kiffab Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi Guys I have written an app which monitors some of our services. This does basic checks to see if it's running. If it's up: GUICtrlSetData($server1, _SetImage($server1, @ScriptDir & "\buttons\up.gif")) If it's down: GUICtrlSetData($server1, _SetImage($server1, @ScriptDir & "\buttons\down.gif")) These are contained in a function which is run every 30 secs. I think the reason I am getting the flicker is because I am setting an image to "up" even when it's already "up" when what I actually want to do is just leave things alone if the server is still up. The image would only refresh if the status changed. Should I be using booleans or something to get round this? Cheers K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Use a variable that you set/reset a variable to see if the data has changed before changing the label/button text. Global $Sec = 0, $oldsec = 0 GUICreate("Test") $Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel(StringFormat("%02s", @SEC), 10, 10, 200, 180) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xffffff) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 70, 800) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test showing flicker", 10, 200, 200) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800) GUISetState() Sleep(1000) While @SEC <> 59 $Sec = @SEC GUICtrlSetData($Label, StringFormat("%02s", $Sec)) wend Sleep(1000) GUICtrlSetData($Label2, "Test without flicker") While @SEC <> 59 $Sec = @SEC If $Sec <> $oldsec Then GUICtrlSetData($Label, StringFormat("%02s", $Sec)) $oldsec = $Sec EndIf WEnd 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.
