Tooltip writes multiple lines

[furrycow]

Hey you guys, the situation goes like this...i have words (0-49), and i want them to display in a tooltip one underneath another like this....

0=worda

1=wordb

2=wordc

..etc..etc

Ive got the basic code ive done so far under this, however altho this goes through everyword and displays everyword, it does it all within a second and only the last terms shows as it keeps writing it on the same line...is there anyway i can do this without writing: $funcwordcount=$funcwordcount+1, $funcwordcount=$funcwordcount+2 etc etc, you get the gist. Thank you very much in advance!

Func wordlist()

$z=0

$funcwordcount=0

While $z<50

$funcwordlist=IniRead("search.ini","searchterms", $funcwordcount, "Error")

Tooltip("Current Wordlist:" & @CRLF & "" & $funcwordlist & "", 0, 0, "Wordlist")

$funcwordcount=$funcwordcount+1

$z=$z+1

WEnd

Sleep(3000)

EndFunc

Look at For Next loops in the AutoIt help.

For $I = 1 To 5

    MsgBox(0, "", $I)
    
Next

Thanks szhlopp, but the for loop is going to be doing the same thing as my $z=$z+1 surely? also its a tooltip rather than a message box, so has a habit of refreshing itself as soon as a new bit of data is put into it..have you any more ideas please?

Yep. Everytime the For/Next loop does a 'loop' it increases that first variable by(Default) 1.

also its a tooltip rather than a message box, so has a habit of refreshing itself as soon as a new bit of data is put into it

Example:

For $Z = 1 To 5
    
    ToolTip("Current Z value is: " & $Z)
    Sleep(1000)
    
Next

Make sense?

But wont this just show one line that refreshes every second??

I need it to list them all after one another like...

0=worda

1=wordb

2=wordc

..etc..etc

just in one tooltip window, i want all 50 words listed in one list that shows them all at the same time one after another?

Thanks

So the tooltip would look like this...

Sorry for the bad paint job

Maybe something like this

Func wordlist()
    $z = 0
    $funcwordcount = 0
    $txt = "Current Wordlist:" & @CRLF
    While $z < 50
        $funcwordlist = IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\search.ini", "searchterms", $funcwordcount, "Error")
        $txt &= $z & "=" & $funcwordlist & @CRLF
        $funcwordcount += 1
        $z += 1
    WEnd
    ToolTip($txt, 0, 0, "Wordlist")
    Sleep(3000)
EndFunc  ;==>wordlist

What a legend! That works perfectly, thank you ever so much!!
