SlowCoder74 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) SELF RESOLVED BECAUSE SLOWCODER IS AN IDIOT!!! The data was passing just fine, but the field wasn't wide enough to show the data. Nothing else to see here ... move on, move on ...I need to be able to pass time data to a GUI input box. When I attempt to pass a numeric string through to an input object, it apparently gets converted to a number, and if there's a 0 (zero) at the beginning, it is trimmed off. I need the entire string to be passed.Here is a sample of what I'm up against:#include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $MyData = "0730" msgbox(0,"",$MyData) ;verify proper data is held in variable $frmShowReport = GUICreate("", 378, 346, -1, -1) $inp = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 256, 272, 33, 21) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) GUICtrlSetData($inp,string($MyData)) ;GUICtrlSetData($inp,$MyData) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndNotice that I did try to force it by using string(), but that did nothing.

BrewManNH Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Try changing the GUICtrlSetData line to this: GUICtrlSetData($inp, StringFormat("%04s",$MyData)) This will force the string to have 4 digits padded with zeroes if needed. BTW, $MyData is already a string, so there's no need to use String() to convert it to one. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

SlowCoder74 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 BTW, $MyData is already a string, so there's no need to use String() to convert it to one.Yeah, I knew it was a string, but it was a shot in the dark as to what was happening, just in case something had converted it to int.
