Hi folks!!!

I´m trying to do a simple task that will be the basis for development of my work. Here is a sample of the code i wrote with te basic idea of what i was working on:

[engunneer]

you can start a second Gui, by replacing Gui, Add with Gui, 2:Add.

It may be more userfriendly to keep everything in one GUI, and using commands like GuiControl to change the values in subsequent gui elements.

Tnx engunner, the issue with a new GUI is solved, but somethig else is wrong now, no matter what choice i pick on the wishlist menu, the new GUI always shows me the options on the dropdownlist from the "CAR" subroutine.

Regarding the sugestion for keeping all in one GUI, i agree with you. But i had some hard times trying to figure out how to do it, since the first menu must be always available. If you could change my script to any sugestion of yours i would apreciate.

ist the script you posted everything??

Cause it hase neither a Gui, Submit line
nor does it use the same Var for ListBox and If-Statement.
And each of which would prevent the desired action

Hi Zed

I´ve corrected the variable issue but the trouble still stand.
About the Gui submit: i believe that is not necessary because of the gUpdate, so anytime i click on a listbox item it triggers the second gui again. Thats what i figured out about the gUpdate

Follows the code with the corrections:

I´m sorry, but you´re wrong about Gui, Submit!
You really really need it.
Gui, Submit will fill the choice1 Var with the selected listbox item. Without it stays empty, or at least unchanged.
check out: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Gui.htm#Submit


regarding your "adding different listboxes to the Gui" issue
i strongly suggest, to add just one more Listbox to the Gui
and fill it with different contents depending on the chice you made using GuiControl

here is a little example:

Txn Zed!!

I got the basic idea of what i was searching for. I ll go over some studies on gui submit to understand it completely (its function is not clearly for me yet).

Best Regards for all!!!

Hi Zed,

There's something driving me nuts about your example. What have you done for the VARS (below) apear in the DDM if you did not make any reference for them in the code?

CAR = |FORD|FIAT|GM
COMPUTER = |LG|SAMSUNG|PHILIPS
DIGITAL_TV = |HP|IBM|ASUS

I had read about GuiControl and Gui, Submit in the hotkey help, but i didn't get it yet. Could you provide me a clearly expanation abou it, using the example as model?

Sorry if im asking too much, but im new to this stuff. I work with computer networking and Telecoms, so im trying to learn some new tricks to help me with my routines at work.
