Creating a label with a negative position.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm having an odd issue, i am using melba's scroll bars here and When a control goes under the "seen" area it doesnt get drawn at all.

Here is the snippet of code where it happens showing how i calculate the position for the redraw as well.

$scrtemp = _GUIScrollbars_Locate_Ctrl($SCARMAIN, 0, 80)
$DYNA[0] = Guictrlcreatelabel($SCARDATA[0][7], 110, $scrtemp[1], 400, 100) ;supplier
GUICtrlSetFont(-1 ,10 , 400, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

Now when i get the label with a calculated position of around -1.something it just doesnt draw the label. I just tried to make it go further past -1 and it does draw when this happens.

Is there a way around this? or should i just convert -1 to -2 beforehand?

Thanks!

DarkestHour,

The Help file for GUICtrlCreateLabel states that if you use -1 as a position value AutoIt moves into GUICoordMode computation - so I would think the label is being created, but that it is not located where you think it should be. The fact that you seem to say that -2 does work only reinforces this idea. So your idea of making sure that the value is never set to -1 seems like a good solution - try it and let us know if it works. :)

Sorry Mono, I had thought that this was more theoretical then really broken thus the short snippet, in the future i will include a full running script snippet.

Melba, yeah, just setting it to -2 if it falls between -1.99999etc and -1.0 works, only makes the labels a tiny tiny bit off but it is not an issue for this particular gui, thanks!

Is not big problem but sometimes i´m not in the mood to create a new script for every issue that i found in this forum, and i think that the person who request the support may post something that make us easy help others. i`m glad you find your answer and i see you around when you have some script problem.
