TheBG Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi. I'm pretty new to Autoit, but I have made several scripts for installing apps. now i'm trying to make a Gui to pick and select applications to install. In short, I want to make a gui that has the application list, the user picks the apps they need, and press install. How do I check if a checkbox is checked> and then make it run another autoit script? below is my base setup Opt("WinWaitDelay",100) Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4) Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1) Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) #include <GUIConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 270, 197, 192, 124) $Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox1", 32, 24, 113, 25) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 24, 160, 105, 33, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 If $Checkbox1 = True Then Run("\\age-cims\software$\EngStd.exe") EndIf EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 13, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2009 TheBG,You need to use GUICtrlRead. But it is not that simple for Checkboxes and Radiobuttons, where the state of the control is returned. You need to BitAnd the return value with the result you want - the following is true if the Checkbox is checked:If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($hCheckbox), $GUI_CHECKED) ThenI hope this is clear - the Help file for GUICtrlRead explains it all as well if you need a second bite. ;-)M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAlkex Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Ahh checkboxes can be tricky sometimes. Way down in the "remarks section" of the function GUICtrlRead it is explained how to handle them = For Checkbox, Radio control several states can be returned as $GUI_FOCUS and $GUI_CHECKED,. So use i.e. BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Item),$GUI_CHECKED) to test if the control is checked.That means that the line "If $Checkbox1 = True Then" should be changed to something like "If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1), $GUI_CHECKED) = True Then"Edit: Melba23 writes to fast Edited May 13, 2009 by AdmiralAlkex .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenNichols Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Try this. CODE#include <GUIConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### $Form1 = GUICreate("Run/Install Applications", 270, 197, 192, 124) $Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Calculator", 32, 24, 113, 25) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run/Install", 24, 160, 105, 33, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 $Checkbox1Checked = GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1) If $Checkbox1Checked = 1 Then Run("calc.exe") EndIf EndSwitch WEnd [topic="21048"]New to AutoIt?

GEOSoft Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Better yet Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1), 1) Then Run("calc.exe") EndSwitch George Question about decompiling code?

TheBG Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ok, One more question. I can't seem to figure this one out. How can I get the checkbox to reset itself to unchecked after I hit the main $Button1? I've been trying GUICtrlSetState, but have no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAlkex Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I made an example based on the code previously posted here: Opt("WinWaitDelay",100) Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4) Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1) Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>;GUIConstants was replaced a long time ago #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### $Form1 = GUICreate("Run/Install Applications", 270, 197, 192, 124) $Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Calculator", 32, 24, 113, 25) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run/Install", 24, 160, 105, 33, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 If BitAnd(GUICtrlRead($Checkbox1),$GUI_CHECKED) Then Run("calc.exe") GUICtrlSetState($Checkbox1, $GUI_UNCHECKED) EndIf EndSwitch WEnd .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBG Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Many thanks for the help! I see now that I was not using the setstate appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
