Need some guidance

[Parthptl]

Hi, is there an example script where you get to insert text into a user input box, then auto it would populate it? I don't want to insert a static text, I want it to be dynamic that's my goal.

 

Would that be possible? I am just starting to use AUTOIT, and automating some of the things.

Do you want to randomize the input each time or have the program read the input box and store it as a variable?

You would need something like: _GUICtrlComboBox_AutoComplete Or use something like below:

I'm after reading the thread, and it seems like he is trying to store the input in a variable. Would I be correct in saying that? If yes, I can follow up with some code.

I thought he was referring to autocomplete, although I could be wrong, and yes no need to ask if you want to follow up with some code ,

supraaxdd,

When you reply in future, 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 - responders know what they wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


$vMainGUI = GUICreate ( "Select a Category", 400, 300) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$ButtonExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 310, 260, 80, 30)
$ButtonConfirm = GUICtrlCreateButton("Proceed", 220, 260, 80, 30)

$val_discount = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "Enter Discount", 100, 130, 200)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg

            Case $ButtonExit
                Exit

            Case $ButtonConfirm
                ComboRead()

        EndSwitch
Wend

Func ComboRead() ;This function checks what is chosen in the combobox and stores it as a variable.


            Global $discount = GUICtrlRead($val_discount)
            MsgBox(0,"","You have typed in: " & $discount)

EndFunc ;==> ComboRead

Edit: I forgot to change the "Enter Discount" part. It won't change anything, it's just what is inside the input box when you first open up the GUI.

Yes, I would like to store it as a variable. 

[supraaxdd]

The script above takes the input and stores it as a variable for later use. In this case, I made a MsgBox that say the variable. Play around with it, that will be the best ways to learn.

Best of luck!
