GuiControlGet Problem Topic is solved

[yawikflame]

As this is my first question in the forum, i will try being as concise as possible:

a little background:
While trying to create a "MiniGame" of card memorization, i tried asking the player to select 3 cards in which later on he will have to remember.
i already managed counting the first three clicks and having boxes showing each click as "First/Second/Third Card = "
but i failed to store any value/string of the clicked item(picture = card) into variables.
i have seen something that might solve this using GuiControlGet but it always had errors when i tried running the code again.
the question:
how could i assign variables(for example a,b,c) to get the name(or value, rather) of the clicked card(represented by a picture)?



my code so far:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
msgbox, Welcome To Memory!

Code: Select all

		GuiControlGet, a [, Picture, a, ]

The square brackets are used to mark optional parameters in the help file. Don't put them into real code.

Code: Select all

Pick:
	counter++
	if (counter = 1)
	{
		a := A_GuiControl  ;first pick
		msgbox, First Card = %a%
		return
	}
	else if (counter = 2)
	{
		b := A_GuiControl ;second pick
		msgbox, Second Card = %b%
		return
	}
	else if (counter = 3)
	{
		c := A_GuiControl ;third pick
		msgbox, Third Card = %c%
		return
	}

though it might be better to associate an own vName with each Pic control (Storing and Responding to User Input). A_GuiCOntrol will contain that Name (w/o the leading v) then.
