get state

[crystalburner]

$outlook = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Somebody works on this computer and it has Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express e-Mail.", 5, 365)

$exchange = GUICtrlCreateRadio("This computer is an unattended Server and has Microsoft Exchange Installed.", 5, 383)

$nonms = GUICtrlCreateRadio("This computer is an unattended Server and has a non Microsoft e-Mail system installed.", 5, 401)

I have 3 radio buttons in my gui

and in the while 1 ... Wend loop i have

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

etc

Wend

Inside this While .. Wend loop I want to be able to see if radio button 3 has been selected but whatever code i try to put in the loop gets run forever and makes a mess.

If someone chooses radio button nonms i just want a message to pop up once but if i put

$test = GUICtrlRead ( $nonms )

returns 88 as the $test

so if i put

if $test = 88 msgbox "4,"","you chose nonms")

i get an infinate loop of message boxes

what am i doing wrong?

You could try something like this (I actually don't know if this is correct, but it seemed to work)

#include <guiconstants.au3>

$m = GUICreate('test')
$nonms = GUICtrlCreateRadio('testradio', 10, 10)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = - 3 Then Exit
    If $msg = BitOR($nonms, $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, '', '')
WEnd

You could use $test as a flag to indicate you've already detected that button and not check it any more:

#include <GUI_Constants.au3>

$test = 0
While(1)
   If $test <> $GUI_CHECKED Then
      $test = GuiCtrlRead($nonms)
      ... etc. ...
   EndIf
Wend

Once you detect it is pushed (I may not have remembered the Macro correctly, but you get the idea), you won't test it again at all.

Problem with that is radio buttons tend to get changed a couple times before the operator settles on the button they really wanted. That may drive you to use a seperate flag variable to hold the state of your test for the button.

Hope that helped!

Edit: The swiss cheese brain with the write-only memory never works, I got to a machine where I could look it up, and the value for a selected radio button is $GUI_CHECKED, not @BS_Pushed, and you can't use that constant without the GUI_Constants.au3 include file.

#include <guiconstants.au3>

$m = GUICreate('test')
$nonms = GUICtrlCreateRadio('testradio', 10, 10)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = - 3 Then Exit
    If $msg = BitOR($nonms, $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, '', '')
WEnd

Cool! I didn't realize the messages returned by controls included the state as bits in the message. Usefull info...

#include <guiconstants.au3>

$m = GUICreate('test')
$nonms = GUICtrlCreateRadio('test radio', 10, 10, 120)
$nonms2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio('test radio 2', 10, 30, 120)

GUISetState()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
      Case $msg = $nonms
         If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($nonms), $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, 'test', "radio")
      Case $msg = $nonms2
         If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($nonms2), $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, 'test', "radio 2")
   EndSelect
WEnd

Ahh, I realized last night that I forgot GUICtrlRead() with the BitOr() when I was out and about, and forgot to post that here... Thanks Gary! Although I think it was one of your post anyway that I remembered that from

[GaryFrost]

even better example of checking the state of the control

#include <guiconstants.au3>

$m = GUICreate('test')
$nonms = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('test checkbox', 10, 10, 120)
$nonms2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox('test checkbox 2', 10, 30, 120)

GUISetState()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
      Case $msg = $nonms
         If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($nonms), $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, 'test', "checkbox")
      Case $msg = $nonms2
         If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($nonms2), $GUI_CHECKED) Then MsgBox(0, 'test', "checkbox 2")
   EndSelect
WEnd

be careful which you use for this BitAnd/BitOr, notice which I used.

[GaryFrost]

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
ConsoleWrite(BitAND(BitOR($GUI_CHECKED,$GUI_DISABLE), $GUI_CHECKED) & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(BitOR($GUI_DISABLE, $GUI_CHECKED) & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(BitAND($GUI_DISABLE, $GUI_CHECKED) & @LF)
