe")
EndFunc
Func _install3()
   Run ("install3.exe")
EndFunc

I should add that using Run() instead of RunWait() might be a bad idea since the script won't wait until your installers finish and will run all 3 .exes almost simultaneously.

Unless that is what you want.

Thanks, will try it later

Another thing I forget to ask, how to create a message box say success or whatever, if all the task is done?

Check out the section below $Button1 and try to understand what the script is doing here:

- Button gets disabled so you can't press it again while the installers are running (might lead to unwanted effects) - this is only cosmetic.

- (Optional) Installer 1 runs

- (Optional) Installer 2 runs

- (Optional) Installer 3 runs

- Button gets enabled so you could use it again.

If you want a message box, add it right after the above part.
