Hi.

I am wanting to have a script that when you push a button it will put data from an input box into a list (like  data log) but the list must also have the previous data as well. I have code that dose this but I have the problem of it not been able to scroll as I am using an input box to store my data.

Any ideas?

Thanks. 

Global $top = 0

GUICreate("...",200,300)
$top=$top+10
GUICtrlCreateLabel("-- input hear --",2,$top,150,20)

$top=$top+20
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("",2,$top,100,20)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit",105,$top-1.5,90,23)

$top=$top+25
$View = GUICtrlCreateInput("-- data under hear --",2,$top,196,100,0x0004,0x0800)

GUISetState()
While 1
    $GUI_MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $GUI_MSG = -3
            Exit

        Case $GUI_MSG = $Button
            GUICtrlSetData($View,GUICtrlRead($View)&@CRLF&"data: "&GUICtrlRead($Input))
            GUICtrlSetData($Input,"")


    EndSelect
WEnd

kingjacob90,

Inputs are forced to a single line - use an edit control instead:

; Use named constants - not "magic numbers"
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <ScrollBarsConstants.au3>

Global $top = 0

GUICreate("...", 200, 300)

$top = $top + 10
GUICtrlCreateLabel("-- input here --", 2, $top, 150, 20)

$top = $top + 20
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 2, $top, 100, 20)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 105, $top - 1.5, 90, 23)

$top = $top + 25
; Use a read-only edit control
$View = GUICtrlCreateEdit("-- data under hear --", 2, $top, 196, 100, BitOr($ES_READONLY, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL), $WS_EX_STATICEDGE)

GUISetState()


While 1
    ; I prefer Switch to Select
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $Button
            GUICtrlSetData($View, GUICtrlRead($View) & @CRLF & "data: " & GUICtrlRead($Input))
            ; Scroll to the bottom
            _GUICtrlEdit_Scroll($View, $SB_SCROLLCARET)
            GUICtrlSetData($Input, "")
            ; Refocus on the input
            GUICtrlSetState($Input, $GUI_FOCUS)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

kingjacob90,

Glad I could help. But when you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
