buymeapc Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 So, I was curious if it's possible to use @SW_LOCK to lock the main gui and enable a hidden child gui which holds a label with a counter count up while the main gui is locked. While reading the help file and searching the forums, I saw that I can use GUISwitch() to possibly do this, but I'm not too sure how. Does anyone have a quick example available that can show this? Thank you.
BrewManNH Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Why do you want a hidden gui with a label, who's going to see it? dmob 1 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.

buymeapc Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I have a main GUI that has listview and a label with a counter on it. When the listview is populated, the label is changed with the number of items. I want to lock the GUI while the listview is populated, but when I do that, the counter label can't display the count of items as it increments. I figured if a child GUI is created that has topmost attributes, it can overlap the counter label (that's now locked) and can display a rolling counter just as the now locked on control would. Once all the items have been added to the listview, the child GUI can be hidden again. I hope this makes sense... EDIT: Here's a quick sample as to what I want to do #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global $iItemCount = 0 #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 438) $ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Item", 24, 16, 562, 398, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES, $LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP)) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("0 items", 24, 416, 100, 16, $SS_SUNKEN) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Form1) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### GUISetState(@SW_LOCK, $Form1) For $i = 0 To 10000 GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item " & $i, $ListView1) GUICtrlSetData($Label1, $i & " items "); I'd like this to keep counting while the GUI is locked Next GUISetState(@SW_UNLOCK, $Form1) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited May 14, 2014 by buymeapc
