Hi all,

I'm having problems creating an If > Else statement with regards to GUICtrlRead. If the input line is completely empty and a user hits submit, it should return an error. I'm pre-filling out the input line with the following:

Global $fw1 = GuiCtrlRead ($tab0fileinp)
   If $fw1 = "~filename.au3" Then
      MsgBox(0, "Error: Missing File Information", "You need to specify a filename before submitting.")
   Else
      $opts = 1
      MsgBox(0, "Continue Hit", "continuing file")
   Endif

The $tab0fileinp is basically a GUICtrlCreateInput line with a pre-filled ~filename.au3. The user basically fills in their own filename.au3 and clicks submit. I'm checking against the ~filename.au3 and an empty input control. If the input box is empty, the user shouldn't be able to submit and create a file.

So, how do I test against an empty input control? I tried isstring("") and "", but then it returns anything.

Thanks,

Also, if you want to see what I'm starting to do, compile the code below and run the application. I'm creating a fully functional autoit script creation utility which hand holds the user and allows them to create scripts step by step.

If you take a look at it, you'll see where it's going. It's very very basic and just in the works but it will create the entire script, including basic information, autoit set options, globals, functions, etc. I'm still a long way away but I'm working on it because I wanted to speed up the script creation process.

Hopefully, someone will find it useful.

If you see or have advice on how I should limit code, or go about separating the script (it will be gigantic when I'm finished with it), let me know. Otherwise, just need help with one portion above in the first script.

Thanks,

i just added what you see below and it worked for me

Global $fw1 = GuiCtrlRead ($tab0fileinp)
   If $fw1 = "~filename.au3" or $fw1 ="" Then
      MsgBox(0, "Error: Missing File Information", "You need to specify a filename before submitting.")
   Else
      $opts = 1
      MsgBox(0, "Continue Hit", "continuing file")
   Endif

EDIT: Looks cool so far. Hope you get it working the way you want. Also I was thinking maybe there is a way to put the controls in an array. And maybe as you get each function working the way you want, put it in a seperate file and #include it. It might make things easier to work with than one huge file.

Bah I had that believe it or not except when doing the or portion I forgot to include $fw1 = "". Instead I had if $fw1 = "~filename.au3" or "" then ..

Thanks for the clarification.

I've been thinking about how I want to format the file. I definitely think using arrays will help out immensely and I'm going to put the functions in include files so that they are easier to manage.

Thanks!
