In a loop I create a bunch of buttons with the following code:
Code:
Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1. Gui, Add, Button, gButtonDestinationSelect HWNDButtonDestinationSelect%a_index%, %ButtonLabel%

Later on I want to hide/disable all these buttons using GuiControlGet, Hide but I'm not able to 'point' to these buttons, could anyone write a quick example?

GuiControlGet doesn't handle hiding/showing/disabling/enabling of buttons.  GuiControl does.  Consider this example:

Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1. Loop, 6
  2. {
  3.     Gui, Add, Button, vmyButton%A_Index%, Click me
  4. }
  6.  
  7.  
  8. Sleep, 1500 ; Small delay to show form before changes.
  9.  
  10.  
  11. Loop, 6
  12. {
  13.     If ( Mod( A_Index, 2 ) = 1 ) ; Hide odd-numbered buttons.
  14.     {
  15.         GuiControl, Hide, myButton%A_Index%
  16.     }
  17.     Else ; Disable even-numbered buttons.
  18.     {
  19.         GuiControl, Disable, myButton%A_Index%
  20.     }
  21.     Sleep, 500 ; Small delay to show changes happening.
  22. }
  23.  
  24. Return ; End of auto-execute section.
  25.  
  26.  
  29. {
  30.     ExitApp
  31. }

Thanks, sorry that was lazy typing I meant GuiControl. However, my buttons to not have variables assigned to them for a specific reason I cannot remember why, is there a way to do it without?

In regards to GuiControl -- you have two choices if you don't have variable names assigned to the buttons.

  • You can use the "classname + instance number" combo.  Button1, Button2, etc.  I would advise against this method since that enumeration will change if you add other buttons before you add those looped buttons.
  • You can use the text of the button itself.  Obviously, the text would need to be unique for each button (which I don't think it is in your case).

Got it to work smiley Great.
Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  2. GuiControl,Enable,btn1%a_index%
  4. 			Gui, Add, Button, vbtn1%a_index%, %ButtonLabel%
  6. 		{
  7. 			GuiControl,Text,btn1%a_index%,%ButtonLabel%
  8. 			GuiControl,Show,btn1%a_index%
  9. 		}
I'm still not sure why I removed the variables initially, so will do serious testing.. Thanks so much skwire smiley sometimes  AHK just lacks a simple example.
