GUI Checkbox Help

[FallenAngel617]

Ok, i am still new to Auto It, so i need some help.

Click a checkbox, then it will enable something when marked when you click "Ok".

Example:

Checkbox one is checked: 1

Checkbox two is checked: 2

Checkbox three isn't checked: 0

Checkbox four is checked: 4

so the code would be 1204 right?

so then i want the #'s to represent words, for example..

0 = (space)

1 = checkbox 1 has been checked,

2 = checkbox 2 has been checked,

3 = checkbox 3 has been checked,

4 = checkbox 4 has been checked,

so it would turn out to be...

"checkbox 1 has been checked,checkbox 2 has been checked, checkbox 4 has been checked,"

you know?

so once the checkmarks are checked, and the 0/1/2/3/4 codes are set, you press "Ok" and it will save those settings.

so now when you... press a button, it types what you saved under the check boxes.

anyone can help me do this, or help me convert what i just said into english? cause it REALLY hard for me to explain how i want this.

THANKS in advance!

I'm not sure I can fully understand what are you asking but I'll try to give you an example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 147, 152, 193, 115)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox1", 10, 16, 121, 17)
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox2", 10, 36, 121, 17)
$Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox3", 10, 57, 121, 17)
$Checkbox4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox4", 10, 76, 121, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 16, 112, 113, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            GetCheckboxes()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func GetCheckboxes()
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string1 = "ACheckbox1: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string1 = "ACheckbox1: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox2) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string2 = "ACheckbox2: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string2 = "ACheckbox2: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox3) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string3 = "ACheckbox3: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string3 = "ACheckbox3: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox4) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string4 = "ACheckbox4: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string4 = "ACheckbox4: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    $message_to_show = "Status: "&@CRLF&$display_string1&@CRLF&$display_string2&@CRLF&$display_string3&@CRLF&$display_string4
    MsgBox (0, "Checkbox Status:", $message_to_show)
EndFunc

The script can be made shorter but I deliberately used this way to make the script easier to understand.

Hope it answers your question.

Hello, thank you for the fast respond.

but i got a few errors in it. One was from the missing "Select", and another said it was missing a "While"

how could you fix this, its somewhere in here:

While 1

    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            GetCheckboxes()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanks

What version of AutoIt are you running? It is the latest one (3.2.4.9)?

Are you using SciTE?

Did you copy everything in the code box? I guess you have noticed that you need to scroll a little bit down to get all the code.

Try again to copy the following code (removed the autoit tags).

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 147, 152, 193, 115)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox1", 10, 16, 121, 17)
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox2", 10, 36, 121, 17)
$Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox3", 10, 57, 121, 17)
$Checkbox4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("ACheckbox4", 10, 76, 121, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 16, 112, 113, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            GetCheckboxes()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func GetCheckboxes()
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string1 = "ACheckbox1: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string1 = "ACheckbox1: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox2) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string2 = "ACheckbox2: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string2 = "ACheckbox2: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox3) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string3 = "ACheckbox3: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string3 = "ACheckbox3: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    If GUICtrlRead($Checkbox4) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
        $display_string4 = "ACheckbox4: CHECKED"
    Else
        $display_string4 = "ACheckbox4: UNCHECKED"
    EndIf
    $message_to_show = "Status: "&@CRLF&$display_string1&@CRLF&$display_string2&@CRLF&$display_string3&@CRLF&$display_string4
    MsgBox (0, "Checkbox Status:", $message_to_show)
