help with $iStyle

[bobbintb]

im trying to display an array in a gui. first i used a label to do it like this:

$Labelx = GUICtrlCreateLabel($ipconfig, 352, 16, 249, 550)

but i think it will be better in a readonly edit so it can scroll. the problem is i dont know how to do multiple $iStyle settings. i need the default setting plus readonly. also when i use the edit it display all element in the array in one long line whereas the label displays it properly by putting each element on the next line. this is what i have for the edit control:

$iptext=_GUICtrlEdit_Create($Form1_1,"",350, 16, 385, 550)
_GUICtrlEdit_SetText($iptext,StringReplace($ipconfig,"   ",@CRLF))

oh, and i know about _arraydisplay but thats not what im trying to accomplish.

bobbintb,

To combine styles, use BitOR. Although using simple addition can often work, BitOR is the only guaranteed way. However, be warned that using any specific styles will overwrite the default values, so you need to add the required ones back in:

GUICtrlCreateEdit("text", left, top, width, height) 
; gives default styles $ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $WS_HSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_AUTOHSCROLL

GUICtrlCreateEdit("text", left, top, width, height, $ES_READONLY)
; gives read-only, but none of the normal default styles

GUICtrlCreateEdit("text", left, top, width, height, BitOR($ES_READONLY, $ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $WS_HSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_AUTOHSCROLL)
; gives read-only and all the default styles

As to entering the data, I presume you are using a loop to enter the array elements, so it is fairly simple to add a @CRLF after each element to get a newline.

i did figure out the addition but i like the bitor better. thanks. the other thing is i did use a loop to enter the array elements followed by a @crlf as such:

$ipconfig = ($ipconfig & StringReplace(_ArrayToString($new_test), "|", "") & @CRLF & @CRLF)

and when i display it as a label it shows fine but when i display it in an edit it just has one long line.

bobbintb,

You need to add the @CRLF after each element, so use @CRLF as your delimiter for _ArrayToString:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>

Global $aArray[5] = ["fred", "tom", "dick", "harry", "bob"]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 300, 300, $ES_READONLY)

GUISetState()

$sEdit_Text = _ArrayToString($aArray, @CRLF)
GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sEdit_Text)

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

In your case I would imagine it is going to be:

$ipconfig = $ipconfig & _ArrayToString($new_test, @CRLF)
