Add patron radio button

hey how's going my name is hell-bent and welcome to tutorial number four for the autohotkey graphical user interface tutorial series in this one we're going to be looking at the radial button and all the different things that we can do with it as well as some tips and tricks to make your scripting easier and some you know some cool things like that but Before we jump into it I have some bad news or maybe some bad news the the autohotkey tutorial series might be dying soon there just doesn't seem to be enough interest it's not it has nothing to do with the amount of views because autohotkey isn't exactly like you know you're not going to get a million views for creating autohotkey content it has more to do with the ratio of views to likes so you know I'll have a lot of videos that have a thousand views on it but it'll only have 20 likes so to me that says that 980 people out of a thousand or like 98 percent of the people who watched it didn't like it because they didn't I mean obviously they didn't like it because they didn't take two seconds to hit the like button so they couldn't have liked it right so because of that I might just let the the tutorial series die if you'd like to keep them coming be sure to hit the like button that's how I know that people are enjoying them that people want me to keep creating more of these tutorials so take the 2 seconds hit the like button if you don't like it hit the dislike button I don't care because if you don't hit anything I'm considering it a dislike anyways so you might as well go all out and just hit that dislike button but anyways let's go into this we're going looking at the radio button so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to just add in the radio button so the way we added in is the same way we add in our other controls is just GUI comma ad comma and then the type of control that we want so we got a radio and then comma this after the comma after this our control type what we're going to be doing is our options are because the our positioning the color of the text variable names label calls blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then one more comma and we have the whatever text is going to be decided so let's just type in some generic text okay so here we go we have our radio button and we can check it okay next this part next part I'm just going to be glossing over because I covered all of this stuff in quite in detail in the first tutorial tutorial number one for this series so spending the you know 10 minutes covering it again is you know a waste of time so I expect that if you're watching tutorial number four I'm kind of expecting that you watch tutorial one two and three but for the most part if you're only watching tutorial number four most of the stuff is standalone so you can probably get by with just what's covered in this okay so we'll just briefly go over positioning so I'm going to change its position by doing its X&Y position in its options and there we go we've changed its position next if I look here I can see that the button is to the left of the text if I want the button to be to the right of the text in the options by default its to the left if I want to change that so that way the button is on the right all I do is in the options just type and right and now the button will be to the right of the text okay so just depending on how how you want to do your design you might want to decide that it's better to do it to the right or to the left and that's how you do that um let me see what my left and right radio groups okay next is creating groups so for the most part if you're using a radio it's because you want to create groups where you can only select one thing so you'll have one or two you'll have like two things that you can select so do I want yes or no you know click one for click on yes no will be off clicked and if you click on no yes we'll be off clicked so I can only have one clicked at a time so that's a group the way we create groups with radios is in our code as it reads through it as long as our radio buttons are beside each other so or after each other so right here I have GUI add radio if the line underneath it is another radio button it'll automatically create those two as as part of a group so we'll just do that real quick and we'll just add in some generic text okay okay so here we go we have radio button one if I click on this one and then if I go and click on this one it'll deselect this one and vice versa all right and I can create as many my mouse is starting to die so I apologize for this but it just won't stay I need to get a new mouse I cannot you know what I was going to say that it's it'll be faster for me to just copy and paste but apparently that's not the case so we'll add in another radio now I know I know that you probably understand everything and I probably don't need to do this but I really do like to do these tutorials as in-depth as I possibly can so there's no misunderstanding I one of the things that I'm glad about is that in throughout all of my tutorials I don't think I've ever had a question in the comments having to do with the subject that I covered during the tutorial so it seems like anyone who watches the tutorial they do understand so I pretty sure that by doing it this way there's no you have no doubt on what what's going on okay so here we go we have a group of three now let's say that I want to let me make sure I'm not covering this later on I have a basic lesson plan written out and I just I worked I spent about an hour or so working on it and I just want to make sure that I don't step on the toes of something that's uncovering later okay it looks like it looks like I'm okay to cover this okay so the next thing is creating another group so I have a group right now of three radio buttons if I wanted to create another group I have two ways that I can go about doing this the first way is I can just add in another control of some other types so I can do text for example and then let me try this one more time come on let me copy nope it's just I don't get it just like it randomly decides okay okay I can take that and I'll just get rid of this okay so here we go good enough okay so like I said we can we have two ways that we can separate our groups one is by adding a control in between them so it goes through the script bla bla bla bla bla bla bla comes to this control says hey we're done with this group and if I add more radio buttons and later they're going to be part