I'm relatively new to autoit but have some background in coding with C++, I was wondering about the GUI command guictrlcreatebutton.

If I create a button and want to have my script do something once that button has been pushed how do I find out when the button has been pushed.

all I have is guictrlcreatebutton("Click Here To Continue", 10, 330, 100, 30)

what I'm asking for I guess is how do I obtain the a return value from the button?

any suggestions?

GUIGetMsg()

Here is the example from the help file:

Example

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Example - Press the button to see the value of the radio boxes
; The script also detects state changes (closed/minimized/timeouts, etc).

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("GUICoordMode", 1)
GUICreate("Radio Box Demo", 400,280)

; Create the controls
$button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("B&utton 1", 30, 20, 120, 40)
$group_1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup ("Group 1", 30, 90, 165, 160)
GUIStartGroup()
$radio_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &0", 50, 120, 70, 20)
$radio_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &1", 50, 150, 60, 20)
$radio_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Radio &2", 50, 180, 60, 20)

; Init our vars that we will use to keep track of GUI events
$radioval1 = 0    ; We will assume 0 = first radio button selected, 2 = last button
$radioval2 = 2

; Show the GUI
GUISetState ()

; In this message loop we use variables to keep track of changes to the radios, another
; way would be to use GUICtrlRead() at the end to read in the state of each control
While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
       Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         MsgBox(0, "", "Dialog was closed") 
         Exit
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
         MsgBox(0,"", "Dialog minimized",2)
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
         MsgBox(0,"", "Dialog restored",2)
   
      Case $msg = $button_1
         MsgBox(0, "Default button clicked", "Radio " & $radioval1 )
         
      Case $msg >= $radio_1 AND $msg <= $radio_3
         $radioval1 = $msg - $radio_1

   EndSelect
WEnd

that really doesn't help all that much...i looked at the help files and they dont help...

i was kinda hoping someone could write a sample line of code for me...

i have:

guictrlcreatebutton("Click Here To Continue", 10, 330, 100, 30)

if ( "the button is clicked" ) then GUICtrlCreatePic("picture.jpg", 120 , 10 , 370 , 480)

endif

i just need to know how to set up "the button is clicked"

i tried setting:

$button=guictrlcreatebutton("Click Here To Continue", 10, 330, 100, 30)

if ( $button=1 ) then GUICtrlCreatePic("picture.jpg", 120 , 10 , 370 , 480)

endif

but my picture never comes up...

any real help?

Posting code always helps. This is why:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$mainGUI = GUICreate("This is a GUI")
$button=guictrlcreatebutton("Click Here To Continue", 10, 20, 200, 30)
GUISetState();this makes the actual change to the GUI, without this, you won't see anything

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $button  Then
        GUICtrlCreatePic("picture.jpg", 50 , 20 , 370 , 480)
        GUISetState();this makes the actual change to the GUI
    ElseIf $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exitloop;You can also use Exit to directly close the script from here, but if you use exitloop it will execute stuff after the Wend
    EndIF
;Keywords in autoit and other visual basic scripting languages can be in capitol letters, unlike c++
Wend

#include <GUIConstants.au3>;this allows all the GUI functions to be run

GUICreate("RADS WINDOW",128,128)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("RADS BUTTON",2,2,124,124)
GUISetState()

While 1;This is your infinite loop, once this stops your script will close
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg() 
;this is like your "triggering event" if you've played warcraft 3 and made a map ^_^
    
    If $msg = $Button Then msgbox(0,"title","You pushed the button, RADS BUTTON! Its not yours!") 
; if (trigger) is (button) then show a MSGBOX... which you can switch with your GUICtrlCreatePic() etc...!
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    ;GUI_EVENT_CLOSE is when you press the X, or terminate the program in some other way...
WEnd

Exit;closes your script when While 1 is exited.

Read the comments, and ill tell you right now if you havent already, use the helpfile for extra functions and methods... and i recommend you use SciTE for editing scrpts, it lets you beta run and compile and other neat stuff easy:
