 Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 9:25 pm Post subject: Dynamic GUI, with a user defined 'check box' grid: |
 |
|
I am trying to find some terms or a starting point for a new idea I am working on. I've looked around under using a number of terms/words without luck. What is this called, where should I start looking?
Idea:
I want to make my GUI display a grid of check boxes- after a user has made a number of pre-set choises. The width and hight of the grid are variables, depending on if/else statments and math rules. So in one instance the GUI could have 4 columns and 2 rows, then next 7 columns and 5 rows, Depending on other variables and user input.
| Code: |
something like:
NewGUI.ahk
____________________________________
________|__1__|__2__|__3__|__4__|__5__|
Item-1 | [X] | [_] | [_] | [_] | [_] |
Item-2 | [X] | [X] | [_] | [_] | [_] |
Item-3 | [_] | [X] | [X] | [X] | [_] |
--------------------------------------------------
|
The User would basically select how many columns and rows they would 'need' by answering the correct lines of questions, and the checks should populate based off of user_input where needed. If they only need 2 rows, 5 columns, then that is all that should appear.
I had to change the var names and stuff for security reasons, the real GUI does not deal with cars. All of the choices and math code are not in yet, but I wanted to see if it is even possible to have a check box grid populate on a new GUI page, before wasting too muc more time. I would like to output with some boxes checked and others unchecked depending on all of the above information.
I am working with this kind of code as an example:
| Code: |
#SingleInstance FORCE
#UseHook

}
else if(1=0 && 2=0 && 3=1)
{
MsgBox, else
}
else if(1=1 && 2=1 && 3=0)
{
MsgBox, else
}
else if(1=0 && 2=1 && 3=1)
{
MsgBox, else
}
else if(1=1 && 2=0 && 3=1)
{
MsgBox, else
}
else if(1=1 && 2=1 && 3=1)
{
MsgBox, else
}
else
{
MsgBox, Please select a check box
}
return
return
EarlyTerm:
ExitApp
return ;Main return

As always, i'm not asking anyone to do this for me, but I cant think of any other terms to search under that would suit this need. |

I'm not sure you'll find anything like this pre-made. You'll need to thoroughly read the GUI section of the Help file to understand how to script it. Here's an example to get you started. | Code: | #SingleInstance force
#NoEnv
Gui, Add, Text,,Rows:
Gui, Add, Edit
Gui, Add, UpDown, Range1-7 vR
Gui, Add, Text, ym, Columns:
Gui, Add, Edit
Gui, Add, UpDown, Range1-7 vC
Gui, Add, Button, xm w75 Default, OK
Gui, Show,,Checkbox Grid
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp
ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit
Loop,% R*C
{
Random, A_Check, 0, 1
Gui, 2:Add, Checkbox, %A_Margin% Checked%A_Check% vBox%A_Index% gCB
A_Margin := Mod(A_Index,R) ? "":"ym"
}
Gui, 2:Show
return
2GuiClose:
Gui, 2:Destroy
Gui, 1:Show
return
CB:
MsgBox, You just clicked %A_GuiControl%.
return |

Thank you for the reply, but I am not sure I understand the example.
In the "Loop, 3", is the '3' able to be a user defined variable, through the GUI?
Also, why is tickcount being used if all of the data regarding the check-box-grid, is user defined also?
The GUI first asks 'How many rooms', this will determine how many columns aprear. User enters 1 for one room, and only 1 column apprears, or the user can enter 7 for 7 rooms.
The rows are the items installed in the rooms themselves, also selected through questions. No need to install an item in a room when it is not needed. Does the customer want Lightbulbs, sockets, outlets, carpet, other items. So as you select WHAT items the want, and you know how many rooms to put them in...
As in:
| Code: |
Install the following in the following rooms:
____________|Room1|Room2|Room3|
Light switch|-yes-|-yes-|--no--|
Outlet Cover|--no-|-yes-|-yes-|
Light bulbs |-no--|-no--|-no--|
Something |-yes-|-yes-|-yes-|
Another |-no--|-no--|-no--|
Basically, I want to print out a work order. What goes into what room. I do not need/want this to be printed out, the GUI can just display the grid

Hi Sakurako,
First of all, thanks for your code.
I am also new at dynamic GUIs similar to those you've made here.
i would like to understand what you just did. So can you please explain how
the code works and what each Gui Add CHeckbox-line does?
i would really appreciate that,
Thank You
Deep-Silence
BTW, (My Try)
| Code: |
Gui, Add, Edit, vENum gECheck Limit1 Number ;Adds the edit to get the userinput
Gui, Show ; shows the gui
return
ECheck: ;action for gECheck
GuiControlGet, ENum ;gets the Userinput
Gui, Destroy ;destroys the gui
Loop %ENum% ;repeats the action within this brakes %ENum%
{
c := A_Index ;defines Variable c to get the value of %A_Index%
Gui, Add, Checkbox, % "v" c "_1" (A_Index = 1 ? "" : " ys") " section", %c%_1 ; Adds the First Line of x lines
Loop, 3 ;does the same for the following 3 lines
{
ANum := A_Index + 1 ;Defines ANum for each horizontal line
Gui, Add, Checkbox, v%c%_%ANum% xs, %c%_%ANum% ;and adds its Checkboxes
}
}
Gui, Show ;Shows the final GUI
return
|
Would be nice if you can explain the GUI, Add, Checkbox, lines...
