Setting form controls visible depending on event

[pedge]

Hi all,

I have used AutoIT on and off for the last 5 years but never got down to do any heavy scripting so forgive me if I'm being a tad naive.

I'm currently working out a way to create a script where by using an input form will allow a user to adjust some settings in the Registry. These settings are to allow a database dependent application to swap from using SQL Server to Oracle. Rather than having to manually hack the reg I want to get the script to automate the hack.

I'm getting the gist of RegRead and RegWrite to include some variables however, the thing that's bothering me is the form and how to get the users input.

My idea is to provide an input form where the user will be presented either by 2 radio buttons or a combo box with 2 options, SQL Server & Oracle. Two tab controls (to include several input fields) will also be available which will be disabled/hidden until the user selects either SQL Server or Oracle from either the radio buttons or combo. Then dependent on the selected DB the tab will be enabled/visible and the input fields available to the user to apply the servername/db name etc into the input fields.

All the entered data will then be written to the registry once the user has clicked OK.

I've included the draft code for the form below. If anybody has any pointers it would be a great help.

TIA

Pete
