Label Update (NOOB HELP)

[GroovyMan8750]

I am runing a basic GUI and want to know if there is a way to automate a label update from a text file every hour, sort of like a notification system....

Here is what I have for the label:

$Label_02 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Command Broadcast Information" & @CRLF & FileRead("C:broadcast49x14.txt"), 325, 450, 600, 300, $SS_CENTER)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xCC99FF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

If I cannot update a label, what do I use, and how can I code it?

Please help, and I have no shame in my game!

GUICtrlSetData($Label_02, "the data you want the label to show")

and, to have the update every hour......

Local $dif, $sec

While 1
    $sec = Round(TimerDiff($adtimer) / 1000, 2)
    If ($sec > 60)
       ; READ YOUR TEXT FILE, PROCESS IT, ETC......
       ; ADD THE LABEL UPDATE HERE (like BrewManNH said...)
       GUICtrlSetData($Label_02, "the data you want the label to show")
    EndIf
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

OK, I get the GUICtrlSetData, but how would I go about making it pull the information after an hour, every hour?

[GroovyMan8750]

Here is the error I get in return.

==> "If" statements must have a "Then" keyword.: If ($sec > 60) ->18:26:09 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:1 >Exit code: 1    Time: 0.586

Do i have to put then before the GuiCtrlSetData ? 

[TechCoder]

sorry, that was 'untested' code (and one of the constant issues I have in working in AutoIt one minute and php the next - forgetting the language differences!

change to add the 'Then' on the 'If' line.....

If ($sec > 60) Then

(of course, the error tells you that......)

[TechCoder]

oh, and that code is to pull things every MINUTE, so if you want an HOUR, you need to... (drum roll.....)  multiply by 60

[GroovyMan8750]

Ok, I'm a total tool!  Iplugged this in under the label, not getting any errors.....the GUI wont open but show is systray.

Local $dif, $sec
While 1
    $sec = Round(TimerDiff($dif) / 1000, 2)
    If ($sec > 60) Then
       ; READ YOUR TEXT FILE, PROCESS IT, ETC......
       ; ADD THE LABEL UPDATE HERE (like BrewManNH said...)
   GUICtrlSetData($Label_02, "Command Broadcast Information")
    EndIf
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Any ideas?

[GroovyMan8750]

EndFunc took care of the gui not opening up.

The If Then update is not kicking in the new info..

[BrewManNH]

It won't update because the code posted doesn't initialize the timer.

Local $dif, $sec
Local $adTimer = TimerInit() ; initialize the timer
While 1
    $sec = Int(TimerDiff($adtimer) / 1000)
    If ($sec > 60) Then
       ; READ YOUR TEXT FILE, PROCESS IT, ETC......
       ; ADD THE LABEL UPDATE HERE (like BrewManNH said...)
       GUICtrlSetData($Label_02, "the data you want the label to show")
       $adTimer = TimerInit() ; reset the timer after the 60 seconds has passed
    EndIf
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That did it. Thank you all so much for the assist. Tagging you all in my code for the help!

Most Excellent!
