Generate AutoIT GUI and Assign Actions to Form Elements

Bydatapandasadmin October 25, 2016October 27, 2016

This is a quick code to create a BUTTON , CHECKBOX and COMBO BOX and assign some action to them using “MessageLoop Format”.

The general message loop format is

While 1

$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()

...

WEnd

Action is put into the WHILE LOOP using the SWITCH and CASE STATEMENT.

The GUIGetMsg() function polls the GUI to see if any events have occurred. If an event has occurred it is assigned to the variable $nMsg and the status of the variable is checked in the SWITCH – CASE STATEMENT.

The script executes and displays the appropriate Message Box when the value in the variable in the CASE STATEMENT matches the value stored in the $nMsg variable

The GUI resulting from the code below is generated using KodaForm designer which can be downloaded from here: Koda form designer

#include

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

Global $Form1 = GUICreate("DataPandas", 536, 254, 192, 124) ; this creates the GUI

Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("PRESS ME", 32, 72, 137, 81)

Global $Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose Me", 288, 72, 137, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "AutoIT is Awesome")

Global $Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Checkbox", 184, 40, 89, 73)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; this displays the GUI

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $Button1

MsgBox(64,"You pushed...", "You pushed the BUTTON!")

Case $Combo1

MsgBox(64, "You selected..", "You selected an item from the COMBO BOX")

Case $Checkbox1

MsgBox(64, "You selected..", "You ticked the checkbox")

EndSwitch

WEnd

Result from the code above can been seen as follows:

AutoIT simple tutorial on LOOPS – IF, FOR LOOP, WHILE LOOP, DO LOOP

Bydatapandasadmin October 23, 2016October 23, 2016

Autoit is a very simple yet powerful tool to automate simple scripts. Today, we are looking at LOOPS. Credit to 403forbidden403. You can check her on Youtbue

;loops

;lets declare a varible

$var = 1

;lets write an if statement

if $var = 1 then

MsgBox(6,"if Statement Message box","How does the message box look?")

endIf

This is the resulting message box:

; you can keep your if statement on the same one line without ending with an "endif" statment if there is only one message after the "then keyword"

;example, the code below is same as the one above

if $var = 1 then MsgBox(6,"if Statement Message box","How does the message box look?")

And the message box will be same as above

; DO LOOPS

; example lets do SOMETHING until a condition is met and then stop doing that tghint

;whiles our a condition is TRUE

$do_var = 3

MsgBox(3,"do loop title","do loops are awesome")

$do_var = $do_var - 1

Until $do_var = 1

The result of the DO LOOP

; WHILE LOOP

; Let's initialise a variable to 8

; whiles our variable is not equal to 8, lets create a message box and pop out some message

; and then decrement our variable down.

; as soon as our variable is now equal to 3 , the WHILE LOOP will break and we end the WHILE LOOP with "WEnd" keyword

$do_var = 8

while $do_var <> 3 ; whilst it is not equal to 3 , do the following.

MsgBox($do_var,"while loop title","while loops are awesome")

$do_var = $do_var - 1

WEnd

Result of WHILE LOOP…

Python PyQt Gui Basics Button Window PyQt4 Pt1

This is just some quick scrap notes on the basics of Python GUI building using PyQt. In [1]:

import sys

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore # to help add buttons

#app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

#window = QtGui.QWidget()

##set the posstion and size of the window

#window.setGeometry(50, 50, 500, 500)

##lets set the title

#window.setWindowTitle('Date Incrementor')

#window.show()

class Window(QtGui.QMainWindow):

def __init__(self):

super(Window, self).__init__()

self.setGeometry(50,50, 500, 500)

self.setWindowTitle("Date incrementor")

# self.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon('logo.png'))

#self.show()

self.home()

def home(self):

#create and name a button

btn = QtGui.QPushButton("Quit", self)

#define what we will do when the button is clicked

#btn.clicked.connect(QtCore.QCoreApplication.instance().quit)

btn.clicked.connect(self.closeapplication)

#lets resisze the button

btn.resize(100,100)

#lets position the button

btn.move(100,100)

#lets show the button

self.show()

#lets create custom methods

def closeapplication(self):

print('Application closed')

sys.exit()

the ‘init‘ statements runs anytime we call call the Window class we have created and it runs all the code in the Window class the _init__ method calls the super constructor and then sets…
