Max Characters for GuiCtrlCreateEdit

[BigDaddyO]

Hello,

I am writing a log file directly to an edit box as my script progressess. For a while I thought my script was freezing but actually I think it hit the maximum characters for the Edit box.

I copied and pasted all the info into Word and did a character count and it brought up 28,050. Is this correct? if so is there any way around it? I really liked being able to watch the log file being created on the fly.

is there any other control that will hold more information?

I hope I don't have to send the Log to a txt file and then open after it has completed...

Thanks,

Mike

if there is no actual secondary use for the info....

you can send it to notepad and or

ConsoleWrite( $MY-Info & @LF)

Due to making the gui's compatable with 95/98 2k xp etc.. there is a limitation.

is there any other control that will hold more information?

Try a list control.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>

Dim $LBS_MULTIPLESEL = 0x8
Dim $msg, $ret
Dim $listbox

GUICreate("ListBox Set Selection(s) Demo",600,600,-1,-1)

$listbox = GUICtrlCreateList("",50,50,500,500,BitOR($WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL, $LBS_NOTIFY,$LBS_MULTIPLESEL))
GUISetState ()

for $i = 1 to 1000
   $msg = "This is logfile entry Nr: " & $i & "|"
   GUICtrlSetData($listbox,$msg)
   $ret = _GUICtrlListSetSel($listbox,1,$i-1)
   $ret = _GUICtrlListSetSel($listbox,-1,$i-1)
next

sleep(5000)
msgbox(4096, "", "Done ....")

Kurt,

I can't get over the amount of extra _Commands available in the Beta edition. I have been using AutoIT for about a Year and I just got most of the v3.1.1 commands down. Now I have about two times that to remember. oh well,

I like the list box thing. I will be storing that for possible use later.

What I ended up doing is using the COM support to open an excel spreadsheet and writing the log file directly to that. I even set up the sheet to AutoFilter so you can filter by Failed/Passed. It was a bit trickey to get the loops down right so the Columns and Rows move at the proper time but it is Super Sweet now...

Thanks,

Mike

Would you mind to post that code? I'm interested.
