RichE Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I know this sounds like a stupid question, but is there a character limit on edit boxes...?

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2011 l15ard,is there a character limit on edit boxesYes, Windows sets an initial limit of 32k, but you can override it with GUICtrlSetLimit.

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2011 l15ard,However, the real question is "Why do you want to put more than 32k in an edit?". That is a lot of text - there might be an easier way to do things. Would you care to share your reasons?

RichE Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I'm using an edit box to show the process info for stopping and restarting some services, each PC has between 3 and 5 entries, and I've 1400 pc's on my network, so it get full, I wrote the same info to the console when I was debugging it, and found it useful to see what was happening.

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2011 l15ard,How about a List control? No limit on content (that I know of) and a nice UDF to help you if you need it: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $iTotal = 0 $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $hList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 400, 400, BitOr($WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL)) GUISetState() SplashTextOn("Filling List", "Please be patient") ; Fill the list - takes a bit of time, but will give you about 170k of characters For $i = 1 To 10000 $sLine = $i & " blahblahblah" $iTotal += StringLen($sLine) GUICtrlSetData($hList, $sLine) Next GUICtrlSetData($hList, "Total chars = " & $iTotal) SplashOff() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndM23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichE Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I've now changed it so that it clears the list box for each PC, that way it's never overflow, and a List box control looks so much better (I've change the preview above), thanks again for the help.
