updown control

[monji]

hi,

i'm trying to make my updown increment/decrement the value of the associated input control by 0.1. i have an idea on how to do this, but i need to find out which of the buttons was pressed. is there a way to know that?

i have this, but it only works properly if you never edit the input manually. if you input a number, it will be multiplied by 0.1 when you press the updown. if you enter a decimal, the updown will ignore it and will continue from the last number (before you edited the input).

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
; == GUI generated with Koda ==
$Form1 = GUICreate("some form", 182, 114, 352, 335)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 25, 15, 137, 21, -1, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
$Updown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input1)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 25, 40, 137, 21, -1, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
$Updown2 = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input2)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("exit", 55, 75, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

opt( 'GuiOnEventMode', 1 )
GUISetOnEvent( $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'quit' )
GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $Updown1, 'onUpDown' )
GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $Updown2, 'onUpDown' )
GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $Button1, 'quit' )

While 1
    sleep(100)
WEnd

Func onUpDown()
    $val = GUICtrlRead( @GUI_CtrlId-1 )
    GUICtrlSetData( @GUI_CtrlId-1, StringFormat( '%.1f', $val * 0.1 ) )
EndFunc

Func quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

my idea is to copy the value of the input to a dummy, make the updown increment/decrement the value of the dummy, then the input value would be set to 0.1*(dummy value). so im asking if we can somehow detect which button was pressed. edit: that or just make the input value increase or decrease by 0.1 when pressed lol, i get needlessly long-winded sometimes

i hope there is an easy way to do this.

; use the above or
Func onUpDown1()
    $val = StringFormat( '%.1f', (GUICtrlRead( $Input1 )) * 0.1)
;$val = StringFormat( '%.1f', $val * 0.1 )

good luck

err, no i don't think that's it.

what i mean is which button in an updown control was pressed (up or down), not which updown control was pressed. there are 2 controls in the gui because i was testing some things a while back (something about putting the input control in and out of focus)

and the stringformat is there because i want to see '1.0' instead of '1' in the input control
