2 Action Button, Single Click vs Double Click

[Pike]

Hello Everyone,

New Guy here. This is a two-part question, hopefully easy enough though. I know it's ugly coding, this is because I have only a couple hours worth of coding experience and could really use some help.

1) When I single click the button I want one action (like playing a sound clip) and when I double click the button I want a different action (such as opening dialogue box to ask for soundclip directory address). At the bottom of the script I made a comment which one I would like single click versus double click.

2) I can not get the FileOpenDialogue to save the file address to the config.ini file at the 'One' position on the .ini.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you need anymore clarity as to what exactly I'm trying to do, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks so much!

@Pike,

First of all, Welcome to the forum...

Okay... I have this old sample code I just change some of it to our current version. Not sure what you wanted to do with IniWrite() but try experimenting my below code and check if that's what you need.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Dim $iTimer = 0, $iClickCount = 0, $CheckTime = 300

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 127, 57, 193, 115)
$OneID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 8, 8, 105, 33, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $OneID
            _HandleButton()
    EndSwitch
WEnd


Func _HandleButton()

    $iClickCount += 1
    $iTimer = TimerInit()

    AdlibRegister("CheckButtonPress", $CheckTime)

EndFunc

Func CheckButtonPress()

    If TimerDiff($iTimer) < $CheckTime Or $iTimer = 0 Then Return

    Switch $iClickCount
        Case 1
            MsgBox(0, "Clicked", "Clicked 1 time... Insert your code after this message.")
            ;Insert your code here for sound to play. don't have any sample in my computer right now....
        Case 2
         MsgBox(0, "Clicked", "Clicked 2 times, FileOpenDialog will execute...")
         Local $sFileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog(0, @ScriptDir & "\", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)|Videos (*.avi;*.mpg)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST + $FD_MULTISELECT)
         If @error Then
         MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "No file(s) were selected.")
         EndIf
;~       IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "NameOne", $OneID); not sure what do you want to happened in this part. please explain more and provide details.
    EndSwitch

    $iClickCount = 0
    AdlibUnRegister()

EndFunc

 

Let me know so I can do further assist.

First of all... thank you very much for replying. I'm learning here and it's a bit of curve being thrown at me on this first project. The code you presented is great as far as single versus double clicking on a button. I included some screenshots so you can see what I'm doing.

So when you look at the GUI, each button you see is supposed to play a sound clip designated to it in the config.ini file (when single clicked). If no file path is present in the config.ini then I can double click on the button and it will present a box (FileOpenDialog) so I can choose a file path (D:\Music\randomsong.mp3) to store in the config.ini. Once I do this I should be able to then single click the button and the sound clip would play.

You were asking what I was using the config.ini file for and it's for two things; storing the "TITLE" to display on the button, and storing the filepath for the soundclip (I included a screenshot of the config as well, so maybe to get a better idea).

Your code works great, but when I include my code it just doesn't work.

I don't want to have to go into the config.ini ever. I want to be able to control everything from the GUI. *Single click = SoundPlay... **Double Click = Choose file path for song clip

Here's the code I tried and for some reason it only allows me to perform one action and then the button does nothing. What do you think?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Dim $iTimer = 0, $iClickCount = 0, $CheckTime = 300

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 127, 57, 193, 115)
$OneID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 8, 8, 105, 33, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $OneID
            _HandleButton()
    EndSwitch
WEnd


Func _HandleButton()

    $iClickCount += 1
    $iTimer = TimerInit()

    AdlibRegister("CheckButtonPress", $CheckTime)

EndFunc

Func CheckButtonPress()

    If TimerDiff($iTimer) < $CheckTime Or $iTimer = 0 Then Return

    Switch $iClickCount
        Case 1
            $OneID = IniRead("config.ini", "Config", "One", $OneID)
               If $OneID = True Then
                  SoundPlay($OneID, @HotKeyPressed)
               EndIf
            ;Insert your code here for sound to play. don't have any sample in my computer right now....
        Case 2
         Local $sFileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog(0, @ScriptDir & "\", "All (*.*)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST + $FD_MULTISELECT)
            If True Then
               Local $Name1 = InputBox("Enter Information", "Shorthand Name of File?", "")
         EndIf
;~       IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "NameOne", $OneID);
         IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "One", $sFileOpenDialog)
         IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "NameOne", $Name1)
    EndSwitch

    $iClickCount = 0
    AdlibUnRegister()

EndFunc

Thank you for helping again!

@Pike,

I added some error checking to see if the functions are working and change some lines of your code.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Sound.au3>

Dim $iTimer = 0, $iClickCount = 0, $CheckTime = 300

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 127, 57, 193, 115)
$OneID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 8, 8, 105, 33, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $OneID
            _HandleButton()
    EndSwitch
WEnd


Func _HandleButton()

    $iClickCount += 1
    $iTimer = TimerInit()

    AdlibRegister("CheckButtonPress", $CheckTime)

EndFunc

Func CheckButtonPress()

    If TimerDiff($iTimer) < $CheckTime Or $iTimer = 0 Then Return

    Switch $iClickCount
        Case 1
            $SounID = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "One", $OneID)

            Local $aSound = _SoundOpen($SounID)
            If @error = 2 Then
               MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "The file does not exist")
            Exit
            Else
               MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Success", "The file opened successfully")
            EndIf
            _SoundPlay($SounID)
            _SoundClose($aSound)

        Case 2
         Local $sFileOpenDialog = FileOpenDialog(0, @ScriptDir & "\", "All (*.*)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST + $FD_MULTISELECT)
            If True Then
               Local $Name1 = InputBox("Enter Information", "Shorthand Name of File?", "")
         EndIf
         IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "One", $sFileOpenDialog)
         IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\config.ini", "Config", "NameOne", $Name1)
    EndSwitch

    $iClickCount = 0
    AdlibUnRegister()

EndFunc

Note: Not tested, I don't have any music in my office computer.

Thank you very much, I ran the script and it works great. I really appreciate the help. I'm going to perform some tweaking to fit my needs, but it's great! 

Take Care,
