GUI Button function w/ autoit

kk im a newbie at makin bots but heres the code i have now...
okay im a TOTAL newb at making stuff with autoit, so far i can only make simple things with clicking and what not...but i ran into a problem today. my bot creates a gui that instructs you on how to use the bot, what i need help with is how to create a hotkey that "Starts" the bot(the opposite of the exiting hotkey)
HotKeySet("^!x", "QuitProg")
Func QuitProg()
Exit
EndFunc
thats the exit hotkey that i got, but i was wondering if its possible to reverse it, and have a 2nd code like dat but it starts instead of exits....ty

From what I know of Win32, you have to handle the WM_COMMAND message for the button.(Windows will throw the message when the button is pushed) You'll have to assign the buttons ID and etc, and when you handle the WM_COMMAND message, check if it's the ID of the button and then execute your next code.

Don't ask how to do it in AutoIt though...


Edit:: Woah, you totally changed the first post....
I dunno anything about AutoIt so I guess ask swords or Hiyoal..

rofl thanks for trying to help but you Totally lost me, it seems like it should be simple as hell becuase its just simply like this:
Person clicks the button then it should endswitch/closewindow and then move onto the next line..wich is the bot

Ok. So are you using another hotkey for this?! Or are you using the same hotkey?

Hiyoal

no, ctrl+alt+x = exit script
and, ctrl+alt+z = start

i was thinking..is there a way that when you start the script from clicking it, it automatically pauses the script untill a hotkey is executed such as my "start"(ctr+alt+z)??

Until the GUI Pops up?!
Lets have a look at your script.

Hiyoal

okay well since your here now and your wonderfull help i hope you wouldnt mind awnser another question at the same time :P
but heres my script

This script is to where a msg pops up with instructions, you minimize it and then press the hotkey CTRL+ALT+Z,(Idont have that part in yet becuase i dont know how to make it)
and heres a simple question i have, its the same script just instead its worked with a button instead of a hotkey to start it..
the problem with this bot is that when i click the button nothing happends, the "Window(gui)" that pops up dosnt go away when i click on $Button1 AkA Start...i dont know how to make it move onto the next part of the script thnx 4 ure help

Lol, Ok. Ill start off with the basics :p
Start off with #Include <> at the START OF YOUR SCRIPT!!!

A HotKeySet() Function does not need to be declared with a function underneath.

You can set however many hotkeys at the start of your script.

Now, for the GUI.

You cannot have 2 While loops happening at once. The first one from top to bottom of the script will run first, so your:

Quote:

While 1 MouseClick() jadslkfja;f Wend

That will never happen unless the first WHile loop is exitted using Exitloop.


You dont have anything which the button does.

Switch looks at the variable $nMsg and checks to see if it changes.
If $button1 is clicked, $nMsg=$button1 sooo

Switch will move down to:
Case $button1

If their is one.

So, if you want those button clicks, you should do this.

I have also declared the variable $checker=0 GLOBALLY so that it can be used throughout the whole script.

Then you should write the While function so the script stays alive:

Next we add the function for clicking the button and we make our own Function which loops clicking.

When the button is clicked, $checker is set to "1" and then the function "StartFunc" is called because in the:
While 1

Wend

loop, it checks to see if $checker=1 and will keep on running until the button on the GUI is pressed again.
Because, when $x=1 when button1 is pressed, it checks to see what $checker is and if it is 0 then it starts the bot, otherwise it see's whether $checker=1 and if it is then it makes it ="0" and will skip the:

If $checker=1 Then
StartProg()
EndIf

because $checker=0

Hope thats some insight.

Hiyoal

oh snap, im not gonna lie i dont understand half of that. but from what i do understand, i understand what you did with the ctrl+alt+z, i also found out another way for this to work..
so basically once they click start it just hides the gui and stops the switch, and they go on to pressing ctrl+alt+z to start the bot...! right? lol

Btw is there a way that i can loop this function, after you click ctrl+alt+z
sorry if i wasted your time, id rather do it this way becuase i actually understand it sort of lol :x:handsdown:

Or, you can start the bot from clicking aswell.

Hiyoal

<edit>

Yes you can:

Declare Global $checker=0 at the start of your script

This checks and see's whether $checker=1 or 0. If it equals to 0 then it makes $checker=1 and the while loop starts because $checker=1. When the hotkey is pressed again $checker=1 so it makes $checker=0 and the while stops, because While only runs when $checker=1.

Hiyoal

oky fixed my hotkey situation Thanks alot Hiyoal, i spent a long time on this last nightl; just trying to get the gui function to work, it now works exacally how i want it, when i repost it ill make sure to give you credit :)

Np, glad 2 help. Hope i taught u something aswell :p
