Hello everybody i have a question... Is it possible to create several (ipothetically infinite) controls with an automation like "For... To" and then somehow recall them later for example to pick only some of them and putting them in a control group within the GUI? To explain better... For instance we have: $heightinc=10 $List=IniRead ("Vocabulary.ini","Words Starting With A","A-Ast","");An ini file containing hundreds of words separated by "/" $Array=StringSplit ($List, "/") For $i=1 To $Array[0] ;where we can imagine the array to be very big GuiCtrlCreateLabel($Array[$i],1,$heightinc,80,20) $heightinc=($heightinc+10) ;this will avoid the words to be put one on top of each other Next Then in my GUI i'll have a bunch of words and i want to select only few of them... i wanted to make this by clicking on them (on the label corresponding to the desired word) then pressing a button to confirm my choice and them would be added let's say in a GroupBox near! But i cant really figure how to do it... Giving each one a variable on his own is impossible. The thing gets more complicated since i want to make the selected words to be re-selectable for reading/editing, so the script should recognize what he's working on... Any help is highly appreciated! Many thanks... Alberto

Thanks man, i'll try that... Even if arrays makes me feel a little dazed

I think that the problem still remains, because the, to recall te variable i must use Eval.... Global $troopstot=2 $troop_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_1",10,10) ;Creates the first group of troop's data $troop_1L2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_2",10,10) $troop_1L3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_3",10,10) $troop_1L4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_4",10,10) $troop_2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_2",20,10) ;Creates the 2nd group of troop's data $troop_2L2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_2",20,10) $troop_2L3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_3",20,10) $troop_2L4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_4",20,10) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button, "AddTroop") ;On button pressed event adds a group of troop data to the pre-existing ones (incremental) Func AddTroop() Assign("troop_"&$troopstot,GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_x",20,10)) ;"x" here should be substituted with "&$troopstot" but this would cause an error Assign("troop_"&$troopstot&"L2",GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_"&$troopstot&"_2,20,10)) Assign("troop_"&$troopstot&"L3",GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_"&$troopstot&"_2,20,10)) Assign("troop_"&$troopstot&"L4",GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_"&$troopstot&"_2,20,10)) $troopstot=($troopstot+1) ;this would grant that the next time we press the button the "$troopstot" (...) EndFunc ;(...)will be greater by one from the previous group Then with this script i dunno how to read the variables (for instance if we have created let's say 10 of them)

Hello everybody... It's not long i've been using autoit language and trying scripting my app i've ran into a problem that i'cant resolve: i need to create a variable that gets a different name depending on the number of variables that have already been created... To explain better i'll make an example: Global $troopstot=2 $troop_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_1",10,10) ;Creates the first group of troop's data $troop_1L2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_2",10,10) $troop_1L3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_3",10,10) $troop_1L4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_1_4",10,10) $troop_2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_2",20,10) ;Creates the 2nd group of troop's data $troop_2L2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_2",20,10) $troop_2L3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_3",20,10) $troop_2L4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_2_4",20,10) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button, "AddTroop") ;On button pressed event adds a group of troop data to the pre-existing ones (incremental) Func AddTroop() $troop_x = GUICtrlCreateLabel("troop_x",20,10) ;"x" here should be substituted with "&$troopstot" but this would cause an error $troop_xL2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_x_2",20,10) $troop_xL3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_x_3",20,10) $troop_xL4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("troop_x_4",20,10) $troopstot=($troopstot+1) ;this would grant that the next time we press the button the "$troopstot" will be greater by one from the previous group EndFunc The problem is that i can't use "Eval" because these input's could be re-edited during the use of the program and "Eval" would give them all the same variable name, causing all new input's data to be the same... (at least i think so http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/style_im...cons/icon4.gif) I hope that my goal is clear and that some good soul will help me out! Many thanks Alberto
