Printing out info to GUICtrlCreateEdit

[Psychobird25]

Here's my code so far:

 

Global $getEditGui = GUICtrlSetData(-1, "test")

This initializes the GUI and sets the "test" string.

Later on in the script, I use this code to record my mouse position. My goal is to print out the contents of $getCoords into the GUI without it executing it. Also, I want to make sure I can do this as many times as I want without it erasing the previous edits. My current code just prints "1" in the GUI and executes the contents of $getCoords

Func getCords()
   Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
   WinActivate("Calculator")
   sleep(3000)
   $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
   $MousePos[0] ; Mouse X position
   $MousePos[1] ; Mouse Y position
      $getCoords = MouseClick("Left", $MousePos[0], $MousePos[1])
      $getEditGui = GUICtrlSetData(-1, $getCoords)
EndFunc

How about something like this.

$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 176, 32, 121, 97, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT, $ES_READONLY))

; some code here..

$getEditGui = GUICtrlSetData($Edit, $getCoords)

BTW, can you post the working code so we can see what went wrong.

@KickStarter15 GuictrlSetData, will overwrite the contents of the edit control, @Psychobird25 look at the _GuiCtrlEdit functions for example: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_GUICtrlEdit_AppendText.htm

Not if you set the last parameter of GUICtrlSetData() to "non-empty"...
From the Help file:

default [optional]
Combo, List: The default value.
Edit, Input: If non-empty (""), the string is inserted at the current insertion point (caret).

And, this thing is showed in the GUICtrlCreateEdit() in the Help file:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    GUICreate("My GUI edit") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    Local $idMyedit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("First line" & @CRLF, 176, 32, 121, 97, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $WS_VSCROLL)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    Send("{END}")

    ; will be append dont' forget 3rd parameter
    GUICtrlSetData($idMyedit, "Second line", 1)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Best Regards.

The problem with this method is that it depends where the caret is, to me the GuiCtrlEdit_AppendText is more reliable.
