teamdad Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 What I am attempting seems so simple but I guess I can't put two and two together and come up with the code needed. What I need help with is a button in the GUI that will launch another program and do another action within that program. GUICreate ("Program Master") GuiSetControl("button","OK",50,70,70) GuiSetControlNotify(2) $val = RunWait("Notepad.exe", "C:\WINDOWS") Send("Today's time/date is {F5}") GUIWaitClose () The above works backwards. It launches Notepad and does nothing; when Notepad is closed it then launches the GUI with the button on it that also does nothing. Any pointers for a lost soul ?
Josbe Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 GUICreate ("Program Master") $button1= GuiSetControl("button","OK",50,70,70) GuiSetControlNotify() While GUIMsg() <> 0 If GUIRead() = $button1 Then Run("Notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled", "") ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "Today's time/date is {F5}") EndIf Wend Look the changes....

teamdad Posted May 21, 2004 Author Posted May 21, 2004 Something went wrong when I tried to run the script above.... I am using version 3.0.101.4 of the AutoIT-gui and get this error message. Line 6 While GUIMsg() <>0 While ^ERROR Error: Unknown function name. Any other thoughts.....
teamdad Posted May 21, 2004 Author Posted May 21, 2004 Thanks for the insight to use the unstable update. LOL I guess sometimes it pays to be a little risky and not so stable all the time. It works perfect now!!!
