Can Someone help me with this?

[LiLShinta]

First of all, I am noob. Ive been using and trying to understand autoIT for3 days. now my problem is on the GUI. For example, i want to have a list of names with surnames on another input box in which the input data will be transfered to the notepad after pressing save. how can it be? i also created a form of it. can you please help me to make a script for this.

oh i forgot to say that there is also a checkbox located beside each of the names. can someone help me generate a script for this? the check box will make each box enable and if there is a check in checkbox, it will only mean that the data input will be copied in notepad. tnx.

Welcome to AutoIt forums

To read the text in an edit use GuiCtrlRead. Also use GuiCtrlRead to get the state of the checkboxes.

To send the text to Notepad first set Notepad active, or focused, using WInActivate("Untitled") or whatever the title in Notepad is, then use Send to send the text to it.

expandcollapse popup

WinActiveate("Untitled");assuming it's already running!
if BitAnd(GuiCtrlRead($chk1),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED then
  $ip1text = GuiCtrlRead($ip1) 
  Send($ip1text)
endif

if BitAnd(GuiCtrlRead($chk2),$GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED then
$ip2text =...etc

You could write the text to a file using FileWriteLine rather than send ot to Notepad.
You would be able to save a lot of code if you used arrays for your controls and maybe you have, but first things first.

            As martin pointed out, make sure that the notepad window has been activated then you can use
If GUICtrlRead($Chk1) = 1 Then
   $oTxt = GUICtrlRead($ip1) & " " & GUICtrlRead($Ip2) & @CRLF
   Send($oTxt)
EndIf

$oTxt = GUICtrlRead($ip1) & " " & GUICtrlRead($Ip2) & @CRLF

[SmOke_N]

$oTxt = GUICtrlRead($ip1) & " " & GUICtrlRead($Ip2) & @CRLF

can i ask, what is ' & "" & 'for?

& is used to concatenate strings.

Example:

Dim $sPhraseOne = "Welcome"
Dim $sPhraseTwo = " To "
Dim $sPhraseThree = "AutoIt"
MsgBox(64, "Info", $sPhraseOne & $sPhraseTwo & $sPhraseThree)

Hi, problem is in checkboxes

Just replace this code with your 8,9,10,11,12 lines

$Chk1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 264, 48, 17, 17, BitOR($BS_CHECKBOX,$BS_AUTOCHECKBOX,$BS_LEFT,$WS_TABSTOP))

$Chk2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 264, 80, 17, 17, BitOR($BS_CHECKBOX,$BS_AUTOCHECKBOX,$BS_LEFT,$WS_TABSTOP))

$Chk3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 264, 112, 17, 17, BitOR($BS_CHECKBOX,$BS_AUTOCHECKBOX,$BS_LEFT,$WS_TABSTOP))

$Chk4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 264, 144, 17, 17, BitOR($BS_CHECKBOX,$BS_AUTOCHECKBOX,$BS_LEFT,$WS_TABSTOP))

$Chk5 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 264, 176, 17, 17, BitOR($BS_CHECKBOX,$BS_AUTOCHECKBOX,$BS_LEFT,$WS_TABSTOP))
