bobbo Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 The Problem: My GUI runs fine on my computer, but not on another computer at work. The GUI is displayed but no buttons work. To be more specific, the two buttons I created do not run their functions, and the Close button (the X) Doesn't work. Strangely though, the minimize button does work. Notes: 1- The computer that the buttons don't work on does not have the full install of AutoIT, it only has the zip file extracted. Could this be part of the reason? Any registry keys that need to be created? 2- The script uses oneventmode,1 The Story: I am developing a script for a coworker to automate some simple tasks he performs here. Our computers are identical, except his has some software that I dont have. Also, I have autoit installed and he doesn't. Work computers require admin rights to run the installer, so I either have to get his software on my PC, or the autoit software to run on his PC to test and develop the script. Any help would be much appreciated and would save weeks of drone work!

bobbo Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Crystal ball not working on this computer. A Shortened script displaying the problem you are having would greatly help. There GUI just reads a notepad file containing names, one name per line, and splits them into first and last names. expandcollapse popup#include <File.au3> #include <array.au3> #include <IE.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <GuiList.au3> #include <String.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> global $sourcefile=@scriptdir&"\sourcenames.txt" $handle=fileopen($sourcefile,1) fileclose($handle) ShellExecute($sourcefile) global $title="sourcenames.txt - Notepad" $MainGuiForm = GUICreate("Bobbys ACS Flagging Script", 500, 300, 198, 134,-1) Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) opt("GUICoordMode",0) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "MainGuiFormClose") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "MainGuiFormMinimize") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE, "MainGuiFormMaximize") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "MainGuiFormRestore") global $parsednamelist=GUICtrlCreateListView("First |Last ", 0, 25, 200, 200) global $gobutton=guictrlcreatebutton("Split Names",0,210,80,15) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "nameparser") guictrlcreatelabel("Dealer",210,-210,250,15) global $note=GUICtrlCreateInput("",0,15,250,50) guictrlcreatelabel("Note",0,55,250,15) global $dealer=GUICtrlCreateInput("",0,15,250,50) guictrlcreatelabel("Other",0,55,250,15) global $other=GUICtrlCreateInput("",0,15,250,50) global $gobutton=GUICtrlCreateButton("Go",0,60,50,40) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"go") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func MainGuiFormClose() Exit EndFunc Func MainGuiFormMaximize() winsetstate("Bobbys ACS Flagging Script","",@SW_MAXIMIZE) EndFunc Func MainGuiFormMinimize() winsetstate("Bobbys ACS Flagging Script","",@SW_MINIMIZE) EndFunc Func MainGuiFormRestore() winsetstate("Bobbys ACS Flagging Script","",@SW_RESTORE) EndFunc func nameparser() WinActivate($title) WinWaitActive($title) send("^s") winclose($title) winwaitclose($title) sleep(500) global $namesarray if _FileReadToArray($sourcefile,$namesarray) Then for $i=1 to $namesarray[0] $name=StringRegExpReplace($namesarray[$i],"(, )|( )","|") _guictrllistviewinsertitem($parsednamelist,$i-1,$name) Next EndIf EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryFrost Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 There might be better ways to get the data, might think about going to the latest beta, the functions have been changed/improved and many more functions added. Would think about using the GUIEdit_xxxxx functions to get the data from notepad would be no need to save to file then. I'm sure there are probably other things that could be done that users will suggest/show.

BTW I am using the latest beta.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second computer had windows hiding extensions, so "sourcenames.txt - Notepad" appears as "sourcenames - Notepad." The script was simply sleeping for a winwaitactive() where the title was wrong!The script is working great now. I really appreciate your responses; hopefully I'll be able to return the favor sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
