Dynamic Checkboxes


Go to solution Solved by BrewManNH,

I am attempting to write script with a gui to install network printers.  I have it set up to read the printer names from an .ini file and to create check boxes for each printer.  I can't seem to figure out how to see what boxes are checked and do something with the printer name next to the checked box.  Clicking the button does pop up a message box so I know it goes to the function, but my IF statement is completely skipped and I'm not sure how to make this work.  All help is greatly appreciated.  

 

Current Script

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1)
Opt("GUICoordMode",0)

Global $Printers = IniRead("settings.ini","Printers","PrinterList","NotFound")
Global $printarr = StringSplit ($Printers, ",")
Global $iPrinternumber = UBound($printarr) - 1
Global $box[$printarr[0] + 1]



GUICreate("Printer Installer", 400, 400)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_CLOSEClicked")

For $i = 1 To $iPrinternumber 
     
   $box[$i]= GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($printarr[$i],-1, 20)
     
Next

$InstallButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Install Selected", 160, 30)
GUIctrlSetOnEvent($InstallButton, "_PrinterInstall")


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _CLOSEClicked ()
   Exit
EndFunc

Func _PrinterInstall ()

For $i = 1 To $iPrinternumber

   If GUICtrlGetState($box[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
      
      MsgBox(0,$box[$i],$box[$i] & " has been selected.")
      
   Else
      
      
   EndIf
   
     
next
 MsgBox(0,"Test", "Button has been clicked")

EndFunc

The .ini file contents

[Printers]
PrinterList = Printer 1, Printer 2, Printer3, Printer 4, New_Test_printer

Try this change in your _PrinterInstall function

Func _PrinterInstall()
    For $i = 1 To $iPrinternumber
        If GUICtrlRead($box[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then ;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
            MsgBox(0, $printarr[$i], $printarr[$i] & " has been selected."); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        Else
        EndIf
    Next
    MsgBox(0, "Test", "Button has been clicked")
EndFunc   ;==>_PrinterInstall

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

That did the Trick.  Thank You.
