Hi AutoIT team and members,
 
I would need some urgent help here. I am stuck at a point and have spent huge time trying to correct my script but I am unable to do so. would appriciate if anyone can get my codes corrected and provide me the way I am looking for.

 

What I am looking here is:

1. When I select the 1st drop down, it should show the list of options.

2. When I select from the list of options it should put the messages to the right side of the screen with the steps and Checkboxes.

I'm able to do these 2 steps.

3. Now the things I am not able to do are:

  • If I would select 1 or more than 1 checkboxes and click on Copy to Clipboard then it should copy the Text in the checkboxes so I can paste those steps somewhere as:

Step 1

Step 4

Step 10

  • I haven't included the Select All button here but if I would select the Select All button then it should select all the checkboxes. And then I can select the Copy to Clipboard button to Copy the checked boxes.

 

Can someone please help me get this fixed?

You should build your checkboxes like this

Local $checkboxes[10]
For $i = 0 to 9
    $checkboxes[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox" & $i+1, 504, 184 + (40*$i), 97, 17)
Next

and check the states like this

$states = ""
For $i = 0 to 9
    If GuiCtrlRead($checkboxes[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then $states &= "step " & $i+1 & @crlf
Next
Msgbox(0,"", $states)

or 

for $Checkbox1 to $Checkbox10
  If GuiCtrlRead($checkboxes[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then $states &= "step " & $i+1 & @crlf
Next
 Msgbox(0,"", $states)

also can create your  Copy_to_Clipboard GUICtrlCreateButton out of your $Button1 event. hide it. when $Button1 is pressed showit and use the code below in your Clipboard GUICtrlCreateButton event.

Also, you should really implement mikell's suggestion for using an array for the checkbox control ids.  This will make it much easier to handle them later in code.

kylomas

edit: took a closer look at your code.  I think your implementation can be improved, if I understand what you are trying to do.  In particular, if you are going to have varying events (checkboxes) based on selectioins then you may want to externalize that data (ini file, etc).

Also, what are the four combo controls for?

sunshinesmile84,

Proof of concept externalizing the data for a check list and generating checklists based on varying criteria...

        guictrlsetstate($aCHK[$1-1][0],$gui_show)
    next

    guictrlsetstate($Sub_BTN,$gui_show)

endfunc

Limitations:

ini file capacity = 32K (I think but can't find it in the Help file right now)

number of tasks on checklist max of 30 (as currently coded)

max length of task description field = 55 (as currently coded) 

 

This is the ini file that I used for this demo task.txt.  It has a .TXT extention because ew can not upload ini type files.  It will work as is.

If this is not what you are going after you may find some of the techniques useful.

You should build your checkboxes like this

Local $checkboxes[10]
For $i = 0 to 9
    $checkboxes[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox" & $i+1, 504, 184 + (40*$i), 97, 17)
Next
and check the states like this

$states = ""
For $i = 0 to 9
    If GuiCtrlRead($checkboxes[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then $states &= "step " & $i+1 & @crlf
Next
Msgbox(0,"", $states)

Hi,

 

I have tried your step here but I am getting errors for the Case close is wrong. Attaching the new codes here with the errors in Red... Could you please help me in reaalying the codes correctly.

While 1

                $Label6 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("First issue", 480, 136, 1393, 29)
                GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")

You changed the one line If/Then statement into 2 lines without using an EndIf to close the If statement, that's why you're getting an error. Either add an EndIf before the Next statement, or put it back to one line.

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.

You changed the one line If/Then statement into 2 lines without using an EndIf to close the If statement, that's why you're getting an error. Either add an EndIf before the Next statement, or put it back to one line.

I changed it to one line and it got compiled without any errors. But screen closes with a flash. It doesn't launch at all.

You declare $checkbox array in one switch case. If that case doesn't trigger, it doesn't exist. If the 2nd case executes prior to the first - it will bomb out.

understand and I got that part working. But I am back to square one now. I got the codes as they should be but when I select any or multiple checkboxes the clipboard button doesn't do anything. Rather the msgbox comes up as blank when I select the dropdown.

I understand you now. You do not have $Copy_to_Clipboard defined in the GUI While loop. So when you click on it, nothing happens as nothing has been defined to happen.

Basically, you need to add another case statement for that function.

If I put the $Copy_to_Clipboard as another case then it again throws me the IF closed before error.

It is implortant for me to get this by tomorrow and I am scratching my codes here. Could you please get my codes outlined and paste here. Greatly appriciated your time.

You should build your checkboxes like this

Local $checkboxes[10]
For $i = 0 to 9
    $checkboxes[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox" & $i+1, 504, 184 + (40*$i), 97, 17)
Next

and check the states like this

$states = ""
For $i = 0 to 9
    If GuiCtrlRead($checkboxes[$i]) = $GUI_CHECKED Then $states &= "step " & $i+1 & @crlf
Next
Msgbox(0,"", $states)

Hi Mikell,

Could you please check the code?

sunshinesmile84,

I understand that this is important to you, however, this is a volunteer forum and as such the members help at their pleasure.  You have been given adequate help to solve each problem if you do a little digging yourself.  Moreover, I wrote a demo for you, despite the lack of answers to my questions because the problem interested me.

However, now it is time for you to "get wet".  The questions that you are asking are syntactical in nature and easily answered by the Help file.  You will find that the more effort you expend the more help you will get.

Please review ALL of the thread, try the examples.  As I indicated earlier, I believe that your design is flawed.  Maybe you should start back at the beginning by explaining what it is you are trying to do.

Good Luck,

kylomas

BTW - kylomas is absolutely right. Most of this has been minor syntax errors. SciTe does a great job of telling you where the error is and what caused it. From there a bit of research should lead you to your answer.
