Button with 2 Functions

[ManneMoses]

Hey there,

e.g. I have a gui with one button. If i click the button it should turn transparency on and if i click it again it should turn transaprenc off, but how do i do that? or another example: If i click the button first time it should msgbox: "1" and for the second time it should say: "2", and if i click a third time it should say again 1. I do not have any answer, so can you please make an example script? Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english, i am german

ManneMoses,

One way of doing it:

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

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

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("State 1", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton

            Switch GUICtrlRead($cButton)
                Case "State 1"
                    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "State = 1")
                    GUICtrlSetData($cButton, "State 2")
                Case Else
                    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "State = 2")
                    GUICtrlSetData($cButton, "State 1")
            EndSwitch

    EndSwitch



WEnd

Please ask if you have any questions.

​Thank you for your quick reply, it works perfectly. But is there a way to do it without changing the buttons name?

ManneMoses,

Sure:

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

$iState = 1

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

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Press Me!", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton

            Switch $iState

                Case 1
                    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "State = 1")
                    $iState = 2
                Case Else
                    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "State = 2")
                    $iState = 1
            EndSwitch

    EndSwitch



WEnd

P.S.

When you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
