[fetush]

main.au3

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Demo1", 640, 480)

$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(100, 100, 300, 200)

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 0, 0, 200, 20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $button
            Run("demoloadvalues.exe")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

updater.au3

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#Include <SendMessage.au3>


$handle = ControlGetHandle("test", "", "[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:1]")
GUICtrlSetData($handle, 50)

so one is GUI with progressBar and 2nd script is just to update progressbar and whatnot in the first main script

now strangely progressbar doesnt get udated.

been searching and trying different stuff like _sendmessage() and so on but nothing helped.

Are you sure thr progress bar is a static control?

[fetush]

autoit info tools shows this info

class;msctls_progress32

instance:1

i dont know what else?

fetush,

Look again at the help file for controlgethandle. You are not providing the name of the window with the control.

fetush,

Try this:

Main script:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Demo1", 640, 480)

GUICtrlCreateProgress(100, 100, 300, 200)

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 0, 0, 200, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            Run("updater.exe")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Updater - compile and name "updater.exe"

#Include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

$hHandle = ControlGetHandle("Demo1", "", "[CLASS:msctls_progress32; INSTANCE:1]")

_SendMessage($hHandle, $PBM_SETPOS, 50, 0)

That works for me.

thanks melba works just fine , and how about updating labels with that?

im not sure what to put instead of $PBM_SETPOS just looked in msdn library but , not sure.

[Melba23]

fetush,

No need to send a message directly - ControlSetText will work for that:

; Main GUI

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Demo1", 640, 480)

GUICtrlCreateProgress(100, 100, 300, 200)

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 0, 0, 200, 20)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Starting position", 10, 450, 200, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            Run("updater.exe")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

; Updater - compile as updater.exe

#Include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

$hHandle = ControlGetHandle("Demo1", "", "[CLASS:msctls_progress32; INSTANCE:1]")

_SendMessage($hHandle, $PBM_SETPOS, 50, 0)

$hHandle = ControlGetHandle("Demo1", "", "[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:1]")

ControlSetText("Demo1", "", $hHandle, "Progress set")

thanks once again but when i tested controlsettext() it doesnt remove the text that is currently on that label instead it like "Paints Over"

maybe im missing out on something?

[Melba23]

fetush,

Unsurprisingly it works perfectly for me or I would not have posted it.

Are you using the exactly the same scripts as I posted? Can you post an image of the result on your machine?

[fetush]

but anyway i fixed the problem just setting in controlsettext() 1 on last call argument to redraw the gui.. which makes main gui flashy no matter how much delay i put on the updater but its ok . thnx for help
