[Solved] GUICtrlRead each variable without array

[Elliotest]

Hello, how do I do my GUI to read all variable $b1 $b2 etc... checkboxes states without having to write a line for each checkbox, because I will add many in the future. I tried this but it doesn't read anything:

For $i = 0 To 23
    Assign("b"&$i, GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($i, 10, 30 + (20 * $i), 65, 17))
Next

And:

For $i = 0 To 23
         If GUICtrlRead($b&$i) = $GUI_CHECKED Then ($v&$i) = 2
       Next

Thanks for the help !

$b is undefined, shouldn't it be GuiCtrlRead("b"&$i)?

[Elliotest]

Thanks to the Assign it is defined no ?

If not, the GUICtrlRead("b"&$i) would read the variable $b + $i value ?

execute...

$sSomething1 = "test1"
$sSomething2 = "test2"

For $i = 1 To 2
    ConsoleWrite(Execute("$sSomething" & $i) & @CRLF)
Next

put the execute into your GuiCtrlRead

Console Output:

test1
test2

Sorry missed the Assign, you should be able to use GuiCtrlRead(Eval("b" & $i))

I did 

If GUICtrlRead(Execute("$b"&$i)) = $GUI_CHECKED Then (Execute("$v"&$i)) = 2

But still getting 0 to the variable $v1 even if checkbox is checked

[jdelaney]

GuiCtrlGetState to get the checked state.

Or, GuiCtrlRead with the second param = 1

Use Eval (forgot about that one)...that one's much safer...execute can run some nasty stuff. (thanks Subz)

Either it doesnt read the checkbox or it doesn't put it in $v1 or else $v variable

I will give it a try

Edit: same thing

Oops, my mistake:

Example3()

Func Example3()
    GUICreate("My GUI (GetControlState)")
    Local $idCheckbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("checkbox", 10, 10)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1) ; checked

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

        EndSwitch
        $b = GUICtrlRead(Eval("idCheckbox"))=$GUI_CHECKED
        ConsoleWrite($b & @CRLF)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

This doesn't have all the required includes.

Edit: Eval works, just didn't remove the '$'

 

You'll need to use 'assign' to set the variable value:

$value1 = "0"
Assign ( "value" & 1, "Test")
ConsoleWrite($value1 & @CRLF)

Oops, my mistake...keep using execute, and guictrlread:

Example3()

Func Example3()
    GUICreate("My GUI (GetControlState)")
    Local $idCheckbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("checkbox", 10, 10)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1) ; checked

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

        EndSwitch
        $b = GUICtrlRead(Execute("$idCheckbox"))=$GUI_CHECKED
        ConsoleWrite($b & @CRLF)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

This doesn't have all the required includes.

I think you misunderstood what my program do. It creates 23 checkboxes and read them all in order to after write them in a ini. But for ini I will try to find myself because for now I'm focusing on the data reading of my checkboxes.

Thanks for your answers.

I've edited my above post....re-read it.

It answers all your basic questions...if you want specific answers, provide the script for us to fix.

The gui example I provided is to show it's correctly getting the state of the checkbox...keep clicking it, and see the output update.

Func Example()
$hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 1800, 900)
$idClose1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 1750,850)
For $i = 0 To 23
    Assign("b"&$i, GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($i, 10, 30 + (20 * $i), 65, 17))
Next
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
    $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    While ($idMsg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE) And ($idMsg <> $idClose1)
       For $i = 0 To 23
         If GUICtrlGetState(Eval("$b"&$i)) = $GUI_CHECKED Then ($v&$i) = 2
       Next
        $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()
     WEnd
For $i = 0 To 23
   Assign("bs"&$i, GUICtrlRead(Eval"$b"&$i))
IniWrite("C:\Users\Elliotest\Desktop\Config.txt","Section1","sec"&$i-1,$bs&$i)
Next
MsgBox(0,"test",$v1)
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
 EndFunc

Here is

[jdelaney]

I'm only going to be able to guess what you are trying to do...Too many syntax errors up there...not efficient to keep passing around the same values to new variables either, but I kept it as you provided it:

Example()

Func Example()
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 1800, 900)
    $idClose1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 1750,850)
    For $i = 0 To 23
        Assign("b"&$i, GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($i, 10, 30 + (20 * $i), 65, 17))
    Next
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
    $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    For $i = 0 To 23
        If GuiCtrlRead(Eval("b"&$i)) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Assign("v"&$i,2)
        Assign("bs" & $i, GUICtrlRead(Eval("b" & $i)))
        IniWrite("Config.txt","Section1","sec" & $i,Eval("bs"&$i))
    Next
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc

I will try this tomorrow because I'm tired and I don't understand anything now. Thank you for the help really.

[jdelaney]

Added in a debug messagebox...just set the checks, and then close the box, and it will set the INI...it's setting the ini with the state, and not with True/False for checked/unchecked

Example()

Func Example()
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 1800, 900)
    $idClose1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 1750,850)
    For $i = 0 To 23
        Assign("b"&$i, GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($i, 10, 30 + (20 * $i), 65, 17))
    Next
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
    $idMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    MsgBox(1,1,"set the checkboxes")
    For $i = 0 To 23
        If GuiCtrlRead(Eval("b"&$i)) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Assign("v"&$i,2)
        Assign("bs" & $i, GUICtrlRead(Eval("b" & $i)))
        IniWrite("Config.txt","Section1","sec" & $i,Eval("bs"&$i))
    Next
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc

Oh god, I just tested because I saw your message when posted mine, and it works

Wow, either you are genius either I'm stupid, thank you !
