Adding to a label

[BALA]

I want to add additional text to a label, rather than replace the text already in the label. I was thinking of using GUICtrlSetData, but that seems to just erase the current text, then replace it with the text you specify.

For example, if a label contains "Hel" , I want to be able to add "lo" to it to create the word "Hello."

GUICtrlSetData($label, GUICtrlRead($label) & "this is text added to label")

It seemed to work, but i wonder why the message box says three.

Because you didn't read the label, therefore it would be something like this:

MsgBox(0, "test", GUICtrlRead($label))

What do you expect it to say then ? The text ? BALA, BALA, BALA.... After all this time ?

[xcal]

$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel

$label would be holding the control id.

Hehe, don't worry about it BALA, sometimes I make similar silly mistakes. Sometimes all it takes is reviewing each line of the script and asking yourself "What did I do wrong?".

Sorry to bump an old post, but I just remembered that adding a 1 parameter to GUICtrlSetData won't "delete" any of the previous text:

GUICtrlSetData($myedit, "this is a test adding to a label using the 1 parameter", 1)

I wasn't completely awake when I had responded to this, sorry I had given you false information (although it did infact work).
