FileInstall causes GUI to become garbled?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone - I'm new to posting here (though I've read quite a bit) and I'm pretty new to all of this coding stuff, so please bear with me.

I have a GUI script that I've done for work that installs a "help" file and an "about" file into a directory that it creates. This works beautifully. When I run the script on my own computer, everything works beautifully - all of the GUI stuff lines up correctly, etc. When I run it on anyone else's computer, however, the GUI is completely garbled. When I comment out the FileInstall lines - it works on anyone's computer. I'm completely baffled and I just can't figure out what in the world I'm doing wrong.

(Yes, I know the GUI is very basic... eventually there will be a picture at the top and such, but for right now, I'm just trying to get the basic usability of it working on other people's computers.)

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer!

Just for debug purposes, what happens when you disable/comment out ALL the

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1) parts of the gui .

Do things improve?

FYI , your GUI appears fine on my system, WinXP SP2

No, unfortunately disabling those lines doesn't do anything. I guess that just closes the group.

I'm glad the GUI appears fine on your system.... but, unfortunately, you don't have the help and about files installed for them to actually install them on your system, does that make sense? I suppose I could upload the compiled exe and see what happens...

hmm....u could just zip up those additional files and add them to your initial post, and i will grab from there

Ok , i just used some dummy text to recreate your files, and BINGO experience the same problem you mention

Odd very Odd, it seems if the files already exist then you get the corrupted display.

If you delete the files then let the program virgin fileinstall them, it seems to be fine. (Using the 1=Overwrite Flag didnt make any difference).

As a workaround, delete the files from the USERS PC before your program reinstalls them like this.

FileDelete($TempDir & "RSPA Help.txt")
FileDelete($TempDir & "RSPA About.txt")

FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\my.name\Desktop\RSPA Help.txt",$TempDir & "RSPA Help.txt")
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\my.name\Desktop\RSPA About.txt",$TempDir & "RSPA About.txt")

Unless someone else comes up with why this is happening, i would report it as a potential bug.

I don't know the reason why?, but this work.

Delete the following lines from the beginning of the script and add them back ritght after GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

DirCreate($TempDir)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\my.name\Desktop\RSPA Help.txt",$TempDir & "RSPA Help.txt")
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\my.name\Desktop\RSPA About.txt",$TempDir & "RSPA About.txt")

I have had the exact same experience with the FileInstall command. I used to have the script install a file first, then call my main GUI as a function. It would display properly until I put in the fileinstall command, and commenting it out made the GUI display properly again.

I had to put in the FileInstall command after the GUI was created in order for all the buttons to be in the proper place. (In the case where your main GUI is created as a function, you will have do to as I did and put it in at the bottom of the function.)

What's odd, is that any subsequently created GUIs display properly. Its only the initial one that has the issue. o_O

I had a problem with that too. My GUI would randomly be displayed all screwy. It had a background composed of 10 pictures, about 70% of the time everything would be displayed right, but sometimes they would be all randomly spaced. I couldn't figure it out, because there were no variables deciding where they go. I had about 150 fileinstalls in it, i will try taking them out and see if the problem still occurs.

Have had this problem as well and i know exactly how to fix it. I simply placed some GUISetState() functions in the middle of my GUIFunctions. So basically, i would make the GUI visible without all the controls finished and continue adding controls. Sometimes when you do too many controls at once and then call GUISetState(), it gets messed up. A user can't even notice that the controls were created in sections since it takes about 10ms to create all the controls even with the GUISetState interruptions. That is roughly 1/100th of a second and therefore nobody can even notice it.

Just try this and see if it works for you:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <misc.au3>
#include <DSNSetup.au3>

$TempDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\" & @UserName & "\RSPActs\"

Have had this problem as well and i know exactly how to fix it. I simply placed some GUISetState() functions in the middle of my GUIFunctions. So basically, i would make the GUI visible without all the controls finished and continue adding controls. Sometimes when you do too many controls at once and then call GUISetState(), it gets messed up. A user can't even notice that the controls were created in sections since it takes about 10ms to create all the controls even with the GUISetState interruptions. That is roughly 1/100th of a second and therefore nobody can even notice it.

Just try this and see if it works for you:

Heh. For those of us who's code it isn't, can you point out the relevant changes? ;) I need more coffee before I can sift through unfamiliar code. :lmao:

Thanks so much for all of your responses. I moved the FileInstall commands to after the GUI creation and now it works beautifully. Now to figure out how to report a potential bug... ;):lmao:

Actually, if it is important for the FileInstall to come before the GUI creation for (as in my case) customization reasons, I've found that a good workaround is to place a Sleep command just before your GUISetState(@SW_SHOW). I don't know why giving the script some extra time to work would affect button position, but for whatever reason, it works.

Yes, if you look at the functions where the buttons, labels, menus, etc. are being created, you will notice that i randomly placed GUISetState(@SW_Show) between every so many guictrlcreate functions. This for some reason fixed many of the problems that i had when my GUI got scrambled. It just happens that it doesn't like to create all the controls and the GUI at the exact same time. Who knows, you could report it as a bug, the only thing is that it is nearly impossible to replicate multiple times, so pinpointing the bug would be a nightmare.

I hope that helps.

Actually, when the code occurs that causes the GUI to be scrambled in this way, it happens 100% of the time. I'd probably be able to live with it if it were just a sporadic event.

I'll try the extra SW_Show commands though, and experiment with it instead of the delays.

Actually, I can replicate this 100% of the time in my two GUI scripts. I'll probably report it... just so that it's looked into. :P
