_GUICtrlEdit_Undo not work in a loop?

[cyanidemonkey]

I am using a Edit field as a text display, I am trying to do a pause that waits 60 seconds before retry and want to add a counter at the end of the text that counts but it just keeps adding text, ie; (1) (2) (3) etc, I wanted to add (1) remove it then add (2) etc...

Does _GUICtrlEdit_Undo not work in loops?

Local $j = 1
      Do
         _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($idEdit," (" & $j & ")")
         Sleep(1000)
         _GUICtrlEdit_Undo($idEdit)
         $j +=1
      Until $j = 60

Result:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) and so on.

Using

ControlSetText($hWnd, $j, "[CLASS: Edit]", "")

instead of

_GUICtrlEdit_Undo()

might work out better for you.

Why are you misusing an Edit control for this rather then using the Label control which is specifically designed for displaying text?

Melba is correct, you might actually help yourself by using a label control and

GUICtrlSetData()

ahh, good point, thanks guys, I'll look at changing the code to use a label control.
