Anne Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi. I have yet again come across something where I need a little help. I have a decimal number which I would like to display in my GUI. It is the result of a calculation like this: $variable = 3363 * 0.00000000 The actual number (3363) is a variable, but always positive. Now, when I try to set $variable as the data in a Label it comes up like: 3363e-005 Which is 3.363*10^5 It is the same number only as a math expression and not a decimal number. I have tried a lot of things like using Round(), Number() and even String(), but it doesn't seem to help. I tried looking at StringFormat:http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/StringFormat.htm But I can't seem to make heads or tail from it. Any help would be highly appreciated!

JohnOne Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Looks like scientific notation, maybe you should write an example script.

Moderators Melba23 Posted May 19, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2014 Anne,Use StringFormat to force the value into enough decimal places like this:#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cLabel_N = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 300, 20) $cLabel_S = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 50, 300, 20) GUISetState() ; Create numerical value $nVar = 3363 * 0.000000001 ; This will display as scientific notation ; Convert to a string with 20 decimal places - result will be padded with 0s $sVar = StringFormat("%.20f", $nVar) ; So we need to eemove unnecessary 0s While 1 If StringRight($sVar, 1) = "0" Then $sVar = StringTrimRight($sVar, 1) Else ExitLoop EndIf WEnd ; Display results GUICtrlSetData($cLabel_N, $nVar) GUICtrlSetData($cLabel_S, $sVar) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndAll clear?
