making a list counter

[Arclite86]

I would like to make a counter that count from a list every time the next name is selected 

with this code:

$iIndex += 1
            If $iIndex = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($List1) Then $iIndex = 0
            _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($List1, $iIndex)

(selects the next name in $list1)

I have made a input were i want the number to be displayed

$listcounter = GUICtrlCreateInput("1", 232, 32, 41, 21) 

I tried to do something like this:, every time i press the next button

$iIndex += 1
            If $iIndex = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($List1) Then $iIndex = 0
            _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($List1, $iIndex)

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,+1)

but it doesnt work, and like this it wil keep counting every time i press is it even when the list is done..

could someody help me with this?

Hi,
You remind me a guy on this forum who kept asking questions, those questions could be answered easily with some practice and by reading the helpfile.

What do you think this does ?

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,+1)

Unfortunately not what you're expecting.

alright I already got it ,its

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,$iIndex)

but now im trying to make an other counter that when its hits the nummer 20 it returns to 0 and starts all over again

I have looked in the helpfile but could not find what i was looking for

I have tried these things:

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,$iIndex)
$rt = GUICtrlRead($listcounter)
GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$rt )

If $iIndex = 20 Then $listcounter2 =0

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,$iIndex)
$rt = GUICtrlRead($listcounter)
GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$rt )

If $iIndex = 20 Then $listcounter2 =$listcounter2-20

but instead of returing to 0 it stays stuck at 20

Where is $listcounter2 var set to?

Others : I know what's wrong, I'm trying to guide him to the problem.

Open the help file and read it thoroughly.

Another extremely simple question that would be answered by doing some of the work yourself for once.

Questions to answer are : What GUICtrlCreate* functions return? Can this return variable be directly assigned to change the control value?

I used multiple, GUICtrlCreate* input,label,edit but they al wont work if i use my code,

I did figured out how to get it to "0" with this

GUICtrlSetData($listcounter,$iIndex)
$rt = GUICtrlRead($listcounter)
GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$rt )

 If $iIndex = 5 Then $listcounter2 = GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,0)

But i just cant figure out how to make it count after it returns to "0"

[Arclite86]

when I also use something like this

Local $i = 0
While $i <= 10
     GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$i)
    $i = $i + 1
WEnd

For $counter = 1 to 10
   GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$counter)
Next

It should work but when i press one time it shows the number 10 and stays at that  number how is that possible, I have also tried different  GUICtrlCreate,  what am i doing wrong?

can  somebody explain this please ?

Explain me this line :

If $iIndex = 5 Then $listcounter2 = GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,0)

[Arclite86]

 

Explain me this line :

If $iIndex = 5 Then $listcounter2 = GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,0)

I tried when the $index is 5 then set the input to 0  but i have a better code

For $counter = 1 to 10
   GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,$counter)
Next

I tried to make it count every time I hit the button until 10 and then restart, but when I press it the first time it doesnt count but directly shows the number 10..

I dont know what to do, I'm looking in the helpfile for a while now but I cant find the solution, help please.

This is not what I asked, I know what you're trying to do.

If $iIndex = 5 Then $listcounter2 = GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,0)

when the $index is 5 then display 0 

right?

Partly yes, but that's not all. And that's the rest which causes a problem.

how can this not work?

[FireFox]

I don't see the point of your while code since it will set the data from 0 to 10 and you won't have enough time to see it has changed. So it's the same as setting the data to 10.

So I wanted you to find out that you are resetting the value of the $listcounter2 variable in this code :

If $iIndex = 5 Then $listcounter2 = GUICtrlSetData($listcounter2,0)

Because the function GUICtrlSetData return either 0, 1 or -1 (see helpfile).

Hence, you can't reuse this variable to handle the input.

At start, the variable contained the id of the input.

And please, read the helpfile.
