Read names INTO a Combo Box


Recommended Posts

I am trying to make a script for some logging of informatie before starting a application.

You must select the employee, fill in the customer name and if needed a remark.

This is my code for start.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

; GUI
GuiCreate("Netviewer", 499, 458)
GuiSetIcon(@SystemDir & "\mspaint.exe", 0)

; BACKGROUND
GUISetBkColor (0xFFFFFF)

; VARIABLES
$kantlijn = "70"

; LOGO
$n1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\company\logo1.jpg",0,0, 499,160)
$n2 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\company\logo2.jpg",0,370, 499,88)

; LABELS
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Medewerker :",$kantlijn ,202 ,65 ,20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Klantnaam :",$kantlijn ,242 ,65 ,20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Opmerking :",$kantlijn ,282 ,65 ,20)

; COMBO BOX
$medewerker=GuiCtrlCreatecombo("<medewerker>",$kantlijn+100 , 200, 200, 100)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Marcel|Rutger|Remco")

; INPUT FIELD
$klantnaam=GuiCtrlCreateInput("<klantnaam>",$kantlijn+100, 240, 200, 20)
$opmerking=GuiCtrlCreateInput("<opmerking>",$kantlijn+100, 280, 200, 20)

; START BUTTON
$start  = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start Netviewer",$kantlijn+125,340,150,20)

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $start

            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
Wend

What i want to do is filling the COMBO BOX with customers names wich must be read from a file.

For an example i got a text file:

Customers.txt

test1

test2

test3

test4

Then the combo box will show in the pull down menu these values test1, test2, test3 and test4.

Is this possible?

_FileReadToArray()

Or

IniRead() << Better Choice it seems

GUICtrlRead()

GUICtrlSetData()

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

You could open the file for reading then FileReadLine each name then GUICtrlSetData it into the combo box.

I was already trying with the iniread, but if i want to add this in my own script i get alot of errors.

Now i come to the point of not knowing how to accomplish this yet, because of the experience with programming.

I found this example in the help file

$var = IniReadSection("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2")
If @error Then 
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Error occured, probably no INI file.")
Else
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        MsgBox(4096, "", "Key: " & $var[$i][0] & @CRLF & "Value: " & $var[$i][1])
    Next
EndIf

As far as i can think off, i have to replace the Msgbox.... with GUICtrlSetData(-1, $i)

But this doesn't work. :)

Filereadline does work with msgbox but i got the same problem as with the ini.

I got this error "Expected a "=" operator in assignment statement.: " at this line " $wood_data &= "|"&$line"

Must it not between " " ?

I am still trying to understand that part :)

At syntax check i got no errors.

; Replace this
$wood_data &= "|"&$line

; With this
$wood_data = $wood_data & "|" & $line

Try that :mellow:

The script does start now, but it hangs.

Edited the post because i was so stupid as i could ever be. Finally there was a :) and i understand a little bit more of this code.

I keep trying, trying, trying in the mean while.

-=Edit=-

I have adjusted the code with a msgbox

$line = FileReadLine("C:\Mareco\customers.txt")
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(4096, "Test", $line)
    $wood_data = $wood_data & "|" & $line

It keeps saying test1

You have to create a handle to the file before you read any lines from it, otherwise it will just keep reading the first line in the file.

$File = FileOpen("C:\Mareco\customers.txt", 0)
If $File = -1 Then Exit
$medewerker=GuiCtrlCreatecombo("<medewerker>",$kantlijn+100 , 200, 200, 100)
$wood_data = ""
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($File)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $wood_data = $wood_data & "|" & $line
Wend
GUICtrlSetData($medewerker, $wood_data)

Ah man, i finally understood the code and tried it first on a new script.

$klantenbestand = FileOpen("C:\Mareco\customers.txt", 0)
$wood_data = ""

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $klantenbestand = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($klantenbestand)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $wood_data = $wood_data & "|" & $line
    MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)
Wend

MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $wood_data)

FileClose($klantenbestand)

And yes i have finally found the problem and that was exact the same as you described.

Getting proud on myself :)

Thanks for your great help, you guys are the man :mellow:

You guys are GREAT :)

I got one more question:

Is it possible to add a non excisting customer to the customers.txt if it does not already excits?

For an example:

The customer AUTOIT does not excist, i type the name in the field and it will add its own to the list of customers.txt or if we add a name like OTHER and change the code if value is OTHER then a box will open where you can fill in the name of the new customer wich will be displayed next time you start the program.

I think this is possible but you have to check what kind of value is selected in the pulldown menu.

And so we are coming to my other part of my question.

Is it possible to check if the user has filled in all the fields wich are required?

All the fields must be filled with information, names, etc.

    $ComboData = $ComboData & $i & '|'

In addition to this topic i got one more question

This is my code now:

FileClose($logfile)
FileClose($klantfile)
FileClose($medewerkersfile)

After this part of the code

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $start
    ; BEGINTIJD
            $BegintijdUur=(@HOUR)
            $BegintijdMin=(@MIN)
            $Begintijd=($BegintijdUur & ":" & $BegintijdMin)
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
Wend

; START APPLICATION
Run("notepad.exe")
ProcessWaitClose("notepad.exe")

When you close the application it will write somethings to the file. What i am trying to do is before the FileWriteLine and after setting those variables to reactivate the GUI where you can fill in the last INPUT field named $opmerking2 and if its possible that the START button change in EXIT button.

To make it more difficult :) i want to block input from all the fields except the last INPUT field.

I have tried this code:

; START BUTTON
$start=GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
$medewerker=GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
$klantnaam=GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
$opmerking1=GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $start

            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
Wend

I put this afther the variables, but only the button is disabled and not the fields.

What can i do best? close the GUI and recreat a new one with the variables or is there a way to refresh the original GUI and block some fields and change the button?

I hope it is clear and not to long story.

I have found a solution, this code i have created and put after the first WHILE loop.

; START BUTTON
GUICtrlSetState($start, $GUI_HIDE)
GUICtrlSetState($medewerker, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState($klantnaam, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState($opmerking1, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState($labelmedewerker, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState($labelklantnaam, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetState($labelopmerking1, $GUI_DISABLE)


; START BUTTON
$afsluiten  = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Afsluiten",$kantlijn+125,380,150,20)

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $afsluiten
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
Wend

If you close the application, the GUI will be reactivated and you see the changes from active to non active in 1 sec and the button i have hided and recreated you. So you see the changes but if you want to change something that fast you must be superman :)
