Hi Guys,

I have read only text in my gui being pulled from a text file and for some reason it's not refreshing after my script runs. 

$file = FileRead(@ScriptDir & "\temp.txt")
$control = GUICtrlCreateLabel($file, 8, 236, 220, 17)

Is there something I can put in there that allows my GUICtrlCreateLabel to refresh? I have input gui's that the user will need to add data to that I don't want clearing or changing. 

Thanks!

Subz, would I have to create a function for that or would that live in the region area? Here's my script- 

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate")



#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#Region
$Form1_1 = GUICreate("A&K Testing", 235, 285, 430, 353)

The-dude,

When you post code in future please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Here is an example that I was going to share, hopefully it explains how AdlibRegister works, after running the script, open the filename.ini file and add Label_02 = Something and save, the label 02 will update accordingly.

PS: When posting code can you use <> it just makes it easier to read. 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $g_sFileName = @ScriptDir & "\Filename.ini"
Global $g_idLabel_01, $g_idLabel_02

Example()

Func Example()
    If IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "") == "" Then _CreateSampleIni($g_sFileName)
    GUICreate("Labels", 200, 60)
    $g_idLabel_01 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "Label_01 Key doesn't exist"), 10, 10, 180, 20)
    $g_idLabel_02 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_02", "Label_02 Key doesn't exist"), 10, 30, 180, 20)

    GUISetState()

    AdlibRegister("_UpdateLabel") ;~ Checks every 250 ms by default

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _UpdateLabel()
    If IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "Label_01 Key doesn't exist") <> GUICtrlRead($g_idLabel_01) Then
        GUICtrlSetData($g_idLabel_01, IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "Label_01 Key doesn't exist"))
    EndIf
    If IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_02", "Label_02 Key doesn't exist") <> GUICtrlRead($g_idLabel_02) Then
        GUICtrlSetData($g_idLabel_02, IniRead($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_02", "Label_02 Key doesn't exist"))
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func _CreateSampleIni($_sFileName)
    IniWrite($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "Label_01")
;~  IniWrite($g_sFileName, "Labels", "Label_01", "Label_02") ;~ Commented out for example
EndFunc

Subz, I think it's been a long week... I'm totally trying to adapt the above example to my script but I'm not grasping how I would go about doing that. I was hoping for a quick and easy add without having to rework my already existing code. 

Appreciate the advice on posting code! Not sure why I thought it was automatically register that as code and format accordingly.
