GUICtrlCreateAvi

[Gene]

I waited until the GUI development seemed fairly mature to get into it. I installed the 1/1/2005 unstable version. I'm starting with the examples from the help file.

Oh, if this should be in the BUGS section... I tried there, but wasn't allowed to.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

The line above should have " marks, not angle brackets, shouldn't it?

$ACS_CENTER = 1
$ACS_AUTOPLAY = 4
$ACS_TIMER = 8 
$ACS_NONTRANSPARENT = 16

GUICreate ("My GUI Animation",300,200)
$ani1 = GUICtrlCreateAvi (@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll",150, 50,10)

$buttonstart = GUICtrlCreateButton ("start",50,150,70,22)
$buttonstop  = GUICtrlCreateButton ("stop",150,150,70,22)

GuiSetState( )

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
      case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
        
      case $msg = $buttonstart
        GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 1)
        
      case $msg = $buttonstop
        GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 0)
        
    EndSelect
Wend

Even after changing the angle brackets to quote marks and copying the GUIConstants.au3 file to the same folder as ExAVI.Au3, I got the error listed below.

== Begin Error Msg ================

Line 3 (File "I:\AutoIt3\Beta\050101(us v3.unstable)\Examples\ExAVI.Au3"):

$ACS_CENTER = 1

^ ERROR

Error: Cannot assign values to constants.

== End Error Msg ================

I'm sure some one will tell me how, if I have erred. I hope someone will confirm that I haven't.

Hmmmn, I have reinstalled, changed the quotes back to angle brackets, re-downloaded and reinstalled, changed the angle brackets back to quotes, and I still got the same error message. Even after I pasted the contents of GUIConstants.au3 (except for the first line) into the example in place of the include statement, still the error.

When I commented out the lines...

;$ACS_CENTER = 1
;$ACS_AUTOPLAY = 4
;$ACS_TIMER = 8 
;$ACS_NONTRANSPARENT = 16

from the example, it runs OK (compiled or not).

I took out the include file, put the include statement back in, left the 4 lines above commented out, added the path to the include statement and it runs OK. When you do the install, isn't the compiler supposed to know where the include files are?

I'm running Win2K, 256MB RAM, 18+ GB free HD space. There are no registry entries that reference the include folder. Should there be?

#include "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\GUIConstants.au3"

;$ACS_CENTER = 1
;$ACS_AUTOPLAY = 4
;$ACS_TIMER = 8 
;$ACS_NONTRANSPARENT = 16

GUICreate ("My GUI Animation",300,200)
$ani1 = GUICtrlCreateAvi (@SystemDir & "\shell32.dll",150, 50,10)

$buttonstart = GUICtrlCreateButton ("start",50,150,70,22)
$buttonstop  = GUICtrlCreateButton ("stop",150,150,70,22)

GuiSetState( )

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
      case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
        
      case $msg = $buttonstart
        GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 1)
        
      case $msg = $buttonstop
        GUICtrlSetState ($ani1, 0)
        
    EndSelect
