Script not working??

[Phaisius]

Hey guys just wondering why me script isnt displaying a picture, everything works its just the picture will not show up. The only way i can get it to work is if i change the highlighted line (<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<) to this:

 

$hPic_background = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Picture.jpg",0,0,0,0)

 

Does any one know why and how i can fix this?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Global $hGuiWin = GUICreate ( "Test",458,198)
$button1=GuiCtrlCreateButton("African Cichlids",0,0,114,33)

Added code tags

i Mainly want the picture to rum from the script directory so that the folder with the script can be moved without directory errors

[Davide9]

I think which you must use .gif extension for the pic..

Phaisius,

When you post code please use Code tags - see here how to do it. Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags.

See the Help entry for @ScriptDir, specifically the part about no trailing backslash.

if the image you want to load is located in a directory named images and this directory is located in the same path of the running script, then just remove the 3 dot from the above line and change it like this:

$hPic_background = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\Images\Picture.jpg",458,198) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
