How to Make a GUI with Commands?

[LanceDaoust]

Hi guys

I would like to create a GUI that has 4 actions in it, but so far I can only get it to send text.

I want the user to click on each option and then instantly the GUI closes and does an action, such as launch an App, or Run, or FileCopy.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Create buttons for each option/task you need for your GUI.
Add a g-label to each button.
In the g-label subroutine set the things you want to be executed.
That's about it, I guess.
Everything is explained very well in the documentation.

Thanks for that, it puts me in a different direction than I was on. If I had an example of how to create a button and its subroutine I would be able to keep going; I am not good without examples. Could you show me a mock-up, or point me to one, please?

Here's an example of what I think you're talking about. I will customize this now:

Code: Select all

F19::
	gui, add, button, x5 y5 h20 w70 gsub1, Subroutine 1 ;these buttons use g-labels to define a subroutine to act on.
	gui, add, button, x5 y30 h20 w70 gsub2, Subroutine 2
	gui, show, w80
	return

	sub1: ;when creating the subroutine remember to leave off the g.
	 {
	   msgbox, You clicked the first button!
	 }
	return

	sub2:
	 {
	   msgbox, You clicked the Second button!
	 }
	return

return

Actually, you put me on the right track! I have made much more progress with your method than what I was working with before. The confused smiley is my signature, lol
