Button functionality

[Kowala]

Respected AutoIT Community,

I have a simple GUI (Koda) with two buttons. I would like to take the two stated buttons $Player and $Readme and give them functionality. My end goal is to run a install from the Player button and launch a .pdf from the Readme button. I have spent the afternoon reading AutoIT Help and browsing the forum but have yet to find a clear answer. I believe I need to use OnEvent type commands but have not been able to get it to work thus far. It seems it is a relatively simple task that I am making overly complex. I have only included the Koda script. If someone could send me in the right direction I would be ever grateful!

Thank you,

Kowala

Example of how to call functions from the message loop in response to control clicks

While 1
  $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
  Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
       Exit
    Case $Player
      PlayerFuction()
    Case $Readme
      ReadmeFuction()
  EndSwitch
WEnd

Func PlayerFuction()
;Demo code
MsgBox(0,"Test","You clicked the Player button")

EndFunc

Func ReadmeFuction()
;Demo code
MsgBox(0,"Test","You clicked the Readme button")
EndFunc
