ControlSetText

[the_lord_mephy]

Is there a way to set the text of a control n number of times. For example. If I was making a hangman game and i wanted to set a variable as "_ " and i have a 5 letter word, how could i set the text of a control to _ _ _ _ _

example for ya

run("notepad.exe")
sleep(1000)
controlsend("Unt","","Edit1","hi^f")
$x="-----"
sleep(1000)
controlsettext("Find","","Edit1",$x)

Maybe a bit better example:

run("notepad.exe")
sleep(1000)
controlsend("Unt","","Edit1","hi^f")
$x="-----"
sleep(1000)
controlsettext("Find","","Edit1",$x)


for $i = 1 to 5
$x=stringleft(stringleft("Death",$i)&"-----",5)
controlsettext("Find","","Edit1",$x)
sleep(1000)
next
