Lable size depending on text

Recommended Posts

I'm working on a script, and I ran into a problem. I noticed when you change a font size on a label, and you used default sizing to begin with, the label will not resize to show all the text. Take a look at the example below:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

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

GUISetHelp("notepad")  ; will run notepad if F1 is typed
Opt("GUICoordMode",2)

$widthCell=70
$1=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Line 1 Cell 1",  10, 30, $widthCell) ; first cell 70 width
$2=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Line 2 Cell 1",  -1, 0) ; next line
$3=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Line 3 Cell 2",  0, 0) ; next line and next cell  
$4=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Line 3 Cell 3",  0, -1) ; next cell same line 
$5=GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Line 4 Cell 1",  -3*$widthcell, 0) ; next line Cell1

GUICtrlSetFont($3, 12, 900)

GUISetState ()      ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

This is the GUICtrlCreateLabel example from the helpfile, but I added a GUICtrlSetFont to change the 3rd label's font size. How do I get it to reset itself to a size that shows all the text without hardcoding the size requirement? (Do it automatically)

Second question...if I change the text in the label, is it possible to resize it automatically also?

Nice. This should do the trick. Thanks!

Ok, I designed a script that is a marque. I wrote it so I can change what is posted, and it will resize the control to fit the new text. What is stumping me is how to have it so I have have say 4 controls that scroll at the same time, one after the other, and have the font in different colors for each control.

My goal is to have it so I can have it read off a excel spreadsheet the data I want to scroll. I know how to do that part, but the 4 controls is what is puzzling me at the moment.

edit: a second problem is how do I fix it so when a user maximizes a window, it will show its title bar completely, yet still show my marque? Currently I have it so the marque is in the title bar area. I rather have the marque be a reserved space that no other window can occupy.

current code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <Constants.au3>
HotKeySet("^!z", "_exit")
AdlibEnable('_MoveMarquee', 1)
$size = @DesktopWidth +2 
Global $mygui = GUICreate('my gui', $size, 18, -1, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
guisetfont(12, 900, 0, "ms comic san",$mygui)
GUISetBkColor ( 0x000000, $mygui )
Global $myl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Have a great day!", 0, 0)
GUICtrlSetColor($myl, 0xff0000)
GUISetState()
While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

Func _MoveMarquee()
    Local $aCpos
    $aCpos = ControlGetPos($mygui, '', $myl)
    If $aCpos[0] >= $size Then  
        setsize($myl)
        $len = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($myl))
        $lenth = $len * 10      
        $aCpos[0] =  -$lenth        
    endif       
    ControlMove($mygui, '', $myl, $aCpos[0] + 1, $aCpos[1])
EndFunc

func _exit()
exit    
EndFunc

Func setsize($control, $font = 10)
    ;------------------
    ; -section used for testing
    $sData = "user1 = 7" & @LF & "user2 = 8" & @LF & "user3 = 9"& @LF & "user4 = 8" & @LF & "user = 9" 
    IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir&"/bin/settings.ini", "users", $sData) 
    $inia2= IniReadSection(@ScriptDir&"/bin/settings.ini", "users") 
    $text = "Theresa - "&$inia2[1][1] &"   Charles - "&$inia2[2][1]&"    Tammy - "&$inia2[3][1]&"    John - "&$inia2[4][1]&"    Andrew - "&$inia2[5][1] 
    ; -----------------

    $info = ControlGetPos("my gui", "", $control)
    $data = GUICtrlRead($control)

I got it so I can now scrool the 4 boxes like I want, and have it different colors. My problem now is when I change the text on the second, third or forth box. You can uncomment out where I make the data change and see what I mean. I'm not sure on how to fix it. Thoughts? Help? ;)

This problem has me stumped. I know it is just a matter of getting the boxes in the correct places after the resizing, but how to do that is the ;)

I suspect the solution is putting the 4 controls I have to resize into one, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Still broke with the same problem. ;)

In the movemarque function, I uncomment the setsize for the different boxes, The windows will pile up on each other.

cant you see what i did for the first one

If $aCpos1[0] >= $size and not $stop1 Then

setsize1($myl)

$len = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($myl))

$lenth = $len * 10

$aCpos1[0] = -$lenth

$stop1 = True

endif

and

IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "users", $sData)

$inia2= IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "users")

not

IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir&"/bin/settings.ini", "users", $sData)

$inia2= IniReadSection(@ScriptDir&"/bin/settings.ini", "users")

ummm...no. sorry, I'm not seeing it. (me > ;) ) I'm really trying however. I changed the code to this, and it made no difference.

If $aCpos2[0] >= $size and not $stop2 Then 
        setsize2($my2)
        $len = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($myl))
        $lenth = $len * 10   
        $aCpos2[0] =  -$lenth 
        $stop2 = True
    endif

I commented out the 3rd and 4th boxes so I can keep it simpler while troubleshooting it. The boxes still overlap after the resize.

I simplified the script to figure this out. From what I can tell the ControlMove isn't working, no matter what I put in.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <Constants.au3>
HotKeySet("^!q", "_exit")
AdlibEnable('_MoveMarquee', 1)
$size = @DesktopWidth +3 
DIM $mygui, $myl, $my2
$mygui = GUICreate('my gui', $size, 18, -1, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
guisetfont(11.7, 500, 0, "ms comic san",$mygui)
GUISetBkColor ( 0x000000, $mygui )
$myl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Have a great day!", 0, -2)
$my2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("****", -50, -1)
GUICtrlSetColor($myl, 0xff0000)
GUICtrlSetColor($my2, 0x00FF00)

GUISetState()
While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
    sleep(1)
WEnd

Func _MoveMarquee()
    Local $aCpos1, $aCpos2, $aCpos3, $aCpos4
    $aCpos1 = ControlGetPos($mygui, '', $myl)
    $aCpos2 = ControlGetPos($mygui, '', $my2)
        if $aCpos1[0] >= $size then  
        setsize1()
        $len = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($myl))
        $lenth = $len * 10    
        $aCpos1[0] =  -$lenth     
    Endif

        $len = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($myl))

    ;$info2[0]-($info2[0]+900) gives me a value of -900, which should move the second box. It doesn't???

In testing, I noticed I can't change the position of the control in Func setsize2($font = 10) even when I do it like this: ControlMove('my gui',"", $my2, -500, -1)

That command will work if I put it at the top of the script before Func _MoveMarquee() runs for the first time however. ;)

edit: I did notice it will resize the control, however, it will not move it right or left as needed if I put the ControlMove in the function. It will only move if I have it before it first creates it.

I plan to have it so the marquee can be changed on the fly, and be controled by a GUI that writes both to it and an excel spreadsheet. (Per clien't request) The marquee will be used on 6 computers that are part of a call center. The client wants to have it so there is real time reporting to the call center operators. The reason for 4 controls is I need to be able to change the color of the text. (also a requirement)

I tried playing with it some more, but I can't get past this one.