of their own another group okay so here I have I can click in those and this is part of another group one of the cool things about this is even though this this um control is right after these ones here I can actually position this so in order to do that I need to I can actually position this way way way down so I can go let's say X 5 nah that's too big 400 y 400 and then that's boat let me X plus 10 so I'm going to make these all these three radios in one row and then I'm going to have it right up close to these this set of radios right underneath it I'm going to have another set and even though on the actual GUI they're going to be next to each other they're still going to be part of another group because this line is here even though this control is going to be way down at the bottom of the GUI it's still separating it in the code create thus creating two groups let me just X 100 Y 120 okay so like I said here's our text down here but because it's in the code in between them even though it's not actually next to them in position it still creates a separation in the groups so here I can click one two three and then if I click on this one we can see that they are two different groups okay so that's that's one way that we can create two different groups the other way that we can create two different groups is in the options of the first radial button so here I have three radio buttons that I want to be part of a group in the control Indic in the options for the first one of that group I just type in the word group and then anything that follows it will be in that group until it encounters this command this option again so I'm going to get rid of this text and in the options here I'm going to do the same so now it knows that these two here these two radio buttons here are part of this group and it also knows that this is the beginning of a new group and that this one is part of that group all right so all right so that is this is probably the preferred way that you want to separate your groups but often often in your in your scripts you're not going to have to I mean at least for me I don't usually have too many groups of radio buttons right next to each other like this kind of deal so usually in the code I'll have something else another kind of control that separates them so I don't even actually usually have to use the group I can usually use that kind of text thing that I did before but if you want to be a you know sure of it 100% of the time just type in group next what we have is variables okay so let me see if I can get rid of I really really hate my most button I was hoping that this tutorial would only be 10 minutes but yeah it's not okay so let me get rid of I like to keep these tutorials a specific topic specific as possible so all that other stuff that I had there is just going to clutter it up and be something that's going to distract your eye whereas I want to just cover one thing okay so what we want to do now is with the radio button obviously it has a checked or unchecked value so it has not checked and it has checked and what we need to do is we need to assign that state to a variable and that state is true or false 1 or 0 right just binary state so it's it's 0 if it's not checked it's 1 if it is checked but we need if we need a store it to a variable so we're just going to create a variable that we're going to store it to and I like the name that I had before so let me see yeah so we've created a variable for it put it in its options every if you if you're not familiar with this stuff I covered this in the previous tutorials so I'm not going to go too deep so we have our variable some random name and now when we check that ah that's the variable that's going to store that value okay so that's adding a variable let me see next is attaching our radio button to a label so let me see what I have here ok so um this is another thing that I'm just going to cover briefly it's the same as we did with buttons and the edit field where we're going to add attached our radio button so when they click on it it's going to be trigger a label or a routine sojust g4 go-to and then we just need a label name and I had a label name written there well I'm usually pretty literal with my naming when I do these okay so we've made a call to it so when we press on it it's going to trigger this label to be executed so I'm going to go down here now in my label section and I'm actually going to add that in so what did I call that the radio button light buttons label colon and like I said before I've covered I've covered this kind of stuff in previous tutorials so I'm just glossing over it if you are if you feel at all lost I suggest you go and watch the earlier tutorials okay so here we go we have our label and now we're going to show that it's actually doing something so if you're familiar with my tutorials usually I use something like a message box because it's easy for me to show you as you're watching this it doing something and if you're watching along with this and typing this out with me when you it just basically gives you something to confirm that something happened right so message box it pops up so that way you can confirm that something did happen when you start scripting it's obviously not going to be well I mean most the time it's not going to be a message box it's going to be something else that it's executing right but the message box just allows us for training purposes so now we have our radio control we've assigned it to a variable that we don't worry me to worry about right now what we're looking at right now is the label so when you press the radio button it's going to execute that the contents of that label which is just gonna be a message box hello so if I run it and now when I click on this it should here let me move it over here it should hopefully execute that message box and there we go okay okay so that is attaching a radio to a label let me see what else I have in my were getting close to the end a few more things we're at 17 minutes okay I really did wanted this tutorial to be only about 10 minutes but and only one part but it looks like I still have I'm only about halfway through this so we're going to stop this here and I'll continue it on a second part remember if you like these kind of tutorials if you want to see more autohotkey tutorials in the future or if you'd like others to have the opportunity to have to see autohotkey tutorials in the future be sure to hit the like button and I'll see you on the next part
