Need some HELP with problems I encountered (see below)

Hi,

I'm trying to create a little tool that can manage points and keep track of a score.

I couldn't seem to figure out how to do certain things, though.

Could any of you tell me what the code is to let the script check or uncheck a checkbox?

Case $SelectAllButton
               Check $Checkbox1;<----------------
               Check $Checkbox2
               Check $Checkbox3
               Check $Checkbox4
               Check $Checkbox5
               Check $Checkbox6
               Check $Checkbox7
               Check $Checkbox8
               Check $Checkbox9
               Check $Checkbox10
           Case $DeselectAllButton
               Uncheck $Checkbox1;<-----------------
               Uncheck $Checkbox2
               Uncheck $Checkbox3
               Uncheck $Checkbox4
               Uncheck $Checkbox5
               Uncheck $Checkbox6
               Uncheck $Checkbox7
               Uncheck $Checkbox8
               Uncheck $Checkbox9
               Uncheck $Checkbox10

Also, I don't know how to make a variable equal to an inputvalue (from an inputbox)...

$PlusMinusValue = 0
   $ChangeInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("ChangeInput", 104, 224, 73, 21)
   (...)
   Case $Apply
               $PlusMinusValue = the inputvalue of $Changeinput

And I need some help with creating a message that can be pasted somewhere, containing variables.

$Standings= "$Name1 $Points1 :: $Name2 $Points2 :: $Name3 $Points3";;;;; Like: "John 23 :: Doe 16 :: Pete 86"
   (...)
   Case $AutoPostButton
               Sleep 2000
               WinActivate("Notepad")
               Sleep 6000
               Send("{ENTER}")
               Sleep 500
               Send($Standings)
               Sleep 500
               Send("{ENTER}")

I'd really appreciate your help

Thanks

nf67,

Q1. Look at GUICtrlSetState in the Help file. You will need to use the $GUI_[uN]CHECKED states.

Q2. Look at GUICtrlRead in the Help file. You will only need the ControlID - so GUICtrlRead($ChangeInput) will do the trick.

Q3. Use the concatenation operator "&" (Help file - "Language Reference - Operators").

$Standings = $Name1 & " " & $Points1 & " :: " & $Name2 & " " & $Points2 & " :: " & $Name3 & " " & $Points3

will give you "John 23 :: Doe 16 :: Pete 86" - assuming that the variables exist and have been set to those values, of course. ;-)

I hope this helps.

It sure does, thank you

::SOLVED::

Sorry I forgot to mention that $Name1 2 and 3 are actually inputboxes (so I can fill in names) , I need the value they contain.

I tried to use GuiCtrlRead($Name1) for the content of inputbox $Name1 but it (obviously?) didn't work .

My attempt:

$Name1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Name1", 24, 24, 105, 21)
$Name2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Name2", 24, 56, 105, 21)
$Name3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Name3", 24, 88, 105, 21)
(...)
$Standings = GUICtrlRead($Name1) & " " & $Points1 & " :: " & GUICtrlRead($Name2) & " " & $Points2 & " :: " & GUICtrlRead($Name3) & " " & $Points3

(GuiCtrlRead doesn't work, apparently )

Your other solutions were great, I've fixed the other errors now .

EDIT: This DOES seem to work now Odd but nice

nf67,

GUICtrlRead is definitely what you use to read the contents of an Input control - honest!

GUICreate("Test", 200, 200)

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("fred", 10, 10, 180, 20)

$sContents = GUICtrlRead($hInput)

$hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sContents, 10, 50, 180, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
WEnd

If you cannot get it to work, post the code you are using and we will see what else is causing the problem.
