Buttons

[Sublime]

O_o this may sound strange but here we go:

how do you set a button up to get the state of say 20 or so checkboxes than perform the actions for each.

Here they are if you were wondering:

$Checkbox_5 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("A", 10, 90, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_6 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("B", 10, 110, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_7 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("C", 10, 130, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_8 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("D", 10, 150, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_9 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("E", 10, 170, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_10 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("F", 10, 190, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_11 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("F", 10, 210, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_12 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("G", 10, 230, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_13 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("H", 10, 250, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_14 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("I", 10, 270, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_15 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("J", 10, 290, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_16 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("K", 140, 90, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_17 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("L", 140, 110, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_18 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("M", 140, 130, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_19 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("N", 140, 150, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_20 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("O", 140, 170, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_21 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("P", 140, 190, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_23 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("R", 140, 210, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_24 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("S", 140, 230, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_25 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("T", 140, 250, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_26 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("U", 140, 270, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_27 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("V", 140, 290, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_28 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("W", 270, 90, 30, 20)
$Checkbox_29 = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox("X", 270, 110, 30, 20)

I'll assume by "state" of the checkbox you mean whether it is checked or not.

For your code exactly how it is, this should work:

$msg = ""
For $i = 5 to 29
    $msg &= "Checkbox " & $i & " state: " & GUICtrlRead (Eval ("Checkbox_" & $i)) & @CRLF
Next
MsgBox (0, "State - 1 is checked, 4 is unchecked", $msg)

Uses beta for &=, change to $msg = $msg & ... for production.

You could also turn the checkbox vars into an array and make accessing them simpler.

Edit - this is how to check the state of each one. To attach it to a button, put it in the GUIGetMsg() loop (if you have one), or set a GUI Event to point to that function. In order to do something if a certain checkbox is checked, just use if statements where applicable.

Your code could be more efficient if you used loops for creating large scopes like this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3
; == GUI generated with Koda ==);
Dim $Checkbox[30]
$Main = GUICreate("", 405, 400)
For $i = 1 To 24
    If $i < 12 Then
        $Checkbox[$i + 4] = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox(Chr(64 + $i), 10, 70 + ($i * 20), 30, 20)
    ElseIf $i < 23 Then
        $Checkbox[$i + 4] = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox(Chr(64 + $i), 140, 70 + (($i - 11) * 20), 30, 20)
    ElseIf $i > 22 Then
        $Checkbox[$i + 4] = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox(Chr(64 + $i), 270, 70 + (($i - 22) * 20), 30, 20)
    EndIf
Next


GUISetState()
While GUIGetMsg() <> - 3
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
