Checkboxes Editing ini File Topic is solved

[Teutonic84]

So I'm trying to create a script that opens up a GUI and has multiple tabs with checkboxes that edit an ini file. In the first tab, the checkboxes are auto-populated from the ini file "general_settings.ini". In the ini file if the option=enabled then the checkbox is enabled when you open the script. If it's disabled then it's unchecked. I have it do this all automatically without me manually specifying the variables, so then if i add any options i won't have to keep adding them manually in the script. Problem is I can't figure out how to get the checkboxes to then edit the ini file based off of if they are checked or unchecked. If the option is unchecked i want it to then edit that option in the ini file and set it to "disabled". i was able to get it working fine when i manually specified the variables on my own, but i can't figure out how to do it with the auto-variable method. I believe the issue lies within the loop. The "gsave" portion doesn't get recognized when it's in the loop, but if i manually specify it outside the loop it works fine.

I'm pretty new to autohotkey so please explain things like you would a newbie. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: I was able to figure it out! I have revised my script below. It uses two other scripts that are included as classes that someone else made. If anyone would like to try out my script i can attach the classes and explain how the script works.

Here is my script file:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
#Include Class_ScrollGUI.ahk
#Include Class_INI.ahk
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
SetBatchLines, -1

Seems useful to me. Can you attach the classes and explain this, please?
