GuiCtrlSetData inside Loop won't refresh data

[xanathos]

Hello everyone

I'm having a little problem

Here is a part of my code:

Func MouseScan()
   Local $count = 0
   Local $expensive = Number(GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderSell)) < GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderBuy)
   Local $cheap = Number(GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderSell)) > GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderBuy)
$x = MouseGetPos(0)
$y = MouseGetPos(1)
For $count = 0 to 9 step 1
Local $Box = _MemoryRead($ADDR_MsgBoxSell, $openmem, "word")  
MouseClick("left", MouseGetPos(0), MouseGetPos(1)-35, 2)
GuiCtrlSetData($CTRL_MsgBoxSell, number($box))
If $expensive = 1 then
Send("{ESC}")
EndIf
Next
  
EndFunc

Here is what I wanna do:

1. Click on some part of the screen

2. When the msgbox pops, I want to compare 2 values from 2 inputbox ($CTRL_OrderSell and $CTRL_OrderBuy)

3. If no msgbox appears (value is stored in $CTRL_MsgBoxSell 1 if the msgbox is there / 0 if it's not), it moves to y-35

4. If $CTRL_OrderSell < $CTRL_OrderBuy it presses ESC and moves to y-35

5. If $CTRL_OrderSell > $CTRL_OrderBuy it presses ENTER and moves to y-35 (not in the code yet, since I'm having a problem from the previous step already)

6. Loop that until $count = 9 after that executes another function (another mousemove) and after the function has been executed repeat from step 1

Here is what happens:

Since it's in a loop, it won't "refresh" the values in their respective inputbox until the loop has been executed (therefore the comparison between OrderSell and OrderBuy fails)

I'm a bit lost...

simply re evaluate the variable at the point you need it refreshed

if you guictrlsetdata at some point, then later a new guictrlread should get your new values.

Look closely, this is what I'm already doing

MouseClick("left", MouseGetPos(0), MouseGetPos(1)-35, 2)
GuiCtrlSetData($CTRL_MsgBoxSell, number($box))
If $expensive = 1 then

$expensive already guictrlread after guictrlsetdata...

I need it refreshed like 1 second after mouseclick has been executed, so I put it inside the loop after mouseclick, but then problem is, that it doesn't get refreshed until the whole loop has ended...

You're reading OrderBuy and OrderSell

but in the script you posted, you aren't changing their data

You change MsgBoxSell but you never read that controll in your script you posted.

They are being set by another function which is being called in the main gui loop (I even tried to call that same function inside the loop of the MouseScan() function, but It still won't refresh

Ok, so you want to update your ordersell and order buy right after the mouseclick but you do not set the data for those 2 controls

you will probably need to do a bit of rewriting...

put the updating of those controls into a seperate function, then call that function anywhere in the script where you need to update those controls.

I did that already; with no luck...

[kaotkbliss]

it would be something like:

MouseClick("left", MouseGetPos(0), MouseGetPos(1)-35, 2)
_your_set_buy_and_sell_function()
$expensive = Number(GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderSell)) < GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderBuy)
$cheap = Number(GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderSell)) > GUICtrlRead($CTRL_OrderBuy)
GuiCtrlSetData($CTRL_MsgBoxSell, number($box))
If $expensive = 1 then

*edit*

I noticed that in your $expensive and $cheap, you are only converting the first guictrlread to a number and not the read after the < and > signs.

Func MouseScan()

Here is the LoadPrice() func, that sets the input for $OrderSell:

if $OrderID = 0 Then
  $OrderID2 = $OrderID
  Return
EndIf

if $OrderID = $OrderID2 Then
  Return
EndIf
$OrderID2 = $OrderID
$webpage = InetRead("http://127.0.0.1/Order.aspx?id=" & $OrderID)
;~ $webpage = 0
$webstring = BinaryToString($webpage)
if FileExists($file) Then
  $webstring = FileRead($fileopen)
  $newOrdervalue = $filereadline

  $postocut = $pos + 28
  $trimmedleft = StringTrimLeft($webstring, $postocut)

  $newOrdervalue = StringMid($webstring, $postocut, $pos2)
Endif
$length = StringLen($newOrdervalue)
;~   $length = StringLen($newOrdervalue)


If $length > 3 then
  $tausender = StringTrimRight($newOrdervalue, 3)
  $htausender = StringTrimLeft($newOrdervalue, $length - 3)
  $newOrdervalue2 = $tausender & "" & $htausender
  GUICtrlSetData( Int($CTRL_OrderSell), Int($newOrdervalue2))
  $oldOrdervalue2 = $newOrdervalue

Else
  Number(GUICtrlSetData($CTRL_OrderSell, $newOrdervalue))
EndIf

;~   if FileExists($file) Then
;~    $webstring = FileRead($fileopen)
;~      $newOrdername = $filereadline
;~   Else
$pos3 = StringInStr($webstring, "Order-name")
$pos3tocut = $pos3 + 11
$trimmedleft2 = StringTrimLeft($webstring, $pos3tocut)
$pos4 = StringInStr($trimmedleft2, "")
$newOrdername = StringMid($webstring, $pos3tocut, $pos4)
GUICtrlSetData($CTRL_Nom, $newOrdername)
$oldOrdername = $newOrdername
;~   EndIf

  FileClose($file)
Else
  FileWriteLine($file, $newOrdervalue)
  FileWriteLine($file, $newOrdername)

EndFunc   ;==>loadOrderprice

Still no luck

I don't know if that's because my question is too complicated but since I've seen way more complicated problems getting solved I don't think so, but I don't know why my thread is not getting any answer...I'm not asking for a complete solution but any help or hint would be appreciated

You haven't said what you need help with, try explaining better what you're trying to do that doesn't work right.

EndFunc   ;==>MouseScan

My script compares 2 values from 2 guicrtls; basically if my ordersell guictrl is > to orderbuy guictrl it should press ESC key and continue to next Y-18 from where it stopped, they are placed in a loop, depending on where my mouse is placed, that value changes, problem is that until the loop has not ended it will not return the correct value from where the mouse is...

You're only reading the location of the mouse once before it goes into the For loop, is that what you're intending?

Also, the controls you're reading from, are they in an AutoIt GUI or an external program?
