Help drawing lines in GUI

[jgbonc]

New to AutoIT and im having trouble understanding the GUICtrlSetGraphic and all of the other graphics functions any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I basically made a template GUI for me to mess around with until I get comfortable enough to actually attempt to code some thing.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <FontConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
MainGUI()

Func MainGUI()
;;CREATING THE BASE GUI(OWNER)
GUICreate("Night Reports", 1000, 300)
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
;;GUISetIcon("PathtoIcon")

;;Set Variables
Local $msg, $create, $programname



;; Run the GUI until the window is closed
GUISetState()
    While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop



;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;BUTTON CREATION;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
    $create = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Report", 10, 30, 100)
    GUICtrlSetPos(-1, 0, 260, 1000, 40)

;   $programname = GUICtrlCreateInput("INV.FLOW7", 0, 0)
;   GUICtrlSetPos(-1, 0, 0, 50, 20)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;BUTTON CREATION STOP;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;GRAPHICS CREATION;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1, $GUI_GR_LINE, 10, 10)


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;GRAPHICS CREATION STOP;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;BUTTON FUNCTIONS;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
            Case $msg = $create







;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;BUTTON FUNCTIONS STOP;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;



        EndSelect

    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>MainGUI

I fixed the issue my self, it was a stupid mistake. Another question about the code above. Is it the best way to keep the GUI active ? The loop statement that I use seems.... sensitive about where things go.

 

Thanks J

You were creating the gui elements inside the While loop.

You were also using the  GUICtrlSetGraphic function before having created the graphic area itself with a GUICtrlCreateGraphic
