HowTo "grey out" a group section?

cherdeg · September 15, 2008

...depending on the value selected in a combobox of the same GUI?

Thank you very much,

Regards,

Chris

Hello cherdeg,

I wrote it, but I didn't find the way to disable the whole group control, so I disabled the items one by one:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 0)

$Debug_CB = False ; Check ClassName being passed to ComboBox/ComboBoxEx functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

I'll try to guess, how to do it, but if you are faster, please don't hesitate to share your code with us:)

edit:

It could be a solution, when you create the controls, store them in one array, and when you need you can disable them much faster and easier..

greetings cherdeg and dworld

the other two methods I am aware of to do this are:

1

start and end each group of controls section

with GUICtrlCreateDummy(), then use GUICtrlSetState()

on the controls in the range between the two control IDs

Edit: forgot to replace individual controls with single

GUICtrlSetState($i, $GUI_DISABLE) in For/Next loop

CODE

; Group 1 ------------------------------------------------

$d1 = GUICtrlCreateDummy()

$grpOne = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group 2", 130, 10, 100, 270)

$radio_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 1", 30, 90, 60, 20)

$radio_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 2", 30, 110, 60, 50)

$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Group 2", 150, 250, 60, 20)

$d2 = GUICtrlCreateDummy()

;---------------------------------------------------------

For $i = $d1+1 To $d2-1

GUICtrlSetState($i, $GUI_DISABLE)

use an array and create controls in loop if many radios or checkboxes needed

then use GUICtrlSetState() in a loop and set state of each control ID in the array

if using UDF controls in the array, then check to see if control id is a Hwnd and

run appropriate controls UDF set state command

Edit1: not happy with using the ContinueCase line,

it's fine for an example but if other case statements are added

it would no longer default to Case Else

Edit2: another coding without coffee error

no need to add 10 to $iSpace to set initial radio button placement

Edit3: left out the closing group statements

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIComboBox.au3>
;#include <ComboConstants.au3>

Hey Rover,

sorry I didn't answer yet...yesterday I implemented the relevant lines of your code into my version...and it works just perfect!!!

Hey Rover,
sorry I didn't answer yet...yesterday I implemented the relevant lines of your code into my version...and it works just perfect!!!

no problem Chris

glad to help out with reducing your work related stress. >_<

Could I help you out with something in Return?

if you can, help out with answering questions in the forum every now and then.

be seeing you...

(its a departing line from a TV series that's on most TV critics all time favourite list, right up there with 'Edge of Darkness' and 'The Singing Detective' (tv, not the movie))

Sorry all to *bump* this ancient topic again...

...but I currently have to go over and optimize the code I produced back then. One optimization was to change the three input-fields for IP-Addresses from "GUICtrlCreateInput" to "_GUICtrlIpAddress_Create".

But now the won't grey out any longer...

Does anybody have a clue, why?

Every help is greatly appreciated; Thank you in anticipation of any efforts...

Regards,

Chris

cherdeg,

I do not think you can "grey-out" that type of control. It does not respond to GUICtrlSetState as you have discovered. But you can "show/hide" it using _GUICtrlIpAddress_ShowHide - the following code replaces the IpAdrress control with a "greyed-out" edit which holds the same data as the hidden IpAddress control:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Global $fState = True, $hEdit_Grey = 9999

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 200, 200)

$hIP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hGUI, 10, 10, 100, 20)
$test = GUICtrlCreateButton("Toggle", 10, 50, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $test
            $fState = Not $fState
            _GUICtrlIpAddress_ShowHide($hIP, $fState)
            If $fState = False Then
                $sIP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Get($hIP)
                $hEdit_Grey = GUICtrlCreateEdit($sIP, 10, 10, 100, 20)
                    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
            Else
                GUICtrlDelete($hEdit_Grey)
            EndIf
                    
    EndSwitch

WEnd

I know that this is not perfect, but I hope that it helps.

[...] but I hope that it helps.

It probably does, but I don't seem being able to get it into my code. But the change to using _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create instead of a simple GUICtrlCreateInput is definitely a minor issue. In my understanding, the function checkcombo() and WM_COMMAND do the switching in my current GUI. Due to the fact that checkcombo() switches the different cases, It seemed senseful for me to try and use your code there, I only used this part:

$fState = Not $fState
_GUICtrlIpAddress_ShowHide($hIP, $fState)
If $fState = False Then
    $sIP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Get($hIP)
    $hEdit_Grey = GUICtrlCreateEdit($sIP, 10, 10, 100, 20)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Else
    GUICtrlDelete($hEdit_Grey)
EndIf

...and replaced $fState with my variables $bSTG_State and $bNTG_State and also $hIP with the three from my GUI. But I couldn't get it to work in about two hours (probably a lack of understanding on my side), so I quit that part for the moment.

