[SOLVED] GUICtrlCreateInput converting numbers to scientific notation

[andybiochem]

Hi!

I feel a bit stupid asking this, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

I want to update a GUICtrlCreateInput control with a number from a variable containing a decimal point e.g. 0.0000001 using GUICtrlSetData

When I do this, the input automatically converts it to 1e-007

Converting it to string doesn't stop this either.

Reproducer:

GUICreate("", 271, 100)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 32, 10, 201, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 32, 40, 201, 21)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 32, 70, 201, 21)

$i = 0.0000001
GUICtrlSetData($Input1,$i)
GUICtrlSetData($Input2,String($i))
GUICtrlSetData($Input3,"0.0000001")

GUISetState()
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

Thankyou in advance!

Try this.

GUICreate("", 271, 100)
Local $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 32, 10, 201, 21)

Local $i = 0.0000001
Local $sFloat = StringRegExpReplace(StringFormat("%.15f", String($i)), "(0*$)", "")
;ConsoleWrite($sFloat & @CRLF)
GUICtrlSetData($Input1, $sFloat)

GUISetState()
Do
    Sleep(10)
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

Local $i = 0.0000001

Local $sFloat = StringRegExpReplace(StringFormat("%.15f", String($i)), "(0*$)", "")

Thanks for that! I found a way, but this is simpler.

This has caused me a really big headache.
