I think that I fried a brain cell

[Wolffe]

But I can't seem to get this figured out. Here is what I am trying (unsuccessfully) to do. I am trying to have a gui with a bunch of checkboxes come up with an 'install checked' button at the bottom. What I would like to have happen, would be, you choose which items you would like to install by using the checkboxes and when you click the install checked button it installs those particular features. Now, I am still in the begining stage where I am trying to get the gui part to work. And at least recognize which boxes are checked. I did do a search through the forum and found some interesting/handy ideas. And I think that screwed me up more as I tried to figure out how to integrate them. Anyway, any ideas would be handy.

But I can't seem to get this figured out. Here is what I am trying (unsuccessfully) to do. I am trying to have a gui with a bunch of checkboxes come up with an 'install checked' button at the bottom.

I think you got your process backwards. Your 'go' button, labeled "Install Checked" has an event tagged to it to call the function OK(), which doesn't exist. Your checkboxes have events attached to them, when they don't need any. The idea would be to:

1. Create the GUI (with event mode enabled, you didn't)

2. Show the GUI (I didn't see an GuiSetState() in there)

3. Loop waiting for the button to get clicked, which calls the OK() function

4. Have the OK() function check the state of the checkboxes and act accordingly

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the help. I seem to have it working. It might not be pretty but it seems to work. :-) Thanks again!
