Ryanz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm a newbie to this whole AutoIt scripting thing, so I apologize for my amatuer code, but in a nutshell here is my problem: I have a variable ($iCounter) that is an integer that starts at 0. Whenever the user pushes a button ($hButtonCount) I want it to increment that value and have it displayed within a label ($hCountLabel) . As the code stands currently, pushing the button does nothing to the variable. This is my code: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GuiButton.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> $iCounter = 0 $hRyanzGUI = GUICreate("Ryanz Test GUI", 500, 400) $hBackGroundPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\...\RyanzBackGround.jpg",0,0,0,0) GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE) $hLogo = GUICtrlCreatePic("D:\...\RyanzAvatardFoH.jpg", 390, 290, 100, 100) $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Don't Press This", 100, 100, 300, 200, $BS_BITMAP) ;GUICtrlSetImage($hButton, "C:\...\RyanzButton.bmp") $hButtonCount = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Counter", 20, 340, 60, 40) $hCountLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Counter total: " & $iCounter, 90, 350) $hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Welcome to Ryanz super complicated GUI interface. Try not to click on the wrong button.", 30, 30) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $hButton MsgBox (0, "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", "WTF ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?") Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hButtonCount $iCounter = $iCounter + 1 EndSwitch WEnd Any help would be greatly appreciated. This GUI I'm creating isn't anything important, it's just a project to get my feet wet and start becomming familiar with the code. Thanks in advance for any help.

somdcomputerguy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I believe GUICtrlSetData is what you need. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lark Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) It's kind of hard to help you with your code if you don't post what you tried to use. But really, for GUICtrlSetData? It should be something like: GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter) Edited June 6, 2012 by lark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be something like: GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter) Okay so I tried: GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter = $iCounter + 1) and it just makes the label say "False" once I push the button. Then I tried: GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter + 1) and this will increment the variable to 1 after pushing the button, and will not go beyond that.

lark Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It seems as if you took away the part $iCounter += 1. When you do GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter + 1) that does not change the value stored in the variable. That just takes the value stored inside the variable, adds 1 to it, and displays that. You need to do: $iCounter += 1 GUICtrlSetData($hCountLabel, "Counter total: " & $iCounter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
