GUI beginner attempt, cash register

[FireFox]

What's the minimum number of GUI-s that would require GUISetState with array?

The array is only for the return values of GUIGetMsg WITH the advanced mode, read the helpfile again and again.

 

Edano did on the first page a script with 2 GUI-s, but no arrays.

 

Means 3 require an array?

I don't see that. And no, it has nothing to deal with how many GUIs you are using but the way you use the GUIGetMsg function and if you are using the event mode or not.

Br, FireFox.

All I can see is that you are making assumptions on functions without reading the helpfile for them; try the examples to see how it works.

Ok I go read again.

This ok? http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Managing_Multiple_GUIs

What happens when function ends? Does it continue at that line, or it returns 1 step after we started the function?

Example... What's the next that happens here?

.....
.....
......
bla bla bla

While 1
Switch bla bla bla
Case bla bla
func()
Msgbox (1)     <------------
EndSwitch
WEnd

Func func()
bla bla bla
EndFunc
Msgbox (2)     <-----------

After the function ends, will I get the msgbox 1 or 2? 

1 right?

This is the script from that page:

     $hButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Msgbox 1", 10, 10, 80, 30)
     $hButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show Gui 2", 10, 60, 80, 30)
     GUISetState()

     While 1
         $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1) ; Use advanced parameter to get array
         Switch $aMsg[1] ; check which GUI sent the message
             Case $hGUI1
                 Switch $aMsg[0] ; Now check for the messages for $hGUI1

The [0] isnt decleared, only [1], but it works.

You will always get the first message box because you're inside the While loop with no way out of it. MsgBox 2 will never execute because of this. When a function ends, it returns back to the main program. EndFunc acts like the Return statement.

Ok, so, we have 

$msg[0]

and 

$msg[1]

Why doesn't it work if I put $msg[2] in the 3. GUI (storehouse)? 

Don't I need a new array value for each new GUI?

My question rocks, I know, thank you, oh boy, now I'm all blushing and shy....  

[CroatianPig]

Please, all suggests and advices are welcome !

In case it looks ugly, I KNOW, I wanted to make something work for the first time, then put decorations.

Read the helpfile (yeah again). An index does NOT correspond to a GUI except the index 1.

Dude, you are like a Jesus, seriously.

But not the way you think.

Jesus needed to help the man who was hungry, so instead of giving him a fish and feeding him for the day, he showed him how to catch a fish, and fed him for a lifetime.

So please, for once, dont be a Jesus, be a human, and answer my question 

[BrewManNH]

When using the "advanced" parameter the information is returned in an array with extended information:

$aArray[0] = 0 or Event ID or Control ID

$aArray[1] = The window handle the event is from <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

$aArray[2] = The control handle the event is from (if applicable)

$aArray[3] = The current X position of the mouse cursor (relative to the GUI window)

$aArray[4] = The current Y position of the mouse cursor (relative to the GUI window)

[CroatianPig]

Ok, I thought to make a table in the warehouse GUI...

I've been to this link:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

, downloaded table.au3 and the script, worked, but then I saw the code of the table... OH MY GOD !

It looks like 20 pages of coding...

How to start it?

Any good link (youtube, page, forum thread) as to how to start table from 0, I mean for a beginner...

Edited September 4, 2013 by CroatianPig

[jaberwacky]

I haven't been following this thread so if you'll excuse me.  Have you used a ListView?  It'll do a table of sorts and is much easier to figure out.

[CroatianPig]

Well, actually I would need a table in which I could put endless number of items (in rows), and so I could delete or edit any of them, which would be saved in .ini file.

It should have like 10 columns (code, name, quantity, buying price, selling price, tax percentage, special mark,...).

How should I start that?

[jaberwacky]

Start by creating the listview.

GUICtrlCreateListView("Column1|Column2|ColumnN", $left, $top, $width, $height)

Then use GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem(...) to add rows.

[CroatianPig]

Start by creating the listview.

GUICtrlCreateListView("Column1|Column2|ColumnN", $left, $top, $width, $height)

Then use GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem(...) to add rows.

 

Is it possible to have theoretically endless number of products, which I would enter?

Because using GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem(...) seems as if I would have to program each row?

Let's say, I have 400 products all together, and often I must put new products in.

And should I do it in my script:

or a separate "table" file?

You can have ...CreateListViewItem insert as many rows as is needed when ever you need.  They can also be removed too by another similar function.  Columns may be added and removed as is needed.  You can load a text file into a loop and create this list dynamically.  Or you can have an input box which adds rows when things are typed into the input box.  Really, what you want to do is possible.  It may not be easy for a beginner but it is possible.  Get started on something and come back with questions.

Just a thought ... as jaberwocky said why not have a plain text pipe-delimited text file containing your inventory?  You could then use any text editor to maintain it and the program could read the contents of the file into the ListView when it starts up.  As long as you don't complicate things with trying to maintain that text file within your cash register program this would be a fairly easy and flexible fix.  Of course you'd have to do any inventory maintenance (for now, until you get inspired to code it ) via a simple text editor ... but I've used this method for thousands of records and it's a good way to do things as simply as possible.
