Hi. Can someone help me? I trying to read the seaction names from the file to now i much buttons to create in a form, and i want pass the field 0 for each section to each button, but i can´t see any name in the button. So, is possible to make this and sort the buttons on fly? And, how can i read the key in each section only after number 0? Thanks for any help!

test.ini

[bank]

0=Name to use in button

1=1|Bank|Adress

2=1|Bank|Adress

[Finance]

0=Name to use in button

1=1|Person|Adress

2=1|Person|Adress

0=Name to use in button

1=1|Person|Mail

2=1|Person|Mail

$optbar = IniReadSectionNames("test.ini")

$varStartHeight += 5

For $x = 1 To UBound($optbar) - 1

$Button[$x] = GUICtrlCreateButton($x, $varStartHeight, 30, 55, 27)

$varStartHeight += 60

You were pretty close. Changed Test.ini Name fields

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$optbar = IniReadSectionNames("test.ini")
If Not IsArray($optbar) Then Exit
Local $Button[UBound($optbar) - 1]

$hGUI = GUICreate('Ini GUI', 10 + (130 * UBound($optbar)), 100)

For $x = 1 To UBound($optbar) - 1
    $var = IniReadSection("test.ini", $optbar[$x])
    If @error Then ContinueLoop
    $X_Coord = 10 + (($x - 1) * 180)
    $Button[$x - 1] = GUICtrlCreateButton($var[1][1], $X_Coord, 30, 150, 30)    
Next
GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    For $i = 0 To UBound($Button) - 1
        If $Msg = $Button[$i] Then
            MsgBox(0, '$Msg = ' & $Msg, GuiCtrlRead($Button[$i]) & ' Pressed', 2)
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

Test.ini

[Bank]
0=Bank button
1=1|Bank|Adress
2=1|Bank|Adress

[Finance]
0=Finance button
1=1|Person|Adress
2=1|Person|Adress

[Email]
0=Email button
1=1|Person|Mail
2=1|Person|Mail

this should help you get closer

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$optbar = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir&"\test.ini")
$varStartHeight=0
$varStartHeight += 5
Dim $Button[4]
GUICreate("Test")
For $x = 1 To UBound($optbar) - 1
$Button[$x] = GUICtrlCreateButton($optbar[$x], $varStartHeight, 30, 55, 27)
$varStartHeight += 60
Next
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg=GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

*edit*

Thanks for quick answer! But my buttons don´t have caption that are in [sectionNames]/0=Key. Is there any wrong in the code? Regards!

You could change

$Button[$x - 1] = GUICtrlCreateButton($var[1][1], $X_Coord, 30, 150, 30)

to this

$Button[$x - 1] = GUICtrlCreateButton($optbar[$x], $X_Coord, 30, 150, 30)

I guess that's what you were asking???

Hi Varian. Thanks for your help. I want to count how any sections are in "test.ini", create the same number buttons and ordered them by the key 0=Name, that are in each section. And when i click in a button, call the sectionname that is associate. Is this possible? And can you tell me how if a program can have various While...WEnd at the same time? For example, this funcion is to use when i create a AnyGui and buttons inside. But, i don´t know how to call a funcion that works only when these buttons are created, because í´m afraid to use various While...WEnd. Regards.

I want to count how any sections are in "test.ini", create the same number buttons and ordered them by the key 0=Name, that are in each section.

You could create a 2-D array and read all the data into the array with each row being a section. Then _ArraySort will help you sort this array by whatever criteria you need.

And when i click in a button, call the sectionname that is associate. Is this possible?

what does "call the sectionname that is associate" mean?

And can you tell me how if a program can have various While...WEnd at the same time? For example, this funcion is to use when i create a AnyGui and buttons inside. But, i don´t know how to call a funcion that works only when these buttons are created, because í´m afraid to use various While...WEnd. Regards.

Please clarify.

Hi. Thanks for all help you give me so far, but can you help me again. I change the way i was doing the things. The code is working in put each ini file to a tab and respective sections in to buttons, but when i click in a button, this funcion - MsgBox(0, '$Msg = ' & $Msg, GuiCtrlRead($Button[$i]) & ' Pressed', 2) - only works in the last tab. Where is my mistake? Thanks for your help!

master file - index.ini - where are the ini files to pass to a tab.

[bank.ini]

[adress.ini]

[health.ini]

$optbar = IniReadSectionNames("index.ini")

If Not IsArray($optbar) Then Exit

_ArraySort($optbar)

$hGUI = GUICreate('Ini GUI', 600,600,10,10)

$varTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 100)

For $z = 1 To UBound($optbar) - 1

$optbarAreas = IniReadSectionNames($optbar[$z])

_ArraySort($optbarAreas)

Local $varTabItem[uBound($optbarAreas) - 1], $Button[uBound($optbarAreas) - 1]

$varTabItem[$z - 1] = GUICtrlCreateTabItem(StringTrimRight($optbar[$z],4))

For $x = 1 To UBound($optbarAreas) - 1

$var = IniReadSection($optbar[$z],$optbarAreas[$x])

If @error Then ContinueLoop

$X_Coord = 10 + (($x - 1) * 180)

$Button[$x - 1] = GUICtrlCreateButton($optbarAreas[$x], $X_Coord, 30, 150, 30)

Next

GUISetState()

Next

GUICtrlCreateTabItem(""); end tabitem definition

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$Msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit

For $i = 0 To UBound($Button) - 1

If $Msg = $Button[$i] Then

MsgBox(0, '$Msg = ' & $Msg, GuiCtrlRead($Button[$i]) & ' Pressed', 2)

EndIf

Next
