conditional help

[Raluvian]

im trying to make a launch pad for all my programs assosiated with a certain game... and i have been trying to get this gui working, but i don't get how to link exe to a button. and be able to type an exe name into a chat box within the gui and click a button to run that exe name i typed in.

so far i have

$var1 = "notepad.exe"

if $button_2 > 1 Then

run("$var1")

else

msgbox(0, "ERROR", "The given EXE was not found")

EndIf

this should help

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Dim $var1 = "notepad.exe"

GUICreate("MY gui")
$button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("RUN NOTEPAD", 50, 100, 100, 20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE then Exit
    
    If $msg = $button_2 Then
        Run($var1); no quotes
        WinWait("")
        If WinExists("Untitled -") Then
            Send("Hello", 1)
        Else
            msgbox(0,"ERROR", " Notepad was not found   ")
        EndIf
    EndIf
    
WEnd

Also the command

Run

will give a fatal error and the script will crash ... unless you set the @error... see help
