Is it possible to have the dispaly text change what it inputs?

[schilbiz]

How could this be possible?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI",310,225)

$I_Machine = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10,10,100,120)


$list = GUICtrlCreateList("",200,10,100)
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Bob")
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Mary")
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Dole")

$selectbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Select Username", 200,120,100)
$Text = GUICtrlCreateLabel("When you have a username selected and you hit Select Username, "& _
         "I want predetermined text to appear in the left box to be something other than what is selected." & _
         "So like User Bob would input his computer name Bobs PC instead of User Bob.", 5, 150, 300, 64)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    $one = GUICtrlRead ($list)
    If $msg = $selectbutton Then
        GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine , "")
        GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine ,$one)
    EndIf
Wend

I'm not fully understanding what you are asking. If you want the user to input data then when clicking the btn go to a inputbox. But if you just need to use some preset text based on the name you would need to set it up in variable. What are you looking for in the end?

Preset text based on the name setup in the variable is exactly what I am looking for. I was having a hard time trying to describe it.

Obviously this isn't the cleanest code, but the idea your looking for is something like this. The output could be in a variable ahead of time, or read from a file etc.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI",310,225)

$I_Machine = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10,10,100,120)


$list = GUICtrlCreateList("",200,10,100)
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Bob")
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Mary")
GUICtrlSetData($list, "User Dole")

$selectbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Select Username", 200,120,100)
$Text = GUICtrlCreateLabel("When you have a username selected and you hit Select Username, "& _
         "I want predetermined text to appear in the left box to be something other than what is selected." & _
         "So like User Bob would input his computer name Bobs PC instead of User Bob.", 5, 150, 300, 64)
GUISetState()

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    $one = GUICtrlRead ($list)
    If $msg = $selectbutton Then
        GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine , "")
    if $one = "User Bob" Then GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine ,"Bob's PC")
    if $one = "User Mary" Then GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine ,"Mary's PC")
    if $one = "User Dole" Then GUICtrlSetData ($I_Machine ,"Dole's PC")
        
    EndIf
Wend

Hey thanks stampy! It works for what I need it for and gives me some ideas on new things to try. I appreciate it.
