Label refresh

[GaryFrost]

The label in the group won't refresh, the one out side the group does.

I know that guictrlsetdata is what should be used for gui, but this and many other functions were made to work on not only autoit scripts but other apps as well

Edit: using 3.1.1.68 btw

Edit: moved code to bug reports

This reminds me of the same senario when you helped me with labels

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$GUI = GuiCreate("MyGUI", 750, 250)
;$grp = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Preview", 25, 25, 700, 100); CUT HERE**********************
;GUICtrlSetState( -1, $GUI_DISABLE)
$preview_label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Preview in Label", 50, 55, 650, 20, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, -1, -1, -1, "Courier New")
$preview_input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Preview in Input", 50, 80, 650, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, -1, -1, -1, "Courier New")
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

    Local $static = _IsStatic($winhandle, $control_id)
    For $i = 1 To StringLen($text)
        If $static = 1 Then GUISetState(@SW_LOCK, $winhandle)
        ControlSetText($winhandle, "", $control_id, StringRight($text, $i))
        If $static = 1 Then GUISetState(@SW_UNLOCK, $winhandle)
        Sleep($delay)
    Next
EndFunc ;==>_txt_eff__move_in_from_left

Func _IsStatic($winhandle, $control_id)
    Local $ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetClassName", "hwnd", ControlGetHandle($winhandle, "", $control_id), "str", "", "int", 128)
    If StringInStr($ret[2], "Static") <> 0 Then Return 1
    Return 0
EndFunc ;==>_IsStatic

autoit recognizes the "lower/first" label... in this case the "group" label

but it works

ok, that's a work around, but what I'm trying to determine if this should be catorgized as a bug.

Edit: try the my code unchanged, run it, then bring another window to the foreground and then the script back to the front the label is refreshed.

I certainly don't think it's a bug. Because all labels seem to have the same characteristics.

Yepper...

This is really interesting. Replace this line in your code and watch

$grp = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Preview", 85, 25, 650, 100)

in a group control, i'd expect only radio's, checkboxes and buttons to behave differently(they're supposed to). Anything else should be a bug (why should the behaviour change just because there's a frame drawn around it?)
