 |
|
For several days I've only been getting very vague replies, so let's make this as broad as possible.
Has anyone ever a made window of ANY kind in AHK in which user can edit data of ANY kind. What's the code for a window like that? |

From the documentation...
| Code: | ; Example: A simple input-box that asks for first name and last name:
Gui, Add, Text,, First name:
Gui, Add, Text,, Last name:
Gui, Add, Edit, vFirstName ym ; The ym option starts a new column of controls.
Gui, Add, Edit, vLastName
Gui, Add, Button, default, OK ; The label ButtonOK (if it exists) will be run when the button is pressed.
Gui, Show,, Simple Input Example
return ; End of auto-execute section. The script is idle until the user does something.
GuiClose:
ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit ; Save the input from the user to each control's associated variable.
MsgBox You entered "%FirstName% %LastName%".
ExitApp |

I've run your example, but sorry, I would like the user to be able to EDIT, not enter data.
An example of editing data is, the user sees
Cost: 500
Taxes: 100
Shipping: 80
and decides to change the cost from 500 to 600. That's just one example,
any other example of EDITING (not entering) data is also of interest to me. |

Well, read AHK's Help about Gui, Add, Edit and how to set a default value within the edit field. If the user should select from a set of predefined values and should be able to edit such a value, check the combobox command. |

I guess that's a solution, but when you're inputting with a default value, it doesn't feel the same as editing. For example, imagine if a spreadsheet were all input fields with default values. It sure would feel different from editing data. |

from help (fileselectfile)
| Code: |
FileSelectFile, SelectedFile, 3, , Open a file, Text Documents (*.txt; *.doc)
if SelectedFile =
MsgBox, The user didn't select anything.
else
MsgBox, The user selected the following:`n%SelectedFile%
|
from help (gui -> add -> edit)
| Code: |
Gui, Add, Edit, R20 vMyEdit
FileRead, FileContents, C:\My File.txt
GuiControl,, MyEdit, %FileContents%
|
those two together end up like this:
| Code: |
FileSelectFile, SelectedFile, 3, , Open a file, Text Documents (*.txt)
if SelectedFile =
MsgBox, The user didn't select anything.
else
{
Gui, Add, Edit, R20 vMyEdit
FileRead, FileContents, %SelectedFile%
GuiControl,, MyEdit, %FileContents%
Gui, Show
}

I like it a lot. Is there any way to bring up the editing mode with a button click and have it normally be static text (like in an error message or something)
Thanks again. |

If you are after some more advanced editing (i.e., code) you may want to try HiEditor, which majkinetor has integrated. Do a forum search.
Also, I'd like to know if someone has found an easy way to do simple spreadsheet-like things. I have found this component but that's a bit too much. |
