total newbie - checkboxes

[BrianAZ]

What I'm looking to do is throw together a simple GUI with checkboxes (say 7 checkboxes) where if one was checked it would launch an application. I've figured out how to have buttons launch apps but not as of yet with checkboxes.

I found one through a simple search ( at the topt right of this screen )

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


GUICreate("Program Runner")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select the program.", 10, 10)
$P1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Notepad", 10, 40, 80, 30)
$P2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Explorer", 10, 70, 80, 30)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 120, 30)
GUICtrlSetState($P1, $GUI_CHECKED)

GUISetState()


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $button
            If _IsChecked($P1) Then Run("Notepad.exe")
            If _IsChecked($P2) Then Run("Explorer.exe")
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func _IsChecked($control)
    Return BitAND(GUICtrlRead($control), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

Actually i think i just figured it out

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("")

$checkCN = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("App1", 10, 10, 120, 20)

$checkCN1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("App2", 10, 40, 120, 20)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

If $msg = $checkCN Then

$cstate = BitAND(GUICtrlRead($checkCN), $GUI_CHECKED)

If $cstate = $GUI_CHECKED Then ShellExecuteWait("notepad.exe")

EndIf

If $msg = $checkCN1 Then

$cstate = BitAND(GUICtrlRead($checkCN1), $GUI_CHECKED)

If $cstate = $GUI_CHECKED Then ShellExecuteWait("cmd.exe")

EndIf

WEnd

although is there a way to make app2 wait til app1 is finished before kicking off?

/cmd & notepad is just what i'm playing with for the moment to test, but in the end it will be used to kick off installs of apps

Use RunWait() instead of Run()

That works wonders actually

Use RunWait() instead of Run()

oh one other question.....

if i were to need to run a app and then have it patched, is that possible to do with just using one checkbox?

two run statements for one?
