Need help make a Gui Interface

[djinius]

Hi,

I'd need a little help making a GUI interface autoscript...

I would basically like to make an app that Generates "an imaginary identification" by reading a bank list from a ".ini" file....

So I would need a GUI interface where there are fields for first name,last name,age,sex,birthday... etc...

Each value that would be rendered randomnly into these field would be drawn from a "databank, or word bank" stored in a .ini file I would create my self...

Afterwords, once all the data is generated, I would like to be able to save the generated "profile or imaginary identification" into a new ".ini" file.

I would also like to be able to use that same application to open these "generated profiles"... In other words, I would like my program to be able to generate profiles, that can be save into .ini files, and also be able to open already written profiles... I'd have more specifications eventually... but I would really need someone to help me out getting started... Any tips, suggestions would be highly appreciated ! Thank you very much for your time and help !!

Use Koda that is installed with AutoIt to create the GUI. Just add the input controls to the GUI and write the functions.

There is a lot of info in the help file about working with GUI's. Once you show that you have made an effort then you can expect more help, but don't expect someone to write it for you.

ohh I wasn't expecting anyone at all to do it for me... I just really needed someone to give a me a few pointers because I have no idea where to start from... That Koda Designer is great ! Thanks for letting me know about that....

Now i just started putting my fields...

Ok so i'm just starting... I added a few fields, made a tab controls for the "Generate" section and the "read" section... How do I add values to a combo box ?

If you read the help file for GuiCtrlCreateCombo(), you'll find this

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI combo") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateCombo ("item1", 10,10); create first item
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"item2|item3","item3"); add other item snd set a new default

GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10,10,100,20)

$def_value = "Data2"

GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Data1|Data2|Data3|Data4", $def_value)

$def_value = "Data2"

GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Data1|Data2|Data3|Data4", $def_value)

I'm using Koda FormDesigner... is there a way to see the code using the program,?

Just use Koda to create and position all the controls. Go back later and add the Data using the method I showed you. Koda is a Form Designer, not a script writer.
