GuiButton to run an script

[lostangel556]

Hi, I know this probably sounds like an really easy thing to do but please bear with me, im just starting with gui's in autoit.

I need to be able to select an option in the combobox on my GUI and select the button which will then run the specified function.

Heres what i have so far for my test script

CODE

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <GuiButton.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Global $btn, $hGUI

Example1()

Func Example1()

Local $msg

$hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

;Create an Button

$btn = _GUICtrlButton_Create($hGUI, "Button1", 10, 10, 90, 50)

;Combo Selection Box

$hcombo = _GUICtrlComboBox_Create($hGUI, "", 50, 120, 100, 120)

_GUICtrlComboBox_AddString($hcombo, "Script 1")

_GUICtrlComboBox_AddString($hcombo, "Script 2")

;Pass Value to function to find which script to run

_ComboCompare(GUICtrlRead($hcombo))

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

WEnd

GUIDelete()

EndFunc ;==>Example1

Func _ComboCompare($hmsg)

If $hmsg = "Script 1" Then

_myscript1()

Else

_myscript2()

EndIf

EndFunc

Func _myscript1()

MsgBox(0,"", "Hello1")

EndFunc

Func _myscript2()

MsgBox(0,"", "Hello2")

EndFunc

Look up GuiGetMsg in the help and the example.

Cheers,

But how do i get the event for the button?

Ive set this part

CODE

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

Select

Case $btn

MsgBox(0, "", "Button Pressed", 2)

EndSelect

but it just keeps bringing up the msgbox on an loop
