SplashTextOn returns handle for use with ControlSetText?

[martin 68]

The help refers to 'Static1' as the id for SplashTextOn. I know this works but why is it Static1?

The handle returned form SplashTextOn can be used by ControlSetText acording to the help file but I can't see how to do this.

The example below shows how my attempt to use the handle fails.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

;use 'Static1'
Dim $Ff[4] = ["one","two","three","four"]
$spt = SplashTextOn("Try splashing",'',400,150)
sleep(2000)
$ms = ''
for $n = 0 to 3
    $ms = $ms & $Ff[$n] & @LF
    ControlSetText("Try splashing",'','Static1',$ms)
    sleep(2000)
Next
sleep(300)
SplashOff()

;use control ID

msgbox(0,'Now same again ..','.. but use the control id')


Dim $Ff[4] = ["one","two","threee","four"]
$spt = SplashTextOn("Try splashing",'',400,150)
sleep(2000)
$ms = ''
for $n = 0 to 3
    $ms = $ms & $Ff[$n] & @LF
    ControlSetText("Try splashing",'',$spt,$ms)
    sleep(2000)
Next
sleep(300)
SplashOff()

Use the handle returned by SplashTextOn for the title parameter in ControlSetText.

;use 'Static1'
Dim $Ff[4] = ["one","two","three","four"]
$spt = SplashTextOn("Try splashing",'',400,150)
sleep(2000)
$ms = ''
for $n = 0 to 3
    $ms = $ms & $Ff[$n] & @LF
    ControlSetText("Try splashing",'','Static1',$ms)
    sleep(1000)
Next
sleep(300)
SplashOff()

;use control ID

msgbox(0,'Now same again ..','.. but use the control id')


Dim $Ff[4] = ["one","two","three","four"]
$spt = SplashTextOn("Try splashing",'',400,150)
sleep(2000)
$ms = ''
for $n = 0 to 3
    $ms = $ms & $Ff[$n] & @LF
    ControlSetText($spt, '', 'Static1', $ms)
    sleep(1000)
Next
sleep(300)
SplashOff()

Ah, I see.

Thank you MHz
