Some code would be nice.. or are we to make the example for you?

A short example will be good. Thanks.

I just want to prevent the user from clicking a button and executing it for multiple times at the same time.

I'm not going to write the example out... you should have made a gui and had us show you from there.

1. make a global variable something like $nClickButtonCount = 0

2. make your gui

3. in your condition statement for the button, make another conditional statement

If $nClickButtonCount = 0 Then
   ;Do your action
   $nClickButtonCount = 1
Else
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "I told you moron, only once!")
   ;Or you could do something and then say $nClickButtonCount = 0
EndIf

In your code for when they click it, add a GUICtrlSetState($control, $GUI_DISABLE) at the top, and when you finish, add a GUICtrlSetState($control, $GUI_ENABLE). Of course, $control is the id of your button.

Hi,

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("RunErrorsFatal", 0)

Global $pID, $State

$Gui = GUICreate("Disable Button", 290, 265, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$RunButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Notepad", 10, 10, 80, 30)
$KillButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Kill Notepad", 100, 10, 80, 30)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            If ProcessExists($pID) Then ProcessClose($pID)
            Exit
        Case $msg = $RunButton
            $pID = Run(@SystemDir & "\notepad.exe")
            If Not @error Then 
                GUICtrlSetState($RunButton, $GUI_DISABLE)
                GUICtrlSetState($KillButton, $GUI_ENABLE)
                $State = 1
            EndIf   
        Case $msg = $KillButton
            ProcessClose($pID)
            GUICtrlSetState($RunButton, $GUI_ENABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState($KillButton, $GUI_DISABLE)
            $State = 0
    EndSelect
    If Not ProcessExists($pID) And $State = 1 Then 
        GUICtrlSetState($RunButton, $GUI_ENABLE)
        GUICtrlSetState($KillButton, $GUI_DISABLE)
        $State = 0
    EndIf   
WEnd

Cheers

wow nice bro, but this is my question.. how can this script detect that the notepad.exe i running? and when it detected the running notepad, the button is disabled even they open another process the same with this application?
