how to reset the GUIForm

[JohnRichard]

i was wondering how will i reset my main gui window. my GUI window has an Inputbox, Checkboxes and Edit control. It also has a browse button, reset button, backup button and Exit button. When i clicked on Backup button it will display a message on the Edit control with corresponding checkbox option. What i want to happen is that when i click on the Reset button, the checkboxes will be deselected and the text on the Edit control will disappear as if i will start the program. what script will do that?

this is the GUIForm Code:

$Form1 = GUICreate("Backup", 491, 377, -1, -1)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")

$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Select Folder to Backup", 48, 75, 393, 126)

$Documents_Checkbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("My Documents", 72, 115, 97, 25)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Documents_Checkbox, "Documents_CheckboxClick")

$Favorites_Checkbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Favorites", 72, 157, 97, 25)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Favorites_Checkbox, "Favorites_CheckboxClick")

$Desktop_CheckBox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Desktop", 310, 115, 97, 25)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Desktop_CheckBox, "Desktop_CheckBoxClick")

$Outlook_CheckBox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("MS Outlook", 310, 157, 97, 25)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Outlook_CheckBox, "Outlook_CheckBoxClick")

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 48, 240, 393, 65, $ES_READONLY)

$Backup_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Backup", 49, 328, 113, 33, 0)

GUICtrlSetFont($Backup_Button, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Backup_Button, "Backup_Buttonclick")

$Reset_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Reset", 190, 328, 113, 33, 0)

GUICtrlSetFont($Reset_Button, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$Exit_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 330, 328, 113, 33, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Reset_Button, "Reset_Buttonclick")

GUICtrlSetFont($Exit_Button, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Exit_Button, "Exit_Buttonclick")

$Backup_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Backup Location:", 50, 26, 104, 17)

GUICtrlSetFont($Backup_Label, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

$Browse_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Browse", 351, 12, 89, 33, 0)

GUICtrlSetFont($Browse_Button, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Browse_Button, "Browse_Buttonclick")

$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 160, 23, 185, 21)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

You must call guictrlsetData() on every control you want to erase.

i dont want to erase instead i wanted to set the form to the original state. Say i want all checkboxes to be unchecked wheni click on reset.

can you give sample code...

i tried but its not working

[JohnRichard]

this is my code for the reset button..i can't make it working

Func Reset_Buttonclick()

Local $Favorites = GUICtrlRead($Favorites_Checkbox)

GUICtrlSetData($Favorites_Checkbox, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

EndFunc

how will i clear the form?

Save data of the controls to global variables. When you want to set to the original state, retrieve the values from the variables.

Local $Favorites = GUICtrlRead($Favorites_Checkbox)

GUICtrlSetData($Favorites_Checkbox, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

I guess it's GuictrlsetState on checkboxes

[JohnRichard]

I guess it's GuictrlsetState on checkboxes

i checked the helpfile for guictrlsetstate. i think it is.

but when i modified the code it is even not working

check this

GUICtrlSetState($Favorites_Checkbox, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

when i run the script and click reset, checkbox could not be unchecked.

[amokoura]

Use some debuggin if the guictrlsetstate is even called.

If so, check it's return value.

See if this helps you with a strategy for your code:

CODE

Func _sSMonitorMenu()

While 1

;Put an INIRead statement here to read the last processed settings

;//Exit Menu After nn Minutes Nil Activity

$MenuCycle = _TimeToTicks(@HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)

$MenuEndCycle = $MenuCycle + $EndMenuTimer * 60 * 1000

;//User Interface

GUICreate($Title, 240, 320, -1, -1)

GUISetBkColor(0xE0FFFF)

GUISetState()

;//Report in hh Format

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Schedule Daily Report [hh]:", 200, 290, 150, 20)

$ispReport = GUICtrlCreateInput($s_ReportTime, 350, 288, 25, 20, $es_right)

If $mprocess = 26 Then GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 2)

GUICtrlSetTip(-1, " Compile and Send Daily Report at [00-24] Hours", "Help", 1)

;//Save

$sSsave = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 408, 402, 117, 30)

;//Close

$sSExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 116, 290, 100, 25)

While 1

;//Menu Processor:

If _TimeToTicks(@HOUR, @MIN, @SEC) >= $MenuEndCycle Then

GUIDelete()

ExitLoop (2)

EndIf

$mprocess = 0

$cISPReport = GUICtrlRead($ispReport)

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

;//Exit the Application

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $sSExit

GUIDelete()

ExitLoop (2)

Case $msg = $sSsave

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

While 1

GUIDelete()

;//Reporting 24 Hour Clock [00-23] 00 = Midnight:

If $cISPReport = "" Or $cISPReport > 23 Or StringLen("'" & $cISPReport & "'") <> 4 Then

$mprocess = 26

$TextMsg = "Daily Reporting Hour is in [00-23] FORMAT"

ExitLoop

Else

;iniwrite (to save the information)

EndIf

;Check the next input and so on.

WEnd

WEnd

EndFunc

thanks to all who replied, i got it working now with the GUICTRLSETSTATE

GUICtrlSetState($Desktop_CheckBox, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

GUICtrlSetState($Outlook_CheckBox, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

GUICtrlSetData($Edit, "")

GUICtrlSetData($Input, "")
