GuiCtrlCreateEdit & GuiCtrlSetData Question! :)

Hello!

When utilizing GUICtrlSetData to edit what is displayed in a GUICtrlCreateEdit field, is there a way to just make it write new lines rather than clearing what's there and writing the new information?

For example ...  

GUICtrlSetData ($editField, "Line one"&@CRLF ,  "")
GUICtrlSetData ($editField, "Line two"&@CRLF ,  "")
GUICtrlSetData ($editField, "Line three"&@CRLF ,  "")

What happens now if those three things run one after another, the Edit field displays "Line One" , then that is replaced with "Line Two" and so on with the previous information disappearing and the subsequent taking its place. I'd like for it to say all three, one after another. Any documents on how I may accomplish this?

Thanks!

Reizvoller,

Use the GUlEdit UDF - the _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText function is the one you want.

Hello there!

Melba23, that sounds just peachy! Trouble I am having now is locating the UDF. I searched the forums for that name and I went through the Wiki ( https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/User_Defined_Functions ) . I feel like I am once again over looking something plainly obvious... If it's not too much trouble could you spare the time to provide a link? Thanks a bunch!

@Reizvoller just do a search in the help file for _GuiCtrlEdit_AppendText. If you have the current version of AutoIt, it's in there ;)

Read the help file more carefully. The last parameter of GUICtrlSetData can't be an empty string if you want to append to the text there already. 

;~ Change this line
GUICtrlSetData ($editField, "Line three"&@CRLF ,  "")
:` To this
GUICtrlSetData ($editField, "Line three"&@CRLF ,  "x") ; the last parameter can be anything as long as it's not an empty string.

 

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
