[EE 2.7] How to fix auto-login

[Akselj]

Hey,

This is my first VB tut so please be nice :cheesy:

I guess many of you have seen that the auto-login is broken…. Well, here's the fix.

First, go to frmLogin and find picLogin. Double-click it and you will find this code:

```
Private Sub picLogin_Click()
    If LenB(frmLogin.txtPassword.Text) <> 0 Then
        frmLogin.Check1.Value = Checked
    Else
        frmLogin.Check1.Value = Unchecked
    End If

    Me.Visible = False
    frmLogin.Visible = True
End Sub

```
Change it to look like this:

```
Private Sub picLogin_Click()
If ReadINI("CONFIG", "Auto", App.Path & "\config.ini") = 0 Then
    If LenB(frmLogin.txtPassword.Text) <> 0 Then
        frmLogin.Check1.Value = Checked
    Else
        frmLogin.Check1.Value = Unchecked
    End If
    frmLogin.Visible = True
    Me.Visible = False
Else
        If AllDataReceived Then
        If LenB(frmLogin.txtName.Text) < 6 Then
            Call MsgBox("Your username must be at least three characters in length.")
            Exit Sub
        End If

        If LenB(frmLogin.txtPassword.Text) < 6 Then
            Call MsgBox("Your password must be at least three characters in length.")
            Exit Sub
        End If

        Call WriteINI("CONFIG", "Account", frmLogin.txtName.Text, (App.Path & "\config.ini"))
        Call MenuState(MENU_STATE_LOGIN)
        Me.Visible = False
    End If
End If
End Sub

```
That's it. Now you have working auto-login for your game!

Hop this is usefull,

Isn't picLogin in frmMainMenu? I saw it and added the code and it works awesomely, it logs you in without having to use a button :D.

Uhhm, you forgot to add the cancel button:
```
Private Sub Label1_Click()

    AutoLogin = ReadINI("CONFIG", "Auto", (App.Path & "\config.ini"))
    If AutoLogin = 1 Then
        Call WriteINI("CONFIG", "Auto", 0, (App.Path & "\config.ini"))

        Me.Visible = False
        frmMainMenu.Visible = True
    End If

End Sub

```Also, make Label1 visible.

[Akselj]

Well, I simply deleted it as I never got it to work.

AkselJ ,

It does work you just need to fix the bug in modGameEditor. They have the true and false swaped for the frmChars.Label1.Visible

```
Public Sub MainMenuInit()
    frmLogin.txtName.Text = Trim$(ReadINI("CONFIG", "Account", App.Path & "\config.ini"))
    frmLogin.txtPassword.Text = Trim$(ReadINI("CONFIG", "Password", App.Path & "\config.ini"))

    If frmLogin.Check1.Value = 0 Then
        frmLogin.Check2.Value = 0
    End If

    If ConnectToServer = True And AutoLogin = 1 Then
        frmMainMenu.picAutoLogin.Visible = True
        frmChars.Label1.Visible = False
    Else
        frmMainMenu.picAutoLogin.Visible = False
        frmChars.Label1.Visible = True
    End If
End Sub

```
I also added a line to the Sub Label1_Click to uncheck the auto-login box on the frmLogin.

```
Private Sub Label1_Click()

    AutoLogin = ReadINI("CONFIG", "Auto", (App.Path & "\config.ini"))
    If AutoLogin = 1 Then
        Call WriteINI("CONFIG", "Auto", 0, (App.Path & "\config.ini"))
        Call TcpDestroy
        frmLogin.Check2 = 0
        Me.Visible = False
        frmMainMenu.Visible = True
    End If

End Sub

```
Completely works now but not sure that you should be sent back to the MainMenu.

Enjoy,

P.S. Thanks for all of your great fixes.

Edit1: Added Call Tcp  Destroy to Sub Label Click1 because it would hang when you tried to login again.

In order to get this to work, do we just have to do whatever it says on the first post? The other posts with code make this slightly confusing for me because I don't know exactly what to edit.

[Akselj]

Just do what it says in the first post the others are for fixing the cancel button.

[Kimimaru]

Oh, okay. Thanks.
