Updating progress

[Phaser]

Hi all

Currently as we enter our data without problems it has been decided it would be good to see how many sets we have done, I tried using GUICtrlCreateLabel which works but as we get into thousands I realised it is actually overwriting the old amount so starts slowing down, is there any way I can display AND update th GUI with the current count

GUICtrlCreateLabel("DataSetsAdded = " & $doc_count, 10, 25)

I cant find a way of updating a text box?

You are probably creating new labels with updated information rather than just updating the current label. Use GUICtrlSetData(<your labels handle>, "DataSetsAdded = " & $doc_count) as an example of how to do it.

Thanks for the help, how do I find the conrol id/handle? <your labels handle>,

Simple example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 320, 200)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Counter: 0", 100, 100)
GUISetState()

$i = 1
Do
    Sleep(1000)
    GUICtrlSetData($label, "Counter: " & $i)
    $i += 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
