clear gui

[cracker]

hello in my actuall program it would be nice to easylie clear the wohle gui. that means just to del all labels, input boxes etc... that would be a kind of repaint(). Or is there no other way then to destroy gui and to create an new one?

thanks for help

GUICtrlSetState

Maybe you could create it new. (EDIT: Sorry, I just saw, you wrote it) Thats how I did an identical task in my program...

But could you describe, why you want all buttons and so on empty???

As far as I know: In the new beta should be some kind of refresh!

@ fossil rock no this dont helps me because the input fields etc are not declared in variables.

i dont want it only empty i want that all items go away so guictrlsetsate($all,@sw_hide) is what i want. but i think i will solve this problem other because its not possible (it looks like) thx for your tries

You could add your controls into an array, then loop through them to hide them all with GuiCtrlSetState().

To make it easy to address your controls, then consider using Enum on the variables to use for indexing the array.

Small example

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $ctrl[3]
Enum $gui, $button1, $button2

$ctrl[$gui] = GUICreate('title')
$ctrl[$button1] = GUICtrlCreateButton('text 1', 0,  0)
$ctrl[$button2] = GUICtrlCreateButton('text 2', 0, 30)
GUISetState()

Sleep(3000)

For $i = 1 To UBound($ctrl)-1
    GUICtrlSetState($ctrl[$i], $GUI_HIDE)
Next

While WinActive('title')
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

That got me thinking... I'd never done this before but works well:

#include <guiconstants.au3>

Local $Main = _GUI_CreateMain()
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main[1])

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Main[3]
            GUIDelete($Main[1])
            $Main = _GUI_CreateMain()
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Main[1])
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _GUI_CreateMain()
    Local $aCtrls[4]
    $aCtrls[1] = GUICreate('Some GUI', 200, 100)
    $aCtrls[2] = GUICtrlCreateCombo('', 10, 10, 180, 100)
    $aCtrls[3] = GUICtrlCreateButton('Click Me', 75, 50, 50, 30)
    Return $aCtrls
EndFunc

The same concept of using arrays as MHz.

yeah it works great !!! thx a lot again. but now i have an other problem. I want to make my window scrollable so i created it like this:

: AutoIt

GUICreate("Delete It",600,500,-1,-1,$WS_VSCROLL+$WS_SIZEBOX+$WS_SYSMENU)

but if i scroll now the window doesn´t goes down... iam sure i have to tell the window "how to scroll" but i didn´t found the answer in the help file how to do this can you help me again?

does nobody understand where my problem is or should i create a new thread for a new quesion???(sorry for double post...)

I really didn't know what you were saying, do you have a working example of what it is you'd like to be done and what it is you'd like to change?

[cracker]

oh i will try to explain it more exactly:

i have a gui the size is for example 500 x 400 . now i add in a while loop elemts to the gui (labels, checkbox and so on). And its logical that the gui is at any time full and the next elemts would be displayed out of the gui (for example:

GUICtrlCreateLabel("test",40,500) oÝ÷ Ù»­¡÷(º»§¶Ú,yè­²u×jÇ+¢Y[j¶®¶­sduT7&VFRgV÷C·FW7BgV÷C²ÃSÃCÂÓÂÓÂb33cµu5õe45$ôÄÂ

now i see the scrollbar on the right side but if i scroll down it "dont moves down" maybe the screenshot in the attachment can help you to understand my problem. Or maybe you just have a example with a gui and $WS_VSCROLL

thanks

No, what I meant was, I don't feel like making my own GUI to try and provide a "working" example for you. Since this is a request, I would suggest making a working GUI, with the example that is not working, so we can debug it for you.

[cracker]

ok here try this out:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("test",500,400,-1,-1,$WS_VSCROLL+$WS_SIZEBOX+$WS_SYSMENU)
$i=0

While $i < 24
    
GUICtrlCreateLabel("test"&$i,20,20*$i)  
    

$i = $i+1

WEnd


GUISetState()


While 1
    
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

WEnd

i hope this is what you wanted

[cracker]

it looks like that this hasn´t helped you again... what have i done wrong? pls it is importent for me that this scroll works
