Good evening, users!
I have these two (prototype) gui scripts:

Code:
Gui, Font, S11 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, Text,, How many boxes for this shipment?
Gui, Add, Edit, vBoxes, 1 ; Input the number of boxes
Gui, Add, ComboBox, vTipo , Door-to-Station||Door-to-Door ; service type
Gui, Add, Button, default, OK
Gui, Show, , Shipments
return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit


The number of edit boxes and check boxes in this second gui should depend on the number of boxes inputes in the control Edit in the second gui. If the user has enter 2 boxes, the the second gui should look like this:

Code:
Gui, Font, S11 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, CheckBox, vCheck1, Oversized?
Gui, Add, CheckBox, vCheck2, Oversized?
Gui, Add, Edit, ym vBox1,
Gui, Add, Edit, vBox2,
Gui, Add, Button, default, OK
Gui, Show, , Boxes (Weight in Pounds)
Return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit

GuiClose:
ExitApp


How can I code the first script so that it will generate as many checkboxes and edit controls as it is inputed?

Thanks, edu.

If the 2 guis are in the same program, you can do the following, after he picks the number of edit boxes in the first GUI and pressing OK, the second GUI would activate and within the adding of controls to the second GUI, you can do the following...

Code:
GUI, submit, nohide
loop %Boxes%
{
gui2, add, edit, vbox%A_index%
}


Make sure to give the second gui a new id, like gui2.

Also, in my snippet, to access the values of each edit boxes, the variables are box1, box2, box3, etc..

Thanks for your help so far. But I developed this code and I get an error:
Code:
Gui, Font, S11 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, Text,, How many boxes for this shipment?
Gui, Add, Edit, vBoxes, 1 ; Input the number of boxes
Gui, Add, ComboBox, vTipo , Door-to-Station||Door-to-Door ; service type
Gui, Add, Button, default, OK
Gui, Show, , Shipments
return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit, NoHide
Loop %Boxes%
{
Gui2, add, edit, vpack%A_index% ; <== Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.
Gui2, Add, CheckBox, vCheck%A_index%, Oversized?
}
Gui2, Add, Button, default, OK
Gui2, Show, , Boxes (Weight in Pounds)
Return

ButtonOK:
Gui2, Submit

GuiClose:
ExitApp


Also how can I make sure that there will be 2 columns, with the checkbox beside the edit box?

Replace:
Code:
Gui2,

With:
Code:
Gui, 2:


e.g. "Gui2, Add" -> "Gui, 2:Add"

Edited: I posted in response to a question regarding how to put the info from Gui2 in a file. It appears that the post was deleted just before I replied.


Just before ExitApp you can write the info to a file similar to this:
Code:
Loop % Boxes
   FileAppend, % (A_Index . "," . A_Now . "," . pack%A_Index% . "," . Check%A_Index% . "`n"), C:\YourFileNameHere.ext

This presumes you want to know when the data was entered (%A_Now%) and want to also keep track of the package (A_Index), the weight (pack%A_Index%), and if it is oversized (Check%A_Index%). This uses a comma delimiter but obviously you can change that if you want to. You also could format the date/time as you see fit by choosing other "A_ " built in variables and stringing them together.

To test without writing to a file you just use a MsgBox:
Code:
   MsgBox, % (A_Index . "," . A_Now . "," . pack%A_Index% . "," . Check%A_Index% . "`n")

Thanks, dmatch, for the quick reply. That is exactly what I was trying to accomplish. I'm new to AHK but I'm learning fast.
