CyberSlug Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 GUI devs: Could you remove line 4252 of guibox.cpp?:SendMessage(lpCtrl->hWnd, TBM_SETTICFREQ,10,0); // set progress-step to 10According to this website:To gain more control over the positioning of the tick marks, use TBM_SETTIC. Given a position, this message will place a mark at that point. However, if TBM_SETTICFREQ was used previously, TBM_SETTIC won't place tick marks correctly. Additionally, TBM_GETTIC and TBM_ GETPTICS won't return useful information other than a sequence of numbers up to the count of tick marks. So, to set tick marks, use either TBM_SETTICFREQ and TBS_AUTOTICKS, or just TBM_SETTIC. Also keep in mind that the control stores tick mark information in an internal array in the order that they have been set. Using TBM_GETTIC or TBM_GETPTICS reflects this.I'd like to use TBM_SETTIC in some of the slider wrapper functions I'm working on.... For example, I'd like to have tick marks display properly on my http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/public/CyberSlug/logslider.au3Screenshot shows GUI compiled with "hacked" version of guibox.cpp where TBM_SETTIC works properly: Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

jpm Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 * BUMP *Any thoughts on the above post?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I have no problem to remove it if it display something correct which is not the case.What can I put that's will be OK for you?Happy new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Basically, the call to TBM_SETTICFREQ makes it *impossible* to use TBM_SETTIC (custom-spaced tic marks) ...If you completely remove the line SendMessage(lpCtrl->hWnd, TBM_SETTICFREQ,10,0), then:1) TBM_SETTIC can be used successfully and would allow me to put tick marks at arbitrary locations such as 2,4,8,16,etc.2) The default step size of 1 will be used by for the tic marks, and user can call GuiCtrlSendMsg($ref, $TBM_SETTICFREQ, $ticFreq, 0) if he wants to change the step size....So it will display correctly! NOTE: Because the default progress-step is 1, you should probably make a minor change to the help file example: GUICtrlSetLimit(-1,20,0) ; change max value to 20 Edited January 2, 2005 by CyberSlug Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

No tick marks appear (except the very first and very last marks, of course).It's not *that* important, but I thought I should bring up the issue before AutoIt 3.0.103 is officially released Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
