Chicken Scartch Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The code below was taken from a script I recently wrote. What I want to know is why $lblDisplay doesn't show up once the GUI/Canvas gets painted onto the screen? I first thought it was because $lblDisplay is actually empty since it is not displaying anything, but then - $lblBackground shows up and it is also "empty". To solve this, I actually had to move the $lblDisplay below "GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)". I'm just curious why this is happening. Thanks for your insights. #include <GUIConstants.au3> ; Create the canvas $frmMain = GUICreate("ICP Workstation GUI", 616, 434, 327, 174) ; Set the icon to be used at the top left corner of the window GUISetIcon("C:\Documents and Settings\Koua Lo\My Documents\icons\Mac Hardware\iMac.ico") ; Create the "System Information" group $grpDisplay = GUICtrlCreateGroup(" System Information ", 240, 8, 368, 417) $lblDisplay = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 254, 56, 340, 356, $WS_VSCROLL) $txtLookup = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 246, 24, 281, 21) $btnSearch = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 530, 24, 70, 21, 0) $lblBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 247, 48, 353, 372, -1, $WS_EX_STATICEDGE) GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1) ; Individual buttons $btnMySys = GUICtrlCreateButton("My System Info", 8, 13, 89, 21, 0) $btnPing = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test Network", 8, 36, 89, 21, 0) $lstMain = GUICtrlCreateList("", 104, 13, 129, 409); List viewer $btnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("E&xit", 8, 400, 89, 21, 0) $btnClear = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Clear", 8, 59, 89, 21, 0) ; Paint the canvas onto the screen GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $btnExit Exit EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Maybe I'm missing something but it appears that since you have your background 'drawing' after the lbldisplay its 'drawing' over it. #include <GUIConstants.au3> ; Create the canvas $frmMain = GUICreate("ICP Workstation GUI", 616, 434, 327, 174) ; Set the icon to be used at the top left corner of the window GUISetIcon("C:\Documents and Settings\Koua Lo\My Documents\icons\Mac Hardware\iMac.ico") ; Create the "System Information" group $lblBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 247, 48, 353, 372, -1, $WS_EX_STATICEDGE) $grpDisplay = GUICtrlCreateGroup(" System Information ", 240, 8, 368, 417) $lblDisplay = GUICtrlCreateLabel("54654654654654", 254, 56, 340, 356, $WS_VSCROLL) $txtLookup = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 246, 24, 281, 21) $btnSearch = GUICtrlCreateButton("Search", 530, 24, 70, 21, 0) ;$lblBackground = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 247, 48, 353, 372, -1, $WS_EX_STATICEDGE) GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1) ; Individual buttons $btnMySys = GUICtrlCreateButton("My System Info", 8, 13, 89, 21, 0) $btnPing = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test Network", 8, 36, 89, 21, 0) $lstMain = GUICtrlCreateList("", 104, 13, 129, 409); List viewer $btnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("E&xit", 8, 400, 89, 21, 0) $btnClear = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Clear", 8, 59, 89, 21, 0) ; Paint the canvas onto the screen GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $btnExit Exit EndSwitch WEnd EDIT: I should probably be a bit more descriptive... sorry hunger talking. I moved the $lblBackgroung to the top, allowing the lbldisplay to draw over it. I commented out the original line so you could see what I did.
