GUI Input Mystery

[ken82m]

I have two radiobuttons and an input associated with each one.

Each radiobutton enables its input and disables the other input.

Problem

1) Check "Archive Files"

2) Check "Limit Archive To:"

3) Check the first button for "Megabytes"

4) Enter a number into the input

5) Check the second button for "Days"

6) Notice the Megabytes entry changes back to "0"

7) Now click the button for "Megabytes" again

Problem

8) Click on the input, it changes back to teh value you entered in step 4

If you reverse that process I don't have that problem with the second input retains it's value of 0 when I click on it.

I managed to clean up my code enough to show you what's happening.

Thanks,

Kenny

I have two checkboxes and an input associated with each one.

Each checkbox enables its input and disables the other input.

Problem

1) Enter a number into $I1

2) I check $R2, $I2 is enabled, I1 is disabled and set to "0"

3) I click "R1", $I1 is enabled, I2 is disabled and set to "0"

4) When I actually click on the now activated I1 the value changes from "0" back to the value I previously entered.

If you reverse that process I2 retains it's value of 0 when I click on it.

Here's a sample I made of the GUI, which unfortunately works fine, I can't reproduce it in another script

But the script is extrememly large and contains multiple GUI's which is why I didn't post the whole thing.

In my script I have the exact same cases shown below, and I have reviewed every single GUICtrlCreateInput command in the script.

What other command or action could cause this?

Thanks,

Kenny

Hi,try this, $r1 is for radio 1

While 1
If GuiCtrlGetState($r1)=$GUI_CHECKED then
GuiCtrlSetState($i1,$GUI_ENABLED)
GuiCtrlSetState($i2,$GUI_DISABLED)
Else
GuiCtrlSetState($i2,$GUI_ENABLED)
GuiCtrlSetState($i1,$GUI_DISABLED)
Endif

Added code to reproduce problem.

It's probably something simple and stupid and just needs a fresh pair of eyes.

Thanks,

You should always try to provide the smallest amount of code that will still reproduce the problem.

sorry, got it down to bare essentials now

[ken82m]

Well I got it I just redid Case $ArchiveLimitCheckbox from scratch

Though there was nothing in it that would change the value of the input boxes, and why would that case effect anything when I'm working with different controls....

Oh well
