 Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2004 5:04 pm Post subject: Making a Jump/Drop-down Menu? |
 |
|
Hello, I am an ammature programmer. I have read most of the AHK Help file but I couldn't find one thing...
How do I make a InputBox/MsgBox with a Jump/Drop-down menu with differnt options that when chosen do something different.
For example, how would I make a message box which comes up and asks how many times to click in different places with a drop-down menu with numbers from 1-10. And when somebody chooses a number the script will use that command to click so many times in different places. Thanks to anybody in advance who can help. |

There are no built-in drop-down boxes yet. So your choices are:
1) Use InputBox and have the user type a number, then have the script validate that the number is between 1 and 10.
2) Use a popup menu (or attach a submenu to the tray menu) to offer a list of choices. This is done via the Menu command.
3) Use a tooltip menu, which is described at http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=233
4) Use an external GUI utility to create a window with a drop-down control. This kind of thing has been mentioned in other past topics, accessible via searching the forum. |

I think option 1 is best for me because I'm an amature. Could you give me a basic code for this and explain to me what exactly is involved (variables or anything else...) thanks. |

| Code: | InputBox, X, Title, How often d'ya wanna click (1-10)
If X = 1, Y = 10
If X = 2, Y = 20
If X = 3, Y = 30
If X = 4, Y = 40
If X = 5, Y = 50
If X = 6, Y = 60
If X = 7, Y = 70
If X = 8, Y = 80
If X = 9, Y = 90
If X = 10, Y = 100
ClickCount = %X%
MouseClick, L, %X%, %Y%, %ClickCount% |
Something like this ? |

You can't have an if's action on the same line unless you use the old style of command, such as: IfEqual, x, 1, SetEnv, y, 10. The new style is probably better since it's easier to add blocks (multi-line sections) later. Example:
| Code: | if x = 1
{
y = 10
}
|
As for the InputBox, here is a basic example:
| Code: | Loop
{
InputBox, ClickCount, My Title, How often d'ya wanna click. Please enter a number between 1 and 10.
if ClickCount >= 1
if ClickCount <= 10
break
; Otherwise, continue looping until a proper answer is given.
}
MouseClick, left, 200, 200, %ClickCount%

Ooops 
The code I wrote (new phantasy style  ) was different from the one I've tested (old style). Sorry for the confusion. |
