Quick GUI Question

[Clipper34]

Hey guys, i've started on a little project over the month and you can ping different addresses and some TCP options. And you view them in a large list. But the problem i'm having is how can you append more pings to the list you have created in the GUI, here's the code i'm working on currently:

expandcollapse popup

;Varible to tcp connect
$connect = @LogonServer

;First ping
$ping = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the desired hostname:")
$ping1 = Ping($ping)

If @error Then
MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf

;Second ping
$ping2 = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the 2nd desired hostname:")
$ping3 = Ping($ping2)

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf

;Third ping
$ping4 = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the 3rd desired hostname:")
$ping5 = Ping($ping4)
;If no input in the input box a mesage shows
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf
;Set the 'exit' part
If $ping = "exit" Then
    Exit
EndIf

;Include the Constants
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
;Create the GUI
GUICreate("Ping Check Pro")
;Set the icon
GUISetIcon(@Systemdir, "cmd.exe")

;List showing the Pings
$listView = GuiCtrlCreateListView("Ping", 1, 15, 200, 200)
GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem($ping1, $listView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($ping3, $listview)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($ping5, $listview)

;List showing TCP connections
$tcp = GUICtrlCreateListView("TCP Connected to", 200, 15, 200, 200)
$tcpitem = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($connect, $tcp)
;Create the file menu to quit
$quitmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Quit")
$quitmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Quit Ping Check Pro", $quitmenu)

;TCP options menu
$tcpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("TCP Options")
$tcpmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Connect", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Disconect", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Listen", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem3 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Accept", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem4 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Host Name to I.P. Address", $tcpmenu)

;Ping options
$pingmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Ping Options")
$pingmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Ping Defined Host", $pingmenu)
$pingmenuitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Set Pings", $pingmenu)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        
    ;First case
        Case $msg = $quitmenuitem
        Exit
        
    ;Second case
    Case $msg = $tcpmenuitem
        TCPConnect($connect, 80)
        $connect1 = InputBox("", "Type a Host Name to connect:")
TCPConnect($connect1, 80)

;Third case
Case $msg = $tcpmenuitem1
    TCPCloseSocket($connect)
    
;Fourth case
Case $msg = $tcpmenuitem2
    TCPListen($connect, 80)
    
;Fifth case
Case $msg = $tcpmenuitem3
    TCPAccept($connect)
    
;Sixth case
Case $msg = $tcpmenuitem4
    $ip = InputBox("", "Type a Host Name to convert to a I.P.")
    TCPNameToIP($ip)
    MsgBox(0, "", "The I.P. is:", $ip)
    
;Seventh case
Case $msg = $pingmenuitem
    $pingm = InputBox("", "Type a Host Name to ping:")
    Ping($pingm)
    MsgBox(0, "", "The Ping is:", $pingm
    
Case $msg = $pingmenuitem1
;First ping
$ping = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the desired hostname:")
$ping1 = Ping($ping)

If @error Then
MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf

;Second ping
$ping2 = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the 2nd desired hostname:")
$ping3 = Ping($ping2)

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf

;Third ping
$ping4 = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the 3rd desired hostname:")
$ping5 = Ping($ping4)
;If no input in the input box a mesage shows
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
EndIf
;Set the 'exit' part
If $ping = "exit" Then
    Exit
EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd

Any suggestions ideas? Thanks.

First: your script wasn't working - you had a syntax error. Please make sure that next time you post something won't have these minor errors.

Second: you need to work more on this script - to make the close button to work, and also you need to work on your last Case statement (where I've added a couple comments)

I have modified your script a little: at start it will prompt for a host until an empty string is found (nothing typed in the inputbox) and it will put every host in an array ($ping_it). You can see the limit of this array is 250 right now - you can modify that easily.

When nothing is entered in the input, the script will continue with the GUI part.

Here is the script:

expandcollapse popup

;Varible to tcp connect
$connect = @LogonServer

Global $j = 1
Global $ping_it[250]
Do 
    $ping = InputBox("Desired Host", "Type the desired hostname:")
    $ping_it [$j] = Ping($ping)

    If @error Then
        MsgBox(4096, "ERROR", "Please type a hostname to continue, if you wish to quit please type 'exit'")
    Else
        $j +=1
    EndIf
Until $ping = ""

;Set the 'exit' part
If $ping = "exit" Then
    Exit
EndIf

;Include the Constants
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
;Create the GUI
GUICreate("Ping Check Pro")
;Set the icon
GUISetIcon(@Systemdir, "cmd.exe")

;List showing the Pings
$listView = GuiCtrlCreateListView("Ping", 1, 15, 200, 200)
For $k = 1 To $j - 1
    GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem($ping_it[$k], $listView)
Next

;List showing TCP connections
$tcp = GUICtrlCreateListView("TCP Connected to", 200, 15, 200, 200)
$tcpitem = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($connect, $tcp)
;Create the file menu to quit
$quitmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Quit")
$quitmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Quit Ping Check Pro", $quitmenu)

;TCP options menu
$tcpmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("TCP Options")
$tcpmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Connect", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Disconect", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Listen", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem3 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Accept", $tcpmenu)
$tcpmenuitem4 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("TCP Host Name to I.P. Address", $tcpmenu)

$pingmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Ping Options")
$pingmenuitem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Ping Defined Host", $pingmenu)

Case $msg = $pingmenuitem1
    ;get the selected element from the list and ping that item
