BrewManNH Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You're reusing the variable names for the second GUI's labels, you're destroying any link back to the first set of labels by reusing them. Change the label variable names in one of the GUI's and update the correct labels with the GUICtrlSetData. 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.

BrewManNH Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Seriously? You can't figure out what I meant when I said that you can't reuse the variable name $Label_1 for 3 different labels and expect the code to work? Rename 2 of those variables to anything else, as long as they aren't renamed to the same name. Then make sure your GUICtrlSetData is using the variable that is assigned to the correct label you want to update the contents of.

PhoenixXL Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 You should use the advanced mode of GUIGetMsg to avoid any further errors, look at the function in the help file.
