Checkbox needed to run other auto it scripts

[vincepr0]

I'm not really "pro" at scripting yet, but I am starting to learn.

I need an auto it script where when you run it, it will give a list of checkboxes that point to other auto it scripts. From there if I select 5 checkboxes, it will start by the first checkbox to run an auto it script (wait for it to finish) then run the 2nd and so forth...

I grabbed this from another forum below and have tried using this to run other .au3 script files. However, it does not do anything when I select the checkboxes.... Help?

When talking your script, selecting the first 2 checkboxes and clicking  "Start" it nicely gives:

Running: C:\Users\villarrealv\desktop\1\wylie-ccw.au3
Running: C:\Users\villarrealv\desktop\1\PA-CCM.au3

.. but of course only when running SciTE in Adminmode or taking #requireadmin out.

Yes, but it does not actually run the .au3 script. nothing happens...

[Jos]

There is not enough information to comment as you indicated they are exe's so can only imagine they will run.

Jos

[careca]

Might be a silly question but, did you uncomment the line that runs the script?

;RunWait($aApps[$i])

Also, when you double click any script, what happens? does it run, or opens to edit?

[vincepr0]

I am pretty sure this script is setup for .exe's only. These auto it scripts are .au3 files.

 

I also removed the uncomment line, but still it does absolutely nothing when I click start. Test it out on your end with a sample .au3 script file and change the path to yours. It is not working on my end.

[Jos]

Please do me/us a favor (and yourself) and explain what you really want to run so we understand what you are trying to do.
So show some exact code that can we played with.

as I recall, somebody here actually created an application store in AutoIt and said his company had used it for years. this could solve all your problems. he uploaded the code. one file.

OK I am going to be as simple as possible since i've caused confusion.

What I need is:

3 checkboxes

each checkbox points to another auto it .au3 script that will be ran if checked. And if you check more than one, it will wait for the 1st to finish then run the 2nd.

This is all I need. I can add more checkboxes with what someone gives me...

*****and a "Start Button of course along with checkboxes*****

I understood as much in your first post, but you still haven't shown us any code that isn't working.
Guess I am repeating myself  here, but it's my last try.

Jos this was from my very first post. As I stated before, this does not do anything at all. It does bring up all the checkboxes, but when I check the first one which points to wylie-ccw.au3, it does not run it as it should.

 

[Jos]

So why do you think it should run? an AU3 file in not an executable so it needs another executable file, autoit3.exe, to be executed.
When using CMD.exe and the default for .au3 is set to open with autoit3.exe, it might run properly.

so either use ShellExecuteWait() or change the array to:

$aApps[0] = @comspec & " /c C:\Users\villarrealv\desktop\1\wylie-ccw.au3"

-or for using RunWait() to:

$aApps[0] = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\Users\villarrealv\desktop\1\wylie-ccw.au3"'
