Varying button names

[Shoal]

I want to change the name of buttons based on what a user writes in a .txt file
Here is my code:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory

You can use a .txt file with FileRead (and write to it using FileAppend). You may also consider using IniRead/IniWrite.

[FanaticGuru]

GuiControl can be used to change the text of a Button after you get the info from the text file.

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button, x5 y20 w190 h20 gSongOne vSongOne, Song 1
Gui, Show

SongOne:
    GuiControl,, SongOne, New Song
return

When you click on the button the name will change to "New Song".

FG

IMHO, there's really a good chance to get rid of redundant code (sections).
Eg. have a start looking at A_GuiControl. Good luck
