Gui in If statement...

[Airwolf]

I basically want a Gui to pop up and ask for user input with a combolist if a variable is blank. I've tried it and it's not working, it just skips that part of the script it seems.

Example:

Global $company
Global $conumber

$company = EnvGet("COMPANY")

If Not $company = "" Then
                Run("program.exe")
Else
     ; GUI
    GuiCreate("gui", 400, 150)
    GuiSetIcon("icon.ico")
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'Event_GUIClose')
    
; BUTTON
    GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 200, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, 'conumber')
    
; COMBO
    $conumber = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 130, 75, 150, 120, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, "company1|company2","company1")
EndIf

Func conumber()
                Blah Blah Blah, script stuff
EndFunc

Exit

This is wrong:

If Not $company = "" Then

should be:

If Not ($company = "") Then

or

If $company <> "" Then

If $company <> "" Then

Changed it, it had no effect. I haven't had problems not using () around variables like that before, I think it is redundant.

Nah..

try this

$company = ""
If Not $company = "" Then ConsoleWrite("Test 1" & @LF)
If Not ($company = "") Then ConsoleWrite("Test 2" & @LF)

try this

$company = ""
If Not $company = "" Then ConsoleWrite("Test 1" & @LF)
If Not ($company = "") Then ConsoleWrite("Test 2" & @LF)

Regardless, why isn't my Gui showing up? It doesn't do anything. Is it possible to use a Gui like that in an If statement?

Regardless is your way of saying ...you are right ?

here is a base working GUI... need modification but should get you started:

#include<GUIconstants.au3>
$company = ""
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
If Not ($company = "") Then
                Run("program.exe")
Else
     ; GUI
    GuiCreate("gui", 400, 150)
    GuiSetIcon("icon.ico")
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'Event_GUIClose')
; BUTTON
    GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 100, 100, 200, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, 'conumber')
; COMBO
    $conumber = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 130, 75, 150, 120, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, "company1|company2","company1")
    GUISetState()
    While 1
        Sleep (20)
    WEnd
EndIf

Func Event_GUIClose()
    ; Guiclosed
    Exit
EndFunc
Func conumber()
               ; Blah Blah Blah, script stuff
EndFunc

Exit

Thanks guys, adding the while/wend and the GuiSetState() fixed it! You guys rock!

Try creating a GUI using the GUIWizard first, then modify the script to do whatever you want it to do. At least you know the GUI works.
