GUICreateEDit Problem

[MajSlayer420]

Hello I have a edit box in my program to log events.

After about 5 hours or so , My edit box stops updating,

It stops printing the log data in the editbox.

Is this a known problem? and is there a fix?

Thanks,

There is a fixed limit on how much data an edit box can hold. About 32K if I remember correctly. It's a Windows thing, not AutoIt.

Is there a way to reset/clear the editbox so it willl continue to output data?

Thanks,

Take a look at If...Then, StringLen and GUICtrlSetData.

GUICtrlSetLimit() will fix your issue.

I have used this before ..try this...

Global $EditBufSize = 281474976710656, $EM_LIMITTEXT = 0x00c5

$EDIT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Your settings go here")
GUICtrlRecvMsg($EDIT, $EM_LIMITTEXT, $EditBufSize, 0)

This should give your edit control a big enough buffer
