Customize GUI label

[topten]

I read a text from file

$readfile = FileRead("mytext.txt")
$aOutPut1 = StringRegExp($readfile, '>(.*?)<', 3)
Global $messageproj = $aOutPut1[0]
Global $messageproj2 = $aOutPut1[2]

As a result I have this text in var:  "Line 1" & @CRLF & "Line 2" & @CRLF & "Line 3"

Then later I am trying to display the information on the gui

$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel($aOutPut1[2], 25, 30, 480, 140)

My idea is display it this way

Line1
Line2
Line3

But instead I am still getting this

"Line 1" & @CRLF & "Line 2" & @CRLF & "Line 3"

Can it work this way?

Line1
Line2
Line3

you can have either a multiline label (search the forum for examples), or an Edit control - possibly with customized background color and borders, and with $ES_READONLY style. personally i find the latter easier.

topten,

Verify the content of your variables.  For more help post a runnable reproducer.  This works for me...

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

local $var = "Line 1" & @CRLF & "Line 2" & @CRLF & "Line 3"

local $gui010 = guicreate('',200,200)
local $lbl010 = guictrlcreatelabel($var,0,0,200,200)
guisetstate()

while 1
    switch guigetmsg()
        case $gui_event_close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thank you, kylomas, I understand what you mean, but if you do it this way:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$var = FileRead ("save1.txt"); in the file I have record "Line 1" & @CRLF & "Line 2" & @CRLF & "Line 3"
local $gui010 = guicreate('',200,200)
local $lbl010 = guictrlcreatelabel($var,0,0,200,200)
guisetstate()
while 1
   switch guigetmsg()
   case $gui_event_close
      Exit
   EndSwitch
   WEnd

Then it won't work. May be I should use some different way of data reading?

worked for me as shown.

Heh, Fantastic! Thanks a lot MikahS. Just in case if you know, How did it consider the line break from the txt file and ignored @CRLF to be used then as a part of the code after having been read from the file?

[MikahS]

I did nothing out of the ordinary. here is the code I used to show you that example.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>


Local $var = FileRead("C:\Users\STAT001\Desktop\body.txt")
Local $gui010 = GUICreate('', 200, 200)
Local $lbl010 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($var, 0, 0, 200, 200)
GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $gui_event_close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

So, I would think it would work with your file. If it still doesn't, any chance you could reproduce a similar file that shows this behavior?

Yes, it works for me too! Thanx!

Glad it works.
