DropDown List Variable

surreal · October 4, 2007

alight, below is the simple sample code. what i need to do now is create some kind of variable i think. i have search for examples through the forum and was not able to find anything. thanks everyone for your help with this...

what i would like to happen is the following:

a tech enters the username

then chooses desktop or laptop within the dropdown list

if desktop is select then only hp and dell will be listed within make, and then all three for laptop

if laptop - dell - is selected i would like to only list the models for the machine that we have in inventory for the type and make.

then the tech will enter the asset info

code:

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form2 = GUICreate("Asset Info", 304, 210, 213, 133)

$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group1", 16, 16, 265, 153)

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 32, 40, 55, 17)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 40, 177, 21)

$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hardware Type:", 32, 72, 80, 17)

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 120, 72, 145, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Desktop|Latop", "")

$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Make:", 32, 104, 34, 17)

$Combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 104, 65, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"HP|DELL|IBM", "")

$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Model:", 144, 104, 36, 17)

$Combo3 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 184, 104, 81, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"GX280|GX280|GX520|GX745", "")

$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Asset:", 32, 136, 33, 17)

$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 136, 193, 21)

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 104, 176, 75, 25, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

EndSwitch

WEnd

One way of doing it. This has been tested and works. You should be able to take it from there.

surreal · October 4, 2007

thank you very much for the quick responses, i will give this a go, and let ya know. i want this to do a few other things, but once im done i will post the code for anyone to use...

Tasmania · October 4, 2007

Hehe no problem

surreal · October 4, 2007

your part did work, lol. but when i tried to add the extra layers it does not, i have tried different syntax but so far no outcome. i just found out we dont have to worry about hp, so this should be alittle easier. thanks again for the help.

new code:

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form2 = GUICreate("Asset Info", 304, 210, 213, 133)

$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group1", 16, 16, 265, 153)

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 32, 40, 55, 17)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 40, 177, 21)

$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hardware Type:", 32, 72, 80, 17)

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 120, 72, 145, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Desktop|Laptop", "")

$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Make:", 32, 104, 34, 17)

$Combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 104, 65, 25)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,"", "")

Change your code to reflect this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form2 = GUICreate("Asset Info", 304, 210, 213, 133)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group1", 16, 16, 265, 153)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 32, 40, 55, 17)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 40, 177, 21)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hardware Type:", 32, 72, 80, 17)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 120, 72, 145, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Desktop|Laptop", "")
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Make:", 32, 104, 34, 17)
$Combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 72, 104, 65, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"", "")
$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Model:", 144, 104, 36, 17)
$Combo3 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 184, 104, 81, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"", "")
$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Asset:", 32, 136, 33, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 136, 193, 21)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 104, 176, 75, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
  $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

  Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit

    Case $Combo1
      If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Desktop" Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "DELL")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "GX280|GX280|GX520|GX745")
      Else
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo1, "Laptop")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "DELL|IBM")

        If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Laptop" And GUICtrlRead($Combo2) = "IBM" Then
          GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "T42|T43")
        ElseIf GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Laptop" And GUICtrlRead($Combo2) = "DELL" Then
          GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "D600|D610|D620")
        EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

P.S. Indenting is always a favorable thing to do, as well as changing the default names of the variables.

thank you, from the looks of the new code that make sense, but it is not working for me. there are two issues...

1. i get an error when running the new code "43) : ==> "EndSwitch" statement with no matching "Switch" statement.: EndSwitch" if i remove the new code its fine.

2. i think i have had this problem sense the beginning. if i choose laptop them ibm, but then change my mind and go back and choose desktop everything in all fields are listed twice, sometimes even more. example would be DELL,DELL,IBM,DELL,IBM in the make dropdown.

thanks again everyone. you have been alot of help.

1. There's and EndIf missing...

Case $Combo1
      If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Desktop" Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "DELL")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "GX280|GX280|GX520|GX745")
      Else
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo1, "Laptop")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "DELL|IBM")

        If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Laptop" And GUICtrlRead($Combo2) = "IBM" Then
          GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "T42|T43")
        ElseIf GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Laptop" And GUICtrlRead($Combo2) = "DELL" Then
          GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "D600|D610|D620")
        EndIf
      EndIf ; <---missing
    EndSwitch

2. clear the combobox of all data before adding data to it again... eg: GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "","")

Cheers

that did the trick, thanks. sorry but i dont get the second part, where would i enter that code? or are you suggesting i make an extra button that clears the fields? i would rather not go that route if i dont have to. it seems that all the fields save the data, so it get pretty messy if you go back and change your selection.

d@ve

smashly · October 5, 2007

No . I'm suggesting to clear a combo box before adding data to it...eg:

Case $Combo1
      If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) = "Desktop" Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "", "")  
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, "DELL")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "", "")
        GUICtrlSetData($Combo3, "GX280|GX280|GX520|GX745")oÝ÷ Ø:-+0ØZ'(º£¬ê®·Â§¶¢fènb²
