you have errors

msgbox (0,"debug","file now is" $file )

should be

msgbox (0,"debug","file now is " & $file )

2

you are using the wrong message box... there is no cancel button

.........

So, take a look at

SiTE > Tools > CodeWizard

it will make the message boxes for you...

also

i would use

FileOpenDialog ( "title", "init dir", "filter" [, options [, "default name"]] )

to get the file... not the InputBox you made

check out in the help file:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)

and

GUICtrlSetOnEvent()

i personally prefer event mode versus message loop mode, but that's just me... in the 'gui reference' category of the help file, there are examples for using such controls regardless of which behavior you prefer.

sorry, i've been busy with work stuff for a few weeks, so i'm trying to catch up on my 'helping people' quota. i did refrain from writing out new examples myself though....

this is my code

expandcollapse popup

#region --- GuiBuilder code Start ---
; Script generated by AutoBuilder 0.6 Prototype

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 314, 237,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$destination = @TempDir & "\guipick.gif"
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Dakota\Desktop\pick\guipick.gif", $destination)
;$Input_1 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("Input1", 10, 170, 280, 20)
;$Label_2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Path and FileName (include extention)", 10, 150, 200, 20)
$Button_3 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Open Log", 120, 200, 80, 30)
$filec = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Change File", 20, 200, 80, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(1, "changefile")
$Pic_5 = GuiCtrlCreatePic("guipick.gif", 10, 20, 280, 120)
$done = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Done", 220, 200, 70, 30)

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
    ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit
#endregion --- GuiBuilder generated code End ---

func changefile()
#Region --- CodeWizard generated code Start ---

;InputBox features: Title=Yes, Prompt=Yes, Default Text=Yes, Width=500, Height=130
If Not IsDeclared("sInputBoxAnswer") Then Dim $sInputBoxAnswer
$sInputBoxAnswer = InputBox("gui","Path and file name to log file:",$file," ","500","130","-1","-1")
Select
   Case @Error = 0;OK - The string returned is valid
$file = $sInputBoxAnswer
msgbox (0,"debug","file now is" & $file )
   Case @Error = 1;The Cancel button was pushed

   Case @Error = 3;The InputBox failed to open

EndSelect
#EndRegion --- CodeWizard generated code End ---
endfunc

what is wrong with my button when i press it it does nothing????

[Valuater]

remove this

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(1, "changefile")

(that is for on event mode search help for "opt")

then place it in the while loop

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $filec
        changefile()
    Case Else
   ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

do the other buttons the same way
