Looping a switch statement?

[antfuentes87]

Hello everyone,  hope you are having a great day. I have been trying to figure this out for awhile, but no luck yet so I thought I would ask for some help. Any help is much appreciated. I have a For Loop that creates GUICtrlCreateButton and adds them to array ($enclaveLessButtons). This works great, but the issue I am having now is working with the Switch statement and GUIGetMsg(). If I manual set the switch statement using $enclaveLessButtons[1], $enclaveLessButtons[2]. etc... it works. I can capture the button being clicked and perform whatever action I need. The thing is the array size of the $enclaveLessButtons can change at anytime and I really do not want to write every single Case statement for each variable in the array. How can I loop the Case statements using the $enclaveLessButtons array.   The entire code is below, if you look at the While loop at the bottom, you can see a couple of Case examples I wrote out. This code will not run without other .au3 scripts I made that hold various functions, etc... Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your time.

antfuentes87,

In future, posting runnable code would be a good idea if you require help - a short reproducer script is probably best.

What I would normally do in the case of an indeterminate number of controls is to save their ControlIDs to an array and then loop through that array to check if GUIGetMsg has returned an event from one of them. Once you have the index of the control in the array you can easily arrange for other functions to run. Give me a moment and I will provide an example script.

Another solution that you could use is Dummy controls.

Here is an example:

GUICreate("test")
Local $enclaveLessButtons[16], $x = 25, $y = 25
Local $iStart = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
For $i = 1 To 15 Step 1
    $enclaveLessButtons[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton($i, $x, $y)
    $x += 25
    $y += 25
Next
Local $iEnd = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $iStart To $iEnd
            MsgBox(0, "", "hi")
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

antfuentes87,

Here you go:

expandcollapse popup

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

While 1
    $iCount = InputBox("How Many?", "Number of controls ( 1 To 5)")
    Switch $iCount
        Case ""
            Exit
        Case 1 To 5
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Global $aButton[$iCount + 1] = [$iCount]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

For $i = 1 To $iCount
        $aButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button " & $i, 10, ($i * 50) - 40, 80, 30)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1
    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case Else
            For $i = 1 To $iCount
                If $iMsg = $aButton[$i] Then
                    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "Button " & $i)
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            Next
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Please ask if you have any questions.

Thank you both! I was able to come up with something from both of your examples. Thank you so much, on to the next task! If any of you guys like LESS, you can check out my LESS framework I am building @ https://github.com/antfuentes87/enclave This is what the AutoIt program is interacting with. Thanks again! Next time I will try to make a better example that works, it just has so many functions, I was unsure how I could include everything to make it work.
