Looping the GUI... :(

[PreludeOfDeath]

So when I click 'Add Account' it runs my AddAccountGUI right?

When I click 'SAVE' in my AddAccountGUI, it closes, and goes back to the MainGUI (Which never disappears)...

Now I want to click on another function (like 'Add Account' again)

How do I reactivate or keep the 'WHILE' active?

Please Help. Thank You!

EDIT:

Deleted my New post, figured that out

Yey, another problem!

I have 2 combo boxes...

One box has predefined values

The other has values that are based on what is selected on the first one.

So If i select 'Peanut Butter' on the first one, the second one displays 'Jelly' and 'Honey'

But if i select 'Turkey' on the first one, the second one displays 'Mayo' and 'Lettuce'

(Those are just Examples BTW)

I cant get the 2nd one to update when they select the first one...

I figured i could do this:

While 1
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $nMsg = $charType
                                                                If $charType = GUICtrlRead($charClass) = "Peanut Butter" Then
                    GUICtrlSetData($charType, "Jelly|Honey|Other")

But that doesnt seem to work...

Is there something else that I need to do?

Plz Help! Thank You for putting up with me!

Something like this I suppose:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Form1", 208, 97, 231, 172)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Peanut Butter", 18, 16, 173, 125)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Turkey","Peanut Butter")
$Combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 18, 54, 173, 125)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Jelly|Honey","Jelly")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Combo1
            $Type=GUICtrlRead($Combo1)
            Switch $Type
                Case "Peanut Butter"
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo2,"")
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo2,"Jelly|Honey","Jelly")
                Case "Turkey"
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo2,"")
                    GUICtrlSetData($Combo2,"Mayo|Lettuce","Mayo")
            EndSwitch           
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That may work all i changed was GuiCtrlRead( $Combo1) to GuiCtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($Combo1))

Sometimes you have to call the ctrl read function like that, ex. Listview

What? That doesn't work dude The one I posted works just fine. GuiCtrlRead($Combo1) will return a string: either "Peanut butter" or "Turkey", so you say this is right?:

GuiCtrlRead("Peanut Butter")

[smashly]

hat may work all i changed was GuiCtrlRead( $Combo1) to GuiCtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($Combo1))

That isn't needed..

When you do GuiCtrlRead(GuiCtrlRead($Listview), 1) would be because :

GuiCtrlRead($Listview) would return the (controlID) of the selected ListViewItem

GuiCtrlRead(GuiCtrlRead($Listview)) would return the State of the TreeViewItem..

GuiCtrlRead(GuiCtrlRead($Listview), 1) would return the The text of the TreeViewItem..

In the case of a combobox then

GUICtrlRead($Combo1) would return The value selected

GuiCtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($Combo1)) would return 0

Thank you! That works great!

Exactly what I was looking for...

All I need now is how to loop my GUI...

[Guest BillBeavis]

Is there any reason you are not using the OnEvent stuff? I've switch my GUI's from the method you use to OnEvents, seems to run "smoother" and the GUI is more responsive.

[PreludeOfDeath]

Cause I dont know how to properly use them!

I will look into it on the good-ole' help file....

Thanks!
