random numbers

[Arclite86]

I got this

case $random
$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
GUICtrlSetData($Input,$random)

but I want to chance the number everytime I hit the "case $random" button

I have looked it up in the help file but could not find what i was looking for

Hmm, are you running a GUI in a While loop? There's no GUI or button created in the code you posted. Take a look at some simple GUI examples with buttons. If that doesn't solve your problem, then post the rest of your code so we can see where you are going wrong.

yes sorry this is the full script:

$random = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 520, 392, 41, 25)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)

case $random
    $random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input,$random)

and it work but when i hit the random button I get the number 547 ( for example) and when  i hit the button agian I get the number 547  it stays on the same number and i dont want that

Where's your loop.  Where's your gui creation.

Im now trying to do something like this:

$random = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 520, 392, 41, 25)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)

case $random
    Local $i = 1
While $i
$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input7,$random)
WEnd

but when i push the button now the numbers in the input are going crazy

you are defining $random as both a random number and a button name, change the button or the variable name and it will work.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Random", 1000, 500)
$random = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 350, 392, 41, 25)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            ExitLoop
        Case $random
            $random1 = Random(0, 1000, 1)
            GUICtrlSetData($Input, $random1)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That is NOT a working script, you have a Case statement with no Switch or Select statement around it, your random function is inside the while loop. You've got no GUI to attach this to.

Basically you've screwed up in every possible way and you need to get offline and read the help file and stop posting such nonsense on the forum until you have a grasp of at least the basics of the language.

its not about if the script is working, I already told the script works I just dindt shown the whole script

its about this part

case $random

    Local $i = 1
While $i
$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input7,$random)
WEnd

BrewManNh every comment I see of you on my post is only about  the help file, I already told that I have looked at it

if you dont like my topics than dont post on it.

I'd like to fix your code.  It would be litteraly 2 variables.

You are not providing working code though, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

ok here is the full script.

GUICreate("forum", 775, 488, 226, 237)
$random = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 520, 392, 41, 25)
$Input7 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
   $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg


case $random


$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input7,$random)


 EndSwitch
WEnd

[jdelaney]

thank you...my 2 variable changes:

GUICreate("forum", 775, 488, 226, 237)
$random_button = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 520, 392, 41, 25)
$Input7 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
   $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg


case $random_button


$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input7,$random)


 EndSwitch
WEnd

I suppose that one didn't work for you?

[BrewManNH]

yes sorry this is the full script:

$random = GUICtrlCreateButton("random", 520, 392, 41, 25)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 560, 392, 49, 21)

    GUICtrlSetData($Input,$random)

Explain the above post with the quote at the top of this reply. Either that's your whole script or it's not, you can't have it both ways.

 

case $random

    Local $i = 1
While $i
$random = Random(0, 1000,1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input7,$random)
WEnd

Really? I see no evidence you even have a copy of the help file from the nonsense you keep posting, this topic is just one example of that.

 

Basically you've screwed up in every possible way and you need to get offline and read the help file and stop posting such nonsense on the forum until you have a grasp of at least the basics of the language.

I'm trying to help the forum out by helping YOU out.

• Read the help file, really read it not just look up names of functions to use
• post WORKING code, and not snippets you think explain what you think is the problem
• Reread the help file when your code doesn't work the first time
• If you post a question, read the answers you're given because Palestinian explained where part of your problem was
