Image Flicker

[kiffab]

Hi

I have an app which checks something every 10 seconds and updates the GUI with an image based on the check.

I placed the "default" picture on the GUI as follows:

$status = GUICtrlCreatePic("Images/image1.bmp", 10, 10, 100, 20)

Perform a check, then change the pic:

GUICtrlSetData($status, GUICtrlCreatePic("Images/image2.bmp", 10, 10, 100, 20))

The app checks every 10 seconds then sets the appropriate image.

Is there any way to avoid the flicker that occurs when changing the image? Or even reduce it?

Don't keep creating a new pic when you want to change the image; you'll end up with hundreds of pics but no way to access the old ones. Use GuiCtrlSetImage as advised in the help for GuiCtrlCreatePic.

Changed it. Perfect
