_WaitButton

[broodplank]

This udf creates a button that count from whatever you want to 1 and then enables the button (could be useful for trials to let the ppl wait some sec )

Usage:

_WaitButton($text, $left, $top, $width, $height, $time)

Example:

_WaitButton("Try", 5, 5, 60, 20, 10)

UDF:

;BY BROODPLANK
Func _WaitButton($text, $left, $top, $width, $height, $time)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton($text, $left, $top, $width, $height, $WS_DISABLED)
$i = $time + 1
Do
    $i -= 1
    GUICtrlSetData($button, $i, $i)
    sleep(1000)

    if $i =  1 then 
        GUICtrlSetData($button, $text)
        GUICtrlSetStyle($button, "")
    EndIf

Until $i = 1
EndFunc

Working Example:

#include <Guiconstants.au3>
$button = ""

GUICreate("WAITBUTTON TEST", 200, 50)

GUISetState()

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please wait until you can use this trial", 5, 5)

_WaitButton("Try", 5, 25, 60, 20, 10)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    if $msg = $gui_event_close then Exit
    if $msg = $button then MsgBox(0, "WAITBUTTON", "You can now use this button")
WEnd

Func _WaitButton($text, $left, $top, $width, $height, $time)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton($text, $left, $top, $width, $height, $WS_DISABLED)
$i = $time + 1
Do
    $i -= 1
    GUICtrlSetData($button, $i, $i)
    sleep(1000)

    if $i =  1 then 
        GUICtrlSetData($button, $text)
        GUICtrlSetStyle($button, "")
    EndIf

Until $i = 1
EndFunc

Simple, but I suppose this could be useful at some time.

Hi,

the Timer work by me not with autoit-v3.2.4.0 (Only with v3.2.2.0)

Can some one test this... THX

[mrbond007]

very usefull thanks

[James]

Cool! Nice way of doing some stuff. I had made one of these before but found no use to post it.

[poisonkiller]

Nice UDF, but could you change that Sleep(1000) function, cause it may stop some program actions.

[James]

That sleep() is there because it equals 1 second. So it will change the number every second

[Thunder-man]

The WaitButton works by my only on

autoit-v3.2.2.0

Not on V.

autoit-v3.2.4.1

autoit-v3.2.4.2

Wy this?
