Autoit-qui Help

[vickerps]

slowly starting to learn the superb autoit-qui

One of the probs i'am have is how do you create a loop

I have written a little test script which i want to select a name from the combo box.

Once the user presses apply a messege box come up saying "name" was selected

This works no probs for the first time but then if they press apply again or choose a different name nothing happens.

How do i keep it looping?

example script

GUICreate("names")

GUISetControl("button", "Apply", 240,260)

GUISetControlNotify()

$combo = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", -1,10,80)

GUISetControlData(-1,"paul|peter|sam")

GUISetControl("button", "Exit", 290,260,50)

While GUImsg()

$combo = GuiRead ($combo)

IF $combo = "paul" Then

MsgBox(0,"", $combo & " " & "was selected")

elseIF $combo = "peter" Then

MsgBox(0,"", $combo & " " & "was selected")

elseIF $combo = "sam" Then

MsgBox(0,"", $combo & " " & "was selected")

endif

You override the $COMBO handle with the value of the combocontrol with this statement:$combo = GuiRead ($combo)

try it this way:

GUICreate("names")
GUISetControl("button", "Apply", 240,260)
GUISetControlNotify()
$C_COMBO = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", -1,10,80)
GUISetControlData(-1,"paul|peter|sam")
GUISetControl("button", "Exit", 290,260,50)
While GUImsg()
   $COMBO = GuiRead($C_COMBO)
   If $COMBO = "paul" Then
      MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
   ElseIf $COMBO = "peter" Then
      MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
   ElseIf $COMBO = "sam" Then
      MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
   EndIf

I could not get your script to work. GUICreate does not exist. Possibly I don't have the latest version?

Anyway, after a quick look it seems that the Wile...Wend loop will exit after the first GUImsg is received, causing the whole function to stop. Also, there is way too much repitiion in there. You don't need to have a separate If...Then setup for each name if you just want to display which one was selected (all of the outcomes are the same).

Try this:

GUICreate("names")
GUISetControl("button", "Apply", 240,260)
GUISetControlNotify()

$combo = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", -1,10,80)
GUISetControlData(-1,"paul|peter|sam")

GUISetControl("button", "Exit", 290,260,50)

While 1
     While GUImsg()
     $combo = GuiRead ($combo)
     MsgBox(0,"", $combo & " " & "was selected")
     Wend
Wend

Of course, then you will need to build in some check to allow exiting the endless While...Wend loop...

I do not have any GUI functions listed in my AutoIt3 help file. The program tells me that GUICreate is an unknown function.

I assume that this means somewhere there is an add-in for the GUI functions, but I did not see anything listed for downloads except the 2 versions of the program and some C++ code.

This stuff is based on JPM's Test version that includes the GUI functions:

http://www.hiddensoft.com/fileman/users/jp...-gui.102.16.zip

[krclark]

Okay, I downloaded that and will try it soon.

Is there a list of other useful things which can be downloaded to add-in to the program?

There is nothing listing user account folders that I can find...

[krclark]

Right...

So I downloaded the GUI version. Now what?

Should I replace the original with these files?

[Jos]

I prefer to keep the Beta/Unstable versions in a seperate directory and make a Userfunction in the Editor so i am able to run the script Iam woking on with the Official or Beta version.

thanks JdeB

thant work great and learnt somthing in the process

using the same script the one you fixed for me. Is it possible to make it bring up the msgbox up without clicking on the apply button

so when they select the name in the combo box the msgbox will just come up

Kclarke don't take the script the litterally I only wrote it as an example. just found out about autoit-gui a few days ago and it superb with don't they just incorperate this into the main autoit dowload and have it as one entity.

oh and krclark thank for your input. go to the help file and go to gui references via the contents the index and search doesn't have the gui in it.

JPM's last version (autoit-gui.102.16.zip) has a helpfile where he did add all his newfunctions to the helpfile Index...

missed that questions...

try this:

GUICreate("names")
$C_COMBO = GUISetControl("combo", "my combo", -1,10,80)
GUISetControlNotify ( $C_COMBO,2)
GUISetControlData(-1,"paul|peter|sam")
GUISetControl("button", "Exit", 290,260,50)
While GUImsg()
  $COMBO = GuiRead($C_COMBO)
  If $COMBO = "paul" Then
     MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
  ElseIf $COMBO = "peter" Then
     MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
  ElseIf $COMBO = "sam" Then
     MsgBox(0,"", $COMBO & " " & "was selected")
  EndIf
