Ahk todo list with input- and checkboxes Topic is solved

[RunarSF]

Let's get right to the point; I want to create a todo script/list, the only thing I'm struggling with atm is adding a checkbox and saving it's contents to an .ini file based on what is in an edit box. If I type "Finish todo script" in an edit box, it will create a checkbox with that text and save it's current state to an .ini file.

What code do you have thus far?

I would guess you are making a GUI to come up with the Gui, Checkbox control ?

You can use Gui, Submit command to retrieve the value of the checkbox to record in an ini file.

I know how to do the ini part, the other part is the difficult one, not really sure how I'm going to do it.

Just to be clear, a checkbox's state is merely whether it's checked or not. You can save it to the INI file, but it will be a value of 0 or 1. It sounds like you're more interested in saving the contents of the edit box. The checkbox and edit box are different controls that have no relation to one another unless you establish a relationship, such as by checking the state of the checkbox to determine whether to enable or disable the edit box.

It sounds like you want something like...

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Checkbox, vMyCheckBoxVar gMyCheckBoxSub, Add item to do
Gui, Add, Edit, Disabled vToDoItemVar
Gui, Add, Button, gSaveSub, Save
Gui, Show

MyCheckBoxSub:
  Gui, Submit, NoHide                      ; Save all states to variables so that we can check whether the checkbox has just been checked or unchecked
  If MyCheckBoxVar                         ; If the checkbox has been checked...
    GuiControl, Enable, ToDoItemVar        ; ...enable the edit box
  Else GuiControl, Disable, ToDoItemVar    ; ...otherwise, disable the edit box
return

SaveSub:
  Gui, Submit, NoHide                      ; Save all states to variables so that we can write what is in the edit box to the INI file
  ; Add IniWrite line here and use %ToDoItemVar% as the "value" to write
return
