Need help in Auto GUI program

[markdui]

Hi i being trying to write a program to try out Autoit GUI but got stuck soon after. Had try reading the help but to no available solution. Hope someone can help me out on this little project of mine.

My Project.

Create a simple windows application with

A button

Input box and

Output box

HOw it work

The button will call a batch file (command in batch file - ping.exe), grap the input from inputbox. process the command and sent output to outputbox

button - ping.exe

inputbox - hostname (user will type in a hostname)

outputbox - display ping result

My code

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125)

$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 40, 200, 401, 177)

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 40, 56, 185, 49, 0)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 248, 56, 169, 21)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $Button1

;$foo =

;Runwait("ipconfig.bat", "C:\Work\Others\AutoitScript", @SW_HIDE)

Runwait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ipconfig.bat', "C:\Work\Others\AutoitScript", @SW_MINIMIZE)

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "You clicked CLOSE! Exiting...")

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

While 1

$line = StdoutRead($foo)

If @error Then ExitLoop

MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)

Wend

Several points to make:

Have a look at _RunDos()

and StdoutRead()

Also, AutoIt has an inbuilt Ping function (though you may be after all of the details of the ping response).

$hostname = Inputbox("Hostname", "Which computer would you like to ping?")
$response = Ping($hostname, 250)
If $response Then; also possible:  If @error = 0 Then ...
    Msgbox(0,"Status","Online, roundtrip was:" & $response & " ms")
Else
    Msgbox(0,"Status","An error occured with number: " & @error)
EndIf
