I have a GUI that I've created, it has a serious of categories with check boxes.

What I wanted it to do, the user picks which categories they want to be added to the randomization, then they click start, and it will randomly select a link, from all the included categories.

Does that make sense? If not, ask for more detail.

I commend you for your subject title, Very Good! Wink Wink Wink

I suggest that your code collect a list of the suitable links, based on the selected catogories, count them, and then apply this command:

There may be many ways to collect the list, but further discussion probably should be based on you code.

Can you post your code with code tags please?

I don't understand what you mean by that.

Code:
Gui, Font, S34 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Text, x3 y0 w310 h130 +Center, Random Link Generator
Gui, Font, S16 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Text, x3 y140 w310 h80 +Center, Choose the lists of links you would like to add.
Gui, Font, S16 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y210 w190 h30 Checked, Blogs
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y250 w180 h30 Checked, Game sites
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y290 w140 h30 Checked, MMORPG's
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y330 w160 h30 Checked, Pictures
Gui, Add, Button, x108 y370 w100 h30 , Choose!
Gui, Show, w319 h410, Test Gui
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp


Is my GUI, I have added no code yet, as I want to think of a method before I start.

Example:
I want checkbox1 to contain the links: MyYearBook.com, Myspace.com, and Facebook.com

Checkbox2 to contain the links: Addictinggames.com, Miniclip.com, and Armorgames.com

Checkbox3 to contain the links: Worldofwarcraft.com, Ashenempires.com, Rappelz.gPotato.com

Checkbox4 to contain the links: Tinypic.com, Imageshack.us, Photobucket.com

Whenever the checkbox is checked, those links are added to the pile of links to randomize. When you click the button Choose! I want it to randomly select only ONE link out of the group of links I've selected.

I tried to set it to random a number between 1 and however many links there are and set each link to an individual number, but that means I would have to right a code for every possible outcome, which is very inconventient.

I've added a little code to my script. I've decided to go the route and hard code every possible outcome. This is what I have.

Code:
Gui, Font, S34 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Text, x3 y0 w310 h130 +Center, Random Link Generator
Gui, Font, S16 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Text, x3 y140 w310 h80 +Center, Choose the lists of links you would like to add.
Gui, Font, S16 CGreen, Papyrus
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y210 w190 h30 Checked vblog, Blogs
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y250 w180 h30 Checked vgame, Game sites
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y290 w140 h30 Checked vmmo, MMORPG's
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y330 w160 h30 Checked vpic, Pictures
Gui, Add, Button, x108 y370 w100 h30 , Choose
Gui, Show, w319 h410, Test Gui
Return

buttonchoose:
if(blog = 1 & game = 0 & mmo = 0 & pic = 0)

random, num, 1, 3

1 := "http://myspace.com"
2 := "http://facebook.com"
3 := "http://myyearbook.com"

msgbox, %num%
run, %num%
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp


The messagebox keeps returning the number. I thought that it'd set the number to a website... Then I could just tell it to run that number, but it won't work that way. Sad

Some of the thread titles here are poorly thought out. Others well thought and others are mid-way between. Sorry to digress. Embarassed

Maybe you'll like this better:

I am pleased that I could help.
Did you notice that I changed this line (because of line wrap)
Code:
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x56 y290  h30 vcbox3 Checked, MMORPG's


Also, all the checkboxes need variable names to retrieve their values.

BTW, I like that font Papyrus, that was of benefit to me. Exclamation

To be completely honest, I changed the GUI up a bit again.

The Papyrus font is one of my favorite fonts to use on GUI's. Smile Glad I could show you it.
