Help with IniRead

[Hansio]

I can not really work it out this.

config.ini
[Section]
Hide=Hide
 
.au3
$var1 = IniRead("config.ini", "Section", "Hide", "NotFound")
Control & $var1("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]"

try:

$var1 = IniRead("config.ini", "Section", "Hide", "NotFound")
msgbox(0, "INI File", 'in section "hide" there is "' & $var1 & '" as the value")

as your code

I believe that in order for the AutoIt INI functions to work, there must be a named section in the .ini file. So your config.ini may have to look like this

[section]

Hide=Hide

What I want is to replace ControlHide with ControlShow through my ini file

What it does is to hide my desktop icons

ControlHide("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]")

It is there already, I had just forgotten to write it here

If $var = "Hide" Then
    ControlHide("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]")
ElseIf $var = "Show" Then
    ControlShow("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Value not found in INI file.")
EndIf

    ControlHide("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]")
ElseIf $var = "Show" Then
    ControlShow("Program Manager", "", "[CLASSNN:SHELLDLL_DefView1]")

    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Value not found in INI file.")
EndIf

It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you! :-)
