Help with GUICtrlSetData

[SoundOfDeath]

Alright, I made this simple script:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\documents and settings\laptops&zo\bureaublad\autoit\form\search test.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Beta", 225, 105, 192, 124)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Char Information", 8, 8, 209, 89)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name:", 16, 32, 35, 17)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Unknow", 96, 32, 67, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 64, 121, 21)
$Label14 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Search:", 16, 64, 41, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

HotKeySet("{Enter}", "search")

Sleep (10)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func search()

GUICtrlSetData ($Label3, "Random")
EndFunc

When I hit enter Unknown should change to Random, but it doesn't I tryed some other things to let it work, like changing the hotkey, but it still doesn't work and I can't find the problem here, if someone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

~Thanks for reading!

This one seems to work for me:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\documents and settings\laptops&zo\bureaublad\autoit\form\search test.kxf
HotKeySet("{Enter}", "search")
$Form1 = GUICreate("Beta", 225, 105, 192, 124)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Char Information", 8, 8, 209, 89)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name:", 16, 32, 35, 17)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Unknow", 96, 32, 67, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 64, 121, 21)
$Label14 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Search:", 16, 64, 41, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func search()
    GUICtrlSetData($Label3, "Random")
EndFunc   ;==>search

SoundOfDeath,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum!

Your code does work, but needs a couple of tweaks. First, move the HotKeySet to the top of the script, you only need to declare it once, not every time you loop. Second, you do not need a Sleep in your loop if you use GUIGetMsg() - the function does the CPU idle for you (look in the Help file for GUIGetMsg ).

So your script becomes:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "search")

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\documents and settings\laptops&zo\bureaublad\autoit\form\search test.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Beta", 225, 105, 192, 124)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Char Information", 8, 8, 209, 89)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name:", 16, 32, 35, 17)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Unknowm", 96, 32, 67, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 64, 121, 21)
$Label14 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Search:", 16, 64, 41, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func search()
    GUICtrlSetData ($Label3, "Random")
EndFunc
