[timjohnson]

Hi all,

How can I test if the user click a certain button.

Say if the user click the "cancel" button during the print diaglog box, I want to do action X.

So, how can I test if the perdorm a certain muose click on that "cancel" button?

Many thanks.

If this is a GUI you've made:

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
       ; Do something
    EndIf
Wend

If your not using those, then maybe take a look at WinGetState(), Maybe MouseGetPos() and a mixture of _IsPressed(). Maybe there is some other means that I'm just a bit brain dead to think of at the moment.

GL!

it kind of depends on where the button is... if it's a response to a msgbox, you check that by assigning the result to a variable:

$LikeThis = msgbox(3,"Wasn't This Easy?","Don't you love the helpfile?")
select
case $LikeThis = 6
msgbox(0,"Good.","Me too.")
case $LikeThis = 7
msgbox(0,"Oh yeah?!","You should read it before you answer")
case $LikeThis = 2
msgbox(0,"Hmmm.","Well i guess cancel is better than no...")
EndSelect

if you're trying to get a response from a button in a gui you've made, then it depends on how your gui is running, either as a message loop, or eventmode. either way you should assign the button to a variable so that the return value can be evaluated.

;either way you run gui, next line should be the same.  it assigns the button a name, so messages can be received from the button via the variable
$ThisButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click me.  I dare you.",0,0)
;for message loop (default) gui:
;... other code here
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $ThisButton
    MsgBox(0,"Uh-oh","You've done it now...")
EndSelect
;... other code

;for OnEventMode (my fav)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($ThisButton,"BTN")
Func BTN()
    MsgBox(0,"Uh-oh","You've done it now...")
EndFunc

if you're talking about other buttons, like buttons in gui's you didn't make, or buttons to close the window, let me know and i'll provide more examples....

***edit*** too slow i guess....

Hi cameronsdad,

Thanks for your help. I have tried WinGetState(). I thought I make it works, but in fact it didn't.

For the buttons, it is in fact buttons didn't make by me. It is just the Print" and "Cancel" buttons in the standard print diaglogue box

What I try to do is if the user click "Print"... of course it print stuff,

else if user click "cancel", I will do a bunch of other action.

Thanks.
