radio buttons and filewritelog

[controlledchaos]

hi!

i have a script that records when a user logs in/out of an online class, and i was wondering how do i get which radio button was clicked to be recorded into the log file? the script records the students name, time and date but i have radio buttons that say entered or exited class and i wanted to have that info also record to the log file to show what the user did and when. any ideas?

thanks, melanie

ok did that and i gave it shot, but i dont think its working correctly. is there a way to assign a value to the radio button? not a number but an actual word. (this is for an online class and the radio buttons represent when a student enters or exits a class.)

i could post the entire script so u could see what im trying to do if u'd like?

heres my code for the guictrlread:

Case $msg = $radio1 And BitAND(GUICtrlRead($radio1), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
            ;MsgBox(64, 'Info:', 'You clicked the Radio 1 and it is Checked.')
            $radiovalue=GUICtrlRead($radio1)
    Case $msg = $radio2 And BitAND(GUICtrlRead($radio2), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
            ;MsgBox(64, 'Info:', 'You clicked on Radio 2 and it is Checked.')
            $radiovalue=GUICtrlRead($radio2)

u see anyting wrong?

thanks!!

Look at the example for it again.. you are not understanding what GUICtrlRead is giving you.

no its ok. i understand completely and agree. you are right tho, i am not understanding what GUICtrlRead is giving me. could you shed some light on it for me? i read the help file on it and still not really sure.

thanks

<edit>ah ha! i see its returing the value of the radio, checked or unchecked. so yeah, i dont think a radio is going to work for this. i will try a combo/drop down list.

You gave up too quickly

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUICtrlRead") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$menu1  = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")

$n1     = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Alpha", 10, 10,80)
$n1_a   = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Bravo", 90, 10,80)
$n2     = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read", 10, 100, 50)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS) ; the focus is on this button

GUISetState () ; will display an empty dialog box
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    if $msg = $n2 Then
        $n1state = GUICtrlRead($n1) ; return the state of $n1
        $n1_a_state = GUICtrlRead($n1_a) ; return the state of $n1_a
        ;MsgBox(4096,"","$n1state: " & $n1state & @CRLF & "$n1_a_state: " & $n1_a_state)
        If $n1state = $GUI_CHECKED  Then MsgBox(4096,"",GUICtrlRead($n1,1) & " is checked")
        If $n1_a_state = $GUI_CHECKED  Then MsgBox(4096,"",GUICtrlRead($n1_a,1) & " is checked")
    EndIf
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
