supadodger 0 Posted October 4, 2010 my edit box is getting full and not showing anymore text unless i delete some stuff from the top... any simple way to clear all but the last 10 lines every so often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsaltyDS 42 Posted October 4, 2010 The fun way: _GUICtrlEdit_GetLineCount() followed by _GUICtrlEdit_SetSel() to select all but the last 10, then replace the selection with "" using _GUICtrlEdit_ReplaceSel(). You could also just get all the text as a string, manipulate that, then ControlSetText() to put it back. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

supadodger 0 Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) supadodger,Or you could postpone the inevitable by using _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText to increase the default Windows limit of 32k chars in an edit control.

PsaltyDS 42 Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Just in case the OP wanted and actual working version based on the original intent: #include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> Global $hGUI, $idButton, $sText = "", $idEdit ; Create GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("Edit Replace Sel", 400, 340) For $n = 1 To 100 $sText &= "This is line " & $n & @CRLF Next $idEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit($sText, 10, 10, 380, 280) $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Last 10", 150, 300, 100, 30) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $idButton $sText = ControlGetText($hGUI, "", $idEdit) $sText = StringMid($sText, StringInStr($sText, @LF, False, -10)) ControlSetText($hGUI, "", $idEdit, $sText) EndSwitch WEnd All the other references to _GuiCtrlEdit_SetLimitTest() are certainly a simpler option, though.

enaiman 16 Posted October 4, 2010 Recently I found that GUICtrlSetLimit works very well in this case. SNMP_UDF ... for SNMPv1 and v2c so far, GetBulk and a new example scriptwannabe "Unbeatable" Tic-Tac-ToePaper-Scissor-Rock ... try to beat it anyway :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
