Save Checkbox Status on ini file and read it - (Moved)

[mikestern]

Hi There, 

I seek your help on the following issue, I have a GUI where a bunch of inputs will be saved on ini file (setting.ini)

I am getting an issue to save the checked Checkbox  state and then read it from ini file. other data got reflected when the gui is called to be edited except Checkbox Status remains always unchecked even it was saved as checked in ini file  

Data are saved as 1 or 4 which is correct but I want the box state to be saved as $GUI_CHECKED or $GUI_UNCHECKED also

Below is  logic of  saving the value of check box. (Extract of target code only)

 

expandcollapse popup

While 1
        Other condition of code here

                    Case $Button_SaveSettings; By pressing save button below variable data will be saved In ini file 
                       Global $collect_Checkbox1 = GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1)
                    
                       IniWrite($IniFile, "Data", "Status ", $collect_Checkbox1); save the input in ini file
                       


                       GUIDelete($Setting_GUI)
                       GUICtrlSetState($ButtonSetting, $GUI_ENABLE)


                EndSwitch
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;

Func Settingform()

xxxx
xxxx

$IniFile = @ScriptDir & "\Setting.ini"
Global $Read_Checkbox1 = IniRead($IniFile, "Data", "Status ", ""); Read from Ini file and reflect it on Setting for GUI

$AdditionalOption = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Take snapshot and save picture", 40, 434, 165, 17); Label
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Read_Checkbox1, 24, 434, 17, 17)
GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox1, $GUI_UNCHECKED); Unchecked by default


Other code part

You might try this :

$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Take snapshot and save picture", 24, 434, 150, 17)
GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox1, $Read_Checkbox1)

I'm using following functions with the checkboxes:

Func _IsChecked($idControlID)
    ;Return BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idControlID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED     ;Returns true or false (oneliner)
    ;The lines below convert true and false to numbers - 1 and 0
    local $x=BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idControlID), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
    If $x = True Then Return 1
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

Func _CheckUncheck($id, $nr)
    If $nr = 0 Then
        GUICtrlSetState($id, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
    Else
        GUICtrlSetState($id, $GUI_CHECKED)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_CheckUncheck

eventually (additionally to the @mikell's change) you should change the default value of the following line

Global $Read_Checkbox1 = IniRead($IniFile, "Data", "Status ", ""); Read from Ini file and reflect it on Setting for GUI

If the Ini file is not available then you may want to have the last , "" changed into True/False or 1/0 depending which value type you are using.

Hi Guys, 

Sorry Melba 23 for posting on the wrong category. 

Mikemell: It worked perfectly, It is so simple and I don't understand how I miss it  Thank you Man

Dan_555: Your function will fit a combo box I have also with slight modification. 

 

Thank you guys, you really saved my day! Great Autoit and great contributors
