Yup I got about that far and figured out that I have a few reasons I'm not a gui person..

1. I get all scrambled and confused reading the help file under the gui section
2. The above took me 3ish hours to get (I now understand the usefulness of the smart gui creator)

SO...
what I'm trying to do is create a program that will audit (for lack of a nicer word) the files in
1. the current user
2. the program files
3. a full system listing

I have created the script for the full system audit already..


(That took me about 15min plus a soda run and smoke break )

and that works gr8 if I put it in its own file with the splashtexton but, the problem with that is that it is displaying all the filenames and it took 18.9 minutes to gather the filenames of 37700 files.

Basically here's what I'm looking to do.

1. Getting the "Audit!" (i.e. OK) button working
2. Getting the script to recognize what checks are checked
i. Plus if the "Full System" one is checked I want it to uncheck the other two if they are checked
3. I can get the "Hidden Audit" to work I THINK!!
i. Gui, Hide ; Is that right?
4. Creating subroutiens for the different checkboxes
5. Speed it up somehow (200 names/sec would be awsome LOL)

Sorry for such a long and mixed up post.. this is my absolute VERY first GUI I'm making, well, trying to make with AHK.. if there's need for clarification just ask and perhaps by then my brain will have gotten rid of its charlie-horse

You might already know that when the user presses a button, that button's subroutine is launched. If you don't assign particular g-label to the button, by default "ButtonAudit!" will be used:

ButtonAudit!:
MsgBox You pressed the button.
return

Generally, each checkbox should have an associated variable. You can do this by including the letter v followed by the variable name in each checkbox's options. For example:

Gui, Add, Checkbox, vCheckProgramFiles x6 y40 w90 h20, Program Files ; button3

Then later, when you do a "Gui Submit", the variable CheckProgramFiles will contain 1 if the box was checked or 0 if not. You can also use GuiControlGet to fetch a checkbox individually:

Yes, that would hide the window.

You need a subroutine only if you want some action to occur the instant the user clicks the box.

ControlSetText has a delay after each usage. You can do SetControlDelay -1 at the top of the script to eliminate the delay. You can also add SetBatchLines -1 at the top of the script to have it run faster.
