Weird UpDown Control Behavior

[alawoona]

I am writing a script with a complicated GUI. I have created some updown controls which the script disables and hides. Subsequently the script enables and shows the updown controls. When the latter happens the width of the updown control changes. See the simplified script below and the screencapture images.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$TEST = GUICreate("TEST", 255, 91, 197, 115)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 26, 28, 36, 21)
$Updown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input1, BitOR($UDS_WRAP,$UDS_ALIGNRIGHT))
GUICtrlSetLimit($Updown1, 59, 0)
$Hide = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide", 87, 27, 53, 21, 0)
$Show = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show", 162, 27, 53, 21, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    Case $Hide
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_DISABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    Case $Show
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_ENABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_ENABLE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_SHOW)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Run the script:

Click Hide:

Click Show and this is what happens to the Updown Control:

Now click Show again: ?????

It appears to work ok as long as you do not use the disable and enable functions.

Edit - Another way that works

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$TEST = GUICreate("TEST", 255, 91, 197, 115)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 26, 28, 36, 21)
$Updown1 = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input1, BitOR($UDS_WRAP,$UDS_ALIGNRIGHT))
GUICtrlSetLimit($Updown1, 59, 0)
$Hide = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide", 87, 27, 53, 21, 0)
$Show = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show", 162, 27, 53, 21, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    Case $Hide
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_DISABLE + $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_DISABLE + $GUI_HIDE)
    Case $Show
            GUICtrlSetState ($Input1, $GUI_ENABLE + $GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Updown1, $GUI_ENABLE + $GUI_SHOW)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanx BigDod - that does work so I will be pragmatic and use what works.
