I created a GUI and I have a script written as well. Basicall the GUI is a form of input fields with a Go button that I would like to run a script to use the data from the input fields to enter into corresponding fields in some programs. I finally figured out how to execute something upon button click, but do I paste my script code in my GUI (like upon button click run this script) or do I point the GUI to another autoit script, i.e. script.exe? Can I pull global variables from the GUI file and use them in another script?

Here is the GUI I've got setup now:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

; initialize variables
Global $serial
Global $username
Global $password
Global $radius
Global $description
Global $btn

; GUI
GuiCreate("Title", 400, 500)
GuiSetIcon("icon.exe", 0)

; PIC
GuiCtrlCreatePic("logo.gif",168.5,10,63,56)

; INPUT
$serial = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 75, 100, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Serial Number - No Dashes ex. L3XXXXX",20,80)

; INPUT
$username = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 110, 100, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Network UserName",20,115)

; INPUT
$password = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 145, 100, 20,$ES_PASSWORD)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Windows Login Password",20,150)

; INPUT
$radius = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 180, 100, 20,$ES_PASSWORD)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("RADIUS Password",20,185)

; INPUT
$description = GuiCtrlCreateInput("Example: John Smith - IBM ThinkPad T43", 75, 255, 250, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Your Name - Brand and Model of PC",100,230)

; GROUP WITH RADIO BUTTONS
GuiCtrlCreateGroup("Type", 150, 315, 100, 75)
GuiCtrlCreateRadio("Laptop", 170, 335, 60)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
GuiCtrlCreateRadio("Desktop", 170, 360, 60)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

; BUTTON
$btn = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Go", 150, 400, 100, 30)

; PROGRESS
GuiCtrlCreateProgress(75, 450, 275, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData(-1, 60)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Progress:",20,450)


; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
GUISetState()
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $msg = $btn
run("script.exe")
Case Else
;;;
EndSelect
WEnd

So, again my question is do I keep script.exe upon button click or do I just remove run("script.exe") and paste the script there?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

you could or you could pass command line args to the other script and have that script parse the command line args

Here is an example of how to use OnEventMode()

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

; Change to OnEvent mode
Opt('GUIOnEventMode', True)

; initialize variables
Global $serial
Global $username
Global $password
Global $radius
Global $description

; GUI
GuiCreate("Title", 400, 500)
GuiSetIcon("icon.exe", 0)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'Event_GUIClose')

; PIC
GuiCtrlCreatePic("logo.gif",168.5,10,63,56)

; INPUT
$serial = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 75, 100, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Serial Number - No Dashes ex. L3XXXXX",20,80)

; INPUT
$username = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 110, 100, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Network UserName",20,115)

; INPUT
$password = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 145, 100, 20,$ES_PASSWORD)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Windows Login Password",20,150)

; INPUT
$radius = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 225, 180, 100, 20,$ES_PASSWORD)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("RADIUS Password",20,185)

; INPUT
$description = GuiCtrlCreateInput("Example: John Smith - IBM ThinkPad T43", 75, 255, 250, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Your Name - Brand and Model of PC",100,230)

; GROUP WITH RADIO BUTTONS
GuiCtrlCreateGroup("Type", 150, 315, 100, 75)
GuiCtrlCreateRadio("Laptop", 170, 335, 60)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
GuiCtrlCreateRadio("Desktop", 170, 360, 60)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1);close group

; BUTTON
GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", 150, 400, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, 'MyFunction')

; PROGRESS
GuiCtrlCreateProgress(75, 450, 275, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData(-1, 60)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Progress:",20,450)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func MyFunction()
    
; Hide the GUI while the function is running
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
; ================
; The script you wish to run should go here
; ================
; Just a test to show that the GUI disapears
    MsgBox(0, "", "Test")
; Show the GUI after the funtion is finished
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    
EndFunc 

; =============================================================================
; Event_GUIClose():
;    Called when the GUI is asked to close (e.g. when the user clicks the X).
; =============================================================================

Func Event_GUIClose()
    
    Exit
    
EndFunc  ;==>Event_GUIClose

For some reason when I go to close the gui now the x doesn't do anything and the gui stays open. But the rest of it is awesome! Thank you so much!

Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1)
