script control of button

Here is an example of using the script to control when a button works.

[code=thinbasic]uses "UI" 'use UI module

DIM hDlg AS DWORD 'dialog number assigned by OS
dim Msg, wparam,lparam as dword 'parameters used for os messages
%id_button = 10 'assign number to button to identify it


'make a window
DIALOG NEW 0, "Button FUN", -1, -1, 150, 100, _
%WS_DLGFRAME OR %DS_CENTER OR %WS_CAPTION OR %WS_SYSMENU OR %WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, _
0 TO hDlg
'add a button to it
control add button, hDlg, %id_button, "CLICK ME", 5, 5, 50, 50, %ws_border

DIALOG SHOW modeless hDlg 'make window visible

while isWindow(hDlg) 'while loop to handle messages from OS
Msg = GetMessage(hDlg, wParam, lParam) 'get latest message

select case Msg 'message that was recieved
case %wm_command 'check command
select case wParam 'it will be here
case %id_button 'was button clicked?

control disable hDlg, %id_button 'disable button
sleep 1000 'do a little wait and then
control enable hDlg, %id_button 'make button work again

end select
CASE %WM_SYSCOMMAND 'system command?
SELECT CASE wParam 'check variable
CASE %SC_CLOSE 'if close button in bar clicked then
EXIT WHILE 'exit while which will end program
END SELECT
END SELECT

wend

DIALOG END hDlg 'ends the program
[/code]

Thanks

I wrote this a while back when I first looked at controls.

Hi,

thanks guys for another scripts from UI world!


Bye,

Thanks a lot Sandy / Abraxas for those examples.

I've moved your post in this more appropriate forum.

Ciao

Thanks Sandy and Abraxas, having different control examples are very nice. It is easy to forget how to use them if you don't for awhile so nice to have samples to refer too.
