Please don't think i'm stupid - this is an easy one

Hi All

I'm a rank amateur/beginner at AutoIT but want to simply create a console for running other executables.

I used the gui wizard to create a simple image that has buttons on that link to other exe's but i cannot for the life in me work out how to link the buttons to the executables.

I know im thick and this is easy for you lot - but give me a chance and i'll get there in the end.

This is the only code i've got for the gui so far

GuiCreate("SolveSE Console", 296, 425,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("SolveSE Console: What do you want to do?", 40, 10, 270, 30)

$Button_2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Stop SolveSE", 10, 70, 270, 40)

$Button_3 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Uninstall SolveSE", 10, 120, 270, 40)

$Button_4 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Install New SolveSE", 10, 170, 270, 40)

$Button_5 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Upgrade SmartSwitch", 10, 220, 270, 40)

$Button_6 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Upgrade SCSrv", 10, 270, 270, 40)

$Button_7 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Exit", 40, 320, 210, 40)

$Progress_8 = GuiCtrlCreateProgress(10, 380, 270, 30)

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case Else

;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

Exit

Any help with adding the functionality to launch exe's off each of these buttons would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

Case $msg = $Button_1

Case $msg = $Button_2
