[Help Needed]Basic Random Numbers

[0_00_0]

Hello There!

I'm basically trying to make a string of x random numbers from 0-9. For example: genCode(4) could generate 3942. The problem I'm having now is that it just adds them togeather. I'm looking for a concat, or sprintf equivalent in autoIT.

func genCode($length)
    $code = String("")
    $tempRand=0
    $count = 0
    
    while $length > $count
        $tempRand=Random(0, 9)
        $code = String($code) + String($tempRand)
        $count = $count + 1
    WEnd
    
    return $code
EndFunc

$code = $code & $tempRand

-or-

$code &= $tempRand

Random(0, 9, 1)

If this is set to 1 then an integer result will be returned. Default is a floating point number.

... if you want 0-9 whole numbers

ok thanks a bunch that worked. Aside from generating anywhere from (x-2)->(x) numbers, but this isn't a huge issue right now. Just another quick question, I didn't want to start a whole new topic on it.

Whenever I add a background picture to my GUI it disables all my controls. Here is my GUI code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <String.au3>

$width = 250
$height = 225

$hGui = guicreate("Generator", $width, $height)
guisetstate(@SW_SHOW)

;this line give mah GUI errorZ!
guictrlcreatepic("bk.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)

$hNum1 = guictrlcreateinput("0123", 15, 70, 35, 25)
$hNum2 = guictrlcreateinput("012345", 55, 70, 45, 25)
$hNum3 = guictrlcreateinput("01234", 105, 70, 40, 25)
$hNum4 = guictrlcreateinput("012345", 150, 70, 45, 25)
$hNum5 = guictrlcreateinput("0123", 200, 70, 35, 25)

$hGenNum1 = guictrlcreateinput("0000", 15, 130, 35, 25)
$hGenNum2 = guictrlcreateinput("000000", 55, 130, 45, 25)
$hGenNum3 = guictrlcreateinput("00000", 105, 130, 40, 25)
$hGenNum4 = guictrlcreateinput("000000", 150, 130, 45, 25)
$hGenNum5 = guictrlcreateinput("0000", 200, 130, 35, 25)

$genButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("GENERATE", ($width/2)-20, 160)

while 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    if $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
        Exit
        endif
wEnd

Move the Picture control to the end, its now on top of the other controls.

$hNum1 = guictrlcreateinput("0123", 15, 70, 35, 25)
$hNum2 = guictrlcreateinput("012345", 55, 70, 45, 25)
$hNum3 = guictrlcreateinput("01234", 105, 70, 40, 25)
$hNum4 = guictrlcreateinput("012345", 150, 70, 45, 25)
$hNum5 = guictrlcreateinput("0123", 200, 70, 35, 25)

$hGenNum1 = guictrlcreateinput("0000", 15, 130, 35, 25)
$hGenNum2 = guictrlcreateinput("000000", 55, 130, 45, 25)
$hGenNum3 = guictrlcreateinput("00000", 105, 130, 40, 25)
$hGenNum4 = guictrlcreateinput("000000", 150, 130, 45, 25)
$hGenNum5 = guictrlcreateinput("0000", 200, 130, 35, 25)

$genButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("GENERATE", ($width/2)-20, 160)
guictrlcreatepic("bk.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)

Also...

"Background" pictures should always be made first and disabled

guictrlcreatepic("bk.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)

guictrlsetstate( -1, $GUI_DISABLE)

this way labels and buttons will function

Damn you guys are helpful. I just assumed it would be at the back because I added the other controls after it. Disabling it was definitely the smart thing to do, thats the method I took. I'm sure adding it after works too. Thanks a bunch guys! Thats all my questions for now, feel free to lock it up!
