For loop problem...

[Jester009 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to do the following but I can't get it working

There are three buttons in my gui. When the 1st button is pressed I want to start a loop. Inside the loop when the 2nd button is pressed I want to execute a certain piece of code and when the 3rd button is pressed I need to execute another piece of code.

But I'm unable to get this working Can anybody help me with this? Example would be really helpful.. I'm kinda new to Autoit

Thanks

For trouble shooting....Post your existing code.

This is a messy way of doing it.

GuiCreate('Testing', 300, 100) 

$buttonOne = GuiCtrlCreateButton('First', 0, 0, 100, 30) 
$buttonTwo = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Second', 100, 0, 100, 30) 
$buttonThree = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Third', 200, 0, 100, 30) 

GuiSetState() 

While 1 
    Switch GuiGetMsg() 
        Case $buttonOne 
            GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 0, 35)
            
            While 1 
                Switch GuiGetMsg() 
                    Case $buttonTwo 
                        GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 100, 35)
                        
                        While 1 
                            Switch GuiGetMsg() 
                                Case $buttonThree 
                                    GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 200, 35) 
                                    Sleep(1000) 
                                    Exit
                                Case -3 
                                    Exit
                            EndSwitch 
                        WEnd 
                    Case -3 
                        Exit
                EndSwitch 
            WEnd 
        Case -3 
            Exit
    EndSwitch 
WEnd

This is how I would to it

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GuiCreate('Testing', 300, 100) 

$buttonOne = GuiCtrlCreateButton('First', 0, 0, 100, 30) 
$buttonTwo = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Second', 100, 0, 100, 30) 
    GuiCtrlSetState($buttonTwo, $GUI_DISABLE)
$buttonThree = GuiCtrlCreateButton('Third', 200, 0, 100, 30) 
    GuiCtrlSetState($buttonThree, $GUI_DISABLE)

GuiSetState() 

While 1 
    Switch GuiGetMsg() 
        Case $buttonOne 
            GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 0, 35)
            GuiCtrlSetState($buttonTwo, $GUI_ENABLE)
            GuiCtrlSetState($buttonOne, $GUI_DISABLE)
        Case $buttonTwo 
            GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 100, 35)
            GuiCtrlSetState($buttonTwo, $GUI_DISABLE)
            GuiCtrlSetState($buttonThree, $GUI_ENABLE)
        Case $buttonThree 
            GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Here', 200, 35) 
            GuiCtrlSetState($buttonThree, $GUI_DISABLE)
            Sleep(1000) 
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
            Exit
    EndSwitch 
WEnd

This the code...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 392, 132, 193, 120)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 48, 48, 57, 25, 0)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 160, 48, 65, 25, 0)
    GUICtrlSetState($Button2, $GUI_DISABLE)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button3", 280, 48, 65, 25, 0)
    GUICtrlSetState($Button3, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    if $msg = $Button1 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Test", "Button1 pressed")
        GUICtrlSetState($Button2, $GUI_ENABLE)
        GUICtrlSetState($Button1, $GUI_DISABLE)
        For $i = 1 to 5
            MsgBox(0, "Test", "About to press Button2")
            If $msg = $Button2 Then
                MsgBox(0, "Test", "Button2 pressed")
                GUICtrlSetState($Button3, $GUI_ENABLE)
                GUICtrlSetState($Button2, $GUI_DISABLE)
            EndIf
            If $msg = $Button3 Then
                MsgBox(0, "Test", "Button3 pressed")
            EndIf
        Next
        EndIf
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Your really cant use a forloop, you will need to use either while or do loop.
