Help with Checkboxes

risen75 · June 19, 2008

OK i know this question has probably been answered about a million times already (and i've found a few of them that didn't quite get me where i need to be) but I'm having trouble with multiple checkboxes. Now I'm just trying to make a GUI frontend to an installation script for me and my friends. Worked fine w/o the gui, but I want to make it so that they can pick and choose which of the programs they want to instal.

Now the problems I'm having are this....

After showing the GUI i can check off the checkboxes, but when I'd go and hit the install button i'd get wierd errors (sorry i don't have them to post, i've rewritten the script so many times trying to debug it that i don't remember how it originally was) Now i've had the AhAA moment with reading the checkboxes...

But now when i run the script it just flashes up on the screen and then disappears...

Here's the current code... Please Help! Tell me what i'm doing wrong

Thank you in advance for the help.

Code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=F:\setups\Installergui.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Auto Installer", 252, 238, 332, 154)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Open Office", 24, 24, 105, 17)
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("mIRC", 24, 40, 105, 17)
$Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("FireFox", 24, 56, 105, 17)
$Checkbox4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("DivX", 24, 72, 105, 17)
$Checkbox5 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("XVid", 24, 88, 105, 17)
$Checkbox6 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Yahoo Messenger", 24, 104, 105, 17)
$Checkbox7 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Deamon Tools", 24, 120, 105, 17)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(24, 144, 193, 25)
$Checkbox8 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("DreamWeaver", 136, 24, 105, 17)
$Checkbox9 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Filezilla", 136, 40, 105, 17)
$Checkbox10 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Utorrent", 136, 56, 105, 17)

$Checkbox11 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("GIMP", 136, 72, 105, 17)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 112, 184, 65, 25, 0)

You forgot to set the loop

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=F:\setups\Installergui.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Auto Installer", 252, 238, 332, 154)
$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Open Office", 24, 24, 105, 17)
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("mIRC", 24, 40, 105, 17)
$Checkbox3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("FireFox", 24, 56, 105, 17)
$Checkbox4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("DivX", 24, 72, 105, 17)
$Checkbox5 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("XVid", 24, 88, 105, 17)
$Checkbox6 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Yahoo Messenger", 24, 104, 105, 17)
$Checkbox7 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Deamon Tools", 24, 120, 105, 17)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(24, 144, 193, 25)
$Checkbox8 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("DreamWeaver", 136, 24, 105, 17)
$Checkbox9 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Filezilla", 136, 40, 105, 17)
$Checkbox10 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Utorrent", 136, 56, 105, 17)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("What programs do you wish to install?", 24, 8, 182, 17)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 112, 184, 65, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "Install")

and perhaps a way to close EXIT?

risen75 · June 19, 2008

I know, I forgot to make it so that you can close it.. I was more worried about the rest of it working right... closing it is easy

But thank you guys for your help.. Tested it out (with adding the ability to close the program) and it's working fine.. now i just have to finish making all the other scripts for the programs (yes i like having it call other scripts, it just seems more organized to me that way)

What actually is the problem is that the program starts, then processes the commands that it has to do (create the gui). Then it goes on with the next command, when all commands are processed, the program will exit, just as you described.

What you want to achieve is that the program waits to find which function should be called, so after the creation of the gui, you should add something like:

While 1
