Noob Needs Some Direction

[Mhetto Garcus]

Help please.

I am very new to the world of scripting let alone AutoIt. If someone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to create text output to the clip board. I have been looking at the help files. I have been looking at other scripts. I just dont get it. Below is a very remedial GUI I created. If someone could fill in the blanks to create the proper output for me I would be very grateful.

GUI

#include <GUIConstants.au3

$Form1 = GUICreate("Dog Cat", 196, 295, 192, 125)

$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Animal", 48, 16, 121, 89)

$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Dog", 56, 40, 81, 17)

$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Cat", 56, 64, 81, 25)

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$Group2 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Toy", 48, 128, 121, 81)

$Radio3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Bone", 56, 144, 89, 25)

$Radio4 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("String", 56, 176, 89, 17)

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Reset", 24, 240, 73, 41, 0)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Copy", 112, 240, 73, 41, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case Else

EndSelect

WEnd

The output would be The dog likes his bone or The cat likes his string etc

Like I said this is very remedial, I am hoping to learn.

Thank you to anyone that can help me. If I am posting in the wrong area please let me know.

Thank you. That was what i was looking for. Kept making things way to complicated.

In order to determine if a control has been activated, put "Case $msg = $ControlID" in your While Loop. After I determined that the "Start" button was pushed, I used GUICtrlRead() to determine the state of each of the radio buttons, and construct my string accordingly.
