Updating a window

[greggklein]

I would like to update a window with a new problem an update counter for correct and missed problems without deleting window and then creating another. I would like a smooth transition. If you could run the following code, you'll see what I mean about the non smooth transition with a new window create each time. Sorry I am a newbie:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$a = InputBox("How many questions","How many questions would you like to try?")

$m = InputBox("Max Number","WHAT IS THE BIGGEST NUMBER THAT YOU WANT TO ADD?")

$c = 0

$w = 0

$j = 0

While $c<$a

$x = Round(Random(0,$m))

$y = Round(Random(0,$m))

$font = "Comic Sans MS"

GUICreate("ADD THESE NUMBERS", 500,300, -1, -1)

GUISetBkColor(16777215)

GUICtrlCreatePic(@WorkingDir&"\images\main\correct.bmp",5,5,16,16)

GUICtrlCreatePic(@WorkingDir&"\images\main\false.bmp",5,30,16,16)

GUICtrlCreateLabel($w,25,5)

GUICtrlCreateLabel($j,25,30)

$k = GUICtrlCreateInput("",235,200,100,20)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("CHECK ANSWER",125,200,100,20)

GUICtrlSetState($btn, $GUI_FOCUS)

Send(@TAB)

GUISetFont (72, 400, -1, $font)

GUICtrlCreateLabel($x&" + "&$y,125,50,400)

GUISetState ()

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

ExitLoop

EndSelect

Wend

If GUICtrlRead($k) = $x+$y Then

SoundPlay(@WorkingDir&"\sounds\RING.wav",0)

$w = $w+1

EndIf

If GUICtrlRead($k) <> $x+$y Then

SoundPlay(@WorkingDir&"\sounds\BUZZ2.wav",0)

MsgBox(0,"REMEMBER!!", $x & " + " & $y & " = " & $x+$y & " not " & GUICtrlRead($k))

$j = $j+1

EndIf

GUIDelete()

$c = $c+1

WEnd

MsgBox(0,"# CORRECT","You got " & $w & " out of " & $a & " correct!")

I made lots of changes... However, the biggest one is that I renamed most of your variables. It really helps to make variable names descriptive, not just things like $j and $m. Ask if you don't understand anything that goes on in this code.

Thanks

I did add GuiCtrlSetData($txtUserAnswer, "") at the bottom because input field was not returning blank

Thanks again

[greggklein]

If I wanted to update a picture in window instead what should I enetr?

Thanks for your help

here is the code

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

WinClose("CHOOSE A GAME TO PLAY")

$numberQuestions = InputBox("How many questions", "How many questions would you like to try?")

$max = InputBox("Max Number", "WHAT IS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF COINS THAT YOU WANT TO ADD?")

$questionsAsked = 0

$right = 0

$wrong = 0

$font = "Comic Sans MS"

GUICreate("HOW MUCH MONEY?", 700, 402, -1, -1)

GUISetBkColor(16777215)

GUICtrlCreatePic(@WorkingDir&"\images\main\correct.bmp",5,286,16,16)

GUICtrlCreatePic(@WorkingDir&"\images\main\false.bmp",5,311,16,16)

$lblRight = GUICtrlCreateLabel($right, 25, 286)

$lblWrong = GUICtrlCreateLabel($wrong, 25, 311)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("CHECK ANSWER",240,350,100,20)

$txtUserAnswer = GUICtrlCreateInput("",135,350,100,20)

GUICtrlSetState($btn, $GUI_FOCUS)

Send(@TAB)

GUISetFont(72, 400, -1, $font)

$money = Random(1,$max,1)

$pic = GUICtrlCreatePic (@WorkingDir&"\images\money\"&$money&".gif",0,0,700,281)

GUISetState()

While $questionsAsked < $numberQuestions

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

If GUICtrlRead($txtUserAnswer) = $money Then

SoundPlay(@WorkingDir & "\sounds\RING.wav", 0)

$right += 1

GuiCtrlSetData($lblRight,$right)

Else

SoundPlay(@WorkingDir & "\sounds\BUZZ2.wav", 0)

MsgBox(0, "INCORRECT!", "There is "&$money& " cents not " & GUICtrlRead($txtUserAnswer))

$wrong += 1

GuiCtrlSetData($lblWrong,$wrong)

EndIf

$questionsAsked += 1

GuiCtrlSetData($txtUserAnswer, "")

GUICtrlSetState($btn, $GUI_FOCUS)

Send(@TAB)

If $questionsAsked < $numberQuestions Then

$money = Random(1,$max,1)

GuiCtrlSetData($pic, ????????????????????????)

EndIf

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

EndSelect

Wend

MsgBox(0, "# CORRECT", "You got " & $right & " out of " & $questionsAsked & " correct!")

Run("games.exe")

[greggklein]

If $questionsAsked < $numberQuestions Then

$money = Random(1,$max,1)

GUICtrlCreatePic (@WorkingDir&"\images\money\"&$money&".gif",0,0,700,281)

almost works it puts image in 1 step too late

[greggklein]

I figured it out

If $questionsAsked < $numberQuestions Then

$money = Random(1,$max,1)

GUICtrlDelete($pic)

$pic = GUICtrlCreatePic (@WorkingDir&"\images\money\"&$money&".gif",0,0,700,281)

EndIf

I just deleted pic and then redefined it

Look at GuiCtrlSetImage()
