GUI Picture control not updating?

[Khryus]

Hi, I am trying to change the image of a picture control, but the control doesn't seem to update.

The control is in another GUI which I run with the main script:

main.au3 (main script)

packshot.au3 (the other script which contains the GUI which is basically a window with a Picture control inside)

I am trying to modify $PACKSHOT (variable inside packshot.au3) from main.au3. I included the script in main.au3 (#include "packshot.au3").

This is what I'm using to 'cycle' through the currently available packshots.

local $curCover=0

Func switchPackshot()
Local $covers[3]
$covers[0]="data\games\battlefield3"
$covers[1]="data\games\borderlands2"
$covers[2]="data\nothumbnail.jpg"
If $curCover == 2 Then $curCover = -1
$curCover=$curCover+1
GUIctrlSetImage($PACKSHOT, $covers[$curCover])
ConsoleWrite($curCover&@CRLF)
EndFunc

This is how the scripts are placed.

MAIN FOLDER

|---data

|---|---games

|---|---|---battlefield3

|---|---|---|---cover.jpg

|---|---|---borderlands2

|---|---|---|---cover.jpg

|---|---nothumbnail.jpg

|---main.au3

|---packshot.au3

The default image is nothumbnail.jpg, it doesn't change when I call the function... >_<

megablox,

I imagine the lack of replies is due the existence of the "G"-word in your folder structure. Could you please explain just what you are doing to assure us that you are not interacting with a game? Then you might well get some help for what at first glance looks like a simple problem.

Possible hint: GUICtrlSetImage takes a picture file as a parameter.

I'll send a screenshot instead, it'll be easier to understand that way

*rather big picture ahead*

Possible hint: GUICtrlSetImage takes a picture file as a parameter.

While I was waiting for a reply I found a workaround, I'm using the same method, and it seems to work

The problem is I can't do it like this, because there will be many other game covers to be used (probably one for each game out there).

$curCover=0
Func switchPackshot()
    Local $covers[3]
    $covers[0] = "data\nothumbnail.jpg"
    $covers[1] = "data\games\battlefield3\cover.jpg"
    $covers[2] = "data\games\borderlands2\cover.jpg"
    Switch $curCover
        Case 0
            $curCover=1
            GUICtrlSetImage($PACKSHOT, $covers[1])
        Case 1
            $curCover=2
            GUICtrlSetImage($PACKSHOT, $covers[2])
        Case 2
            $curCover=0
            GUICtrlSetImage($PACKSHOT, $covers[0])
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Oh derp

I forgot to add the cover.jpg. Well, thanks for pointing that out

Should have controlled once more before posting anyways ^^

megablox,

Thanks for that.

I see you used my hint:

$covers[1]="datagamesborderlands2"

; now reads

$covers[2] = "datagamesborderlands2cover.jpg"

The function does work better with a file name rather than a simple folder path.

Edit: I see the light went on a little later than I thought!
