Display refresh problem

[slam666]

Hi,

I have the following code

$_StartTimeGlobal = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Start time : 00:00:00", 10, 470)

...

GUICtrlSetData($_StartTimeGlobal,StringFormat ( "Start time : %2d:%2d:%2d", @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC))

The problem I am having is the display is not correct, when I try to update the $_StartTimeGlobal it display the string over the previous one instead of replacing it.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Before you enter the new time, reset the value back to nothing, like below

$_StartTimeGlobal = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Start time : 00:00:00", 10, 470)

...
GUICtrlSetData($_StartTimeGlobal, ""); Sets the value to nothing
GUICtrlSetData($_StartTimeGlobal,StringFormat ( "Start time : %2d:%2d:%2d", @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)

BTW, the line

GUICtrlSetData($_StartTimeGlobal,StringFormat ( "Start time : %2d:%2d:%2d", @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC)

is missing a ")" (Bracket) at the end. Edited April 4, 2005 by burrup

Hi,

It still does not work and I dont know if its because my program is not active, it is set as StayOnTop but when I update the label the program does not have focus.

Is there a way to refresh the window?

Thanks.

Here's a working version.

Edit:

- Removed: reset label to nothing

- Added: leading zero for 1 digit seconds and minutes.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1)

;Initialize variables
Global $style1
Global $IniFile
Global $GUIWidth
Global $GUIHeight

$GUIWidth = 250
$GUIHeight = 250
$IniFile = StringTrimRight(@ScriptFullPath, 3) & "ini"

$OldSec = @SEC

GUICreate("New GUI", $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight)

$_StartTimeGlobal = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Start time : 00:00:00", 10, 40)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
   Sleep(25)
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
   
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         GUIDelete()
         Exit

      Case $OldSec <> @SEC
         GUICtrlSetData($_StartTimeGlobal,StringFormat ( "Start time : %2d:%02d:%02d", @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC))
         $OldSec = @SEC

   EndSelect

WEnd
