Select a category that contains checkboxes

[Zobu]

Hi guys,

I am new to coding with AutoIT and have figured out most things on my own, but now I cannot find any help or tutorials to continue with my project..

I created a GUI with KODA so that you can understand what I am about to do

so when I click on Test1 - checkbox "first" and "second" should appear

and when I click on Test2 - checkbox "third" and "fourth" should appear

but checkbox "first" and "second" should not be hidden instead "third" and "fourth" should be at the top

here is the GUI to show u what i mean...

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 584, 311, -1, -1)
GUISetFont(20, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Bot = GUICtrlCreateTab(0, 0, 581, 310, BitOR($TCS_SCROLLOPPOSITE,$TCS_FIXEDWIDTH))
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Collecting = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TEST")
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_SHOW)
$List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 5, 35, 280, 251, $LBS_NOTIFY)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Test1|Test2")
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 6, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Group2 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 296, 30, 280, 256)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 6, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Checkbox5 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("first", 304, 40, 169, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 5, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Checkbox6 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("second", 304, 60, 177, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 5, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Checkbox7 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("third", 304, 80, 177, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 5, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Checkbox7 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("fourth", 304, 100, 177, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 5, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

You'll have to hide the controls when they are created and then when the list is clicked, get the list item text and act accordingly. You also have two controls with the same id ($Checkbox7). Something like this, assuming the checkbox controls are always at the same top position.