But if there is time to waste some day, I'll return back on this. Never the less: Thank you very much for your definitely working code...

Regards, Chris

@cherdeg

use the ControlEnable/Disable commands with returned handle from _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create()

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Global $fState = True, $hEdit_Grey = 9999

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 200, 200)

$hIP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hGUI, 10, 10, 100, 20)
_GUICtrlIpAddress_Set ($hIP, "24.168.2.128")
$test = GUICtrlCreateButton("Toggle", 10, 50, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $test
            $fState = Not $fState
            If $fState = False Then
                ControlDisable($hGUI, "", $hIP)
            Else
                ControlEnable($hGUI, "", $hIP)
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

rover,

An obvious solution when you know it exists!

I had never noticed the ControlDisable/Enable commands. An example of the Help file being "too big" sometimes - not that I am complaining, of course. ;-)

@Melba23

for me, its about solutions, not victories.

I think we all miss new commands or ones we've never used or forgot about.

does anyone have the entire Win32 API committed to memory? (but that's obsolete now isn't it?, with .NET etc.)

I recall a comment or lament by weaponx about the lack of a help file as comprehensive as AutoIt's for the C languages.

we are fortunate

be seeing you.

rover,

I entirely share your feelings on this. Please do not take my earlier remarks as anything other than delight that the command exists - it was certainly not made in any other sense.

no offense taken, was just amiable banter on my part.

I was PM'ed by cherdeg about this and only got back to it now.

Hey rover,

thank you very much: once again you made my day (and that, taking in the fact that today is one of "my most beloved" Mondays, happens very sparsely). After failing to get Melba's working code into my crap, I succeeded using yours in about..mom..16 minutes (Melba: please don't take it as an offence, the problem was my ability, not your code :unsure: ). I simply adjusted the variable names to match mine, set the controls disabled by default (why? see comment):

CODE

; Disable the Network Tasks Group (the System Tasks Group is the default of the combobox, therefore the Network Tasks Group must start up disabled)

For $i = ($id_NTG_Begin + 1) To ($id_NTG_End - 1)

GUICtrlSetState($i, $GUI_DISABLE)

ControlDisable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_SM)

ControlDisable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_GW)

...and entered the above three lines into the existing function _CheckCombo($a_arrJOBS, $ge_Input_IP, $ge_Input_SM, $ge_Input_GW) which now of course no longer needs only the array but also the control handles. The function now looks like this:

; Function _CheckCombo to check the current value of combobox $ge_Combo_Tasks and switches the task groups on and off
; ==================================================================================================
Func _CheckCombo($a_arrJOBS, $ge_Input_IP, $ge_Input_SM, $ge_Input_GW)
    Local $iSTG = 0, $iNTG = 0, $bSTG_State, $bNTG_State
    $bSTG_State = BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($id_STG_Begin + 1), $GUI_DISABLE) = $GUI_DISABLE
    $bNTG_State = BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($id_NTG_Begin + 1), $GUI_DISABLE) = $GUI_DISABLE
    Switch GUICtrlRead($ge_Combo_Tasks)
        Case $a_arrJOBS[0] ; "System Configuration"
            If $bSTG_State Then
                $iSTG = $GUI_ENABLE
            EndIf
            If Not $bNTG_State Then 
                $iNTG = $GUI_DISABLE
                ControlDisable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_IP)
                ControlDisable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_SM)
                ControlDisable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_GW)
            EndIf
        
        Case $a_arrJOBS[1] ; "Network Configuration"
            If $bNTG_State Then
                $iNTG = $GUI_ENABLE
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_IP)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_SM)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_GW)
            EndIf
            If Not $bSTG_State Then
                $iSTG = $GUI_DISABLE
            EndIf
            
        Case $a_arrJOBS[2] ; "Network and System Configuration"
            If $bSTG_State Then
                $iSTG = $GUI_ENABLE
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_IP)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_SM)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_GW)
            EndIf
            If $bNTG_State Then
                $iNTG = $GUI_ENABLE
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_IP)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_SM)
                ControlEnable($ge_Form_Main, "", $ge_Input_GW)
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
   
    If $iSTG Then
        For $i = ($id_STG_Begin + 1) To ($id_STG_End - 1)
            GUICtrlSetState($i, $iSTG)
        Next
    EndIf
    If $iNTG Then
        For $i = ($id_NTG_Begin + 1) To ($id_NTG_End - 1)
            GUICtrlSetState($i, $iNTG)
        Next
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_CheckCombo

So in the end I would like to thank the both of you very much!

Best Regards,

Chris
