Save Information ?

[Fantasy]

Hey people..

I've played around with AutoIt for a long time, and learned it all by myself.. I just need help with one thing now..

I have this GUI, with buttons..

One of them says options..

Anyhow, what I need is, that when you press that button, it should open up a new gui where you can set some preferences (like sleep time). It should also save and store this information, so the next time you open it up, it shouldn't be neccesary to type in again..

So basically I need my program to read from the file, that the options-UI saved. Can someone make a little tiny example that shows this?

So in short

GUI That opens new gui with some information that can be stored and used again.

Hope you can help me out here.. (:

Thanks in advance

When the GUI with the options opens, u could read and save the data with IniWrite for example...

Could you please be so kind to make an example? s:

$Info = GuiCtrlRead($Control)

IniWrite("file.ini","settings","This control", $Info)

Fantasy,

This should give you a good handle on how to go about it:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$sIniFile = @ScriptDir & "\test.ini"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Options", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            _Options()
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func _Options()
    
    $sValue = IniRead($sIniFile, "Section", "Option", "Empty")
    
    $hOptions = GUICreate("Options", 200, 200)
    
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter a value", 10, 10, 100, 20)
    $hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput($sValue, 10, 30, 100, 20)
    $hSave = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 10, 90, 80, 30)
    
    GUISetState()
    
    While 1
    
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $hSave
                IniWrite($sIniFile, "Section", "Option", GUICtrlRead($hInput))
                ContinueCase
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                GUIDelete($hOptions)
                Return
        EndSwitch
    
    WEnd
    
EndFunc

That was just what I needed (:

Fantasy,

Please do not PM questions - it is considered extremely rude. If you post in the thread then the whole community can benefit - which is why we are here, after all. :-)

Hey M23..

Your file helped me, A LOT !

It's just that when I want to do it myself, it goes wrong .. First of all, mine needs 3 different settings, which the program has to read from later on.'

I just created more Inputs and more Case 's .. But all it does it create a .ini file, that contains text, but not what you typed in?

here's the two GUI's I need to work together.

Can you tell whats wrong?

Now we have got that out of the way, there were a number of things which prevented the scripts working:

1- You had the same variable name ($Settings) in both. That meant you could only get the 'Settings' button to work the first time - after that the ControlID value was changed to that of the Settings GUI and you could not get GUIGetMsg() to pick it up as you had already deleted it!

2 - Read the Help file carefully about IniRead and IniWrite - your parameters were all over the place! Study the example below.

3 - When you IniWrite, you need to read the Input controls by using their ControlIDs - you were using the variable that was placed in them when they were created.

This should work for you (at least as far as the setting goes):

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Florensia_Bot__By_Fantasy = GUICreate("Florensia Bot by Fantasy ", 257, 399, 316, 175)
