Please help me figure this out

[dickep]

Hi,

Now I m new to GUI stuff, so please be kind. I also know that possibly my lgic is not on track.

I have an application in Autoit that I want to log/show some data (in this case, just incrementing a counter). I want it to start with a click of Button1 and stop with a click of Button2.

1- I can't get that to happen.

Now, if the process is stopped, I then want it to start again from where it left off, clearing the edit box window of data and dislpaying new data.

2- not working because of #1 above not yet working.

Any help, hints, tips, tricks, etc., are greatly appreciated.

Code attached for my example.

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Global $s = 1
global $something

Global Const $SB_SCROLLCARET = 0xB7

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 301, 301, 193, 125)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 32, 216, 75, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "Button1Click")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 160, 216, 75, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "Button2Click")
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 176, 40, 97, 137)
GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, "Edit1")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Edit1, "Edit1Change")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Button1Click()
    $something = 1
    _DoSomething()
EndFunc

Func Button2Click()
    MsgBox(0,"MESSAGE","$something = " & $something)
    $something = 0
EndFunc


Func _DoSomething()
    while $something = 1
        GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, $s & " loop" & @CRLF, 1)
    ;GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit1, $SB_SCROLLCARET, 0, 0)
    ;ControlFocus($Form1, "", $Edit1)
        sleep(50)
        $s = $s +1

    WEnd
EndFunc

THANK YOU! I now see what I was "missing".

Made a little tweak for clearing and now will work towards integration in my script
