[jfcby]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the label data witout creating a new label?

I've search the forum and Help files and cannot find any examples. If you would let me know what search words to type in to find examples on this forum or what to look for in the help file would greeatly appriciated.

I'm using GUICtrlCreateLabel("Paragraph 1", 10, 25, 75, 100, $SS_NOTIFY) and GUICtrlSetData($LB1,"TEST") but this is not working.

Full Example Code:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    Local $LB1, $btn1
    
    GUICreate("My GUI", 200, 200) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    
    $LB1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Paragraph 1", 10, 25, 75, 100, $SS_NOTIFY)
    $btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next", 10, 100, 50, 20)
    
    GUISetState()
    
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()      
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $msg = $btn1               
                MsgBox(0, "Wait", "Waiting...")             
                GUICtrlCreateLabel("Paragraph 1", 10, 25, 75, 100, $SS_NOTIFY)              
        EndSelect   
    WEnd
EndFunc  ;==>Example

This.....

$LB1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Paragraph 1", 10, 25, 75, 100, $SS_NOTIFY)

was too big and it covered the button area

and.......

Use GUICtrlSetData()

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    Local $LB1, $btn1
    
    GUICreate("My GUI", 200, 200) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    
    $LB1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Paragraph 1", 10, 25, 75, 20, $SS_NOTIFY)
    $btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next", 10, 100, 50, 20)
    
    GUISetState()
    
; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()        
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $msg = $btn1                 
                MsgBox(0, "Wait", "Waiting...")                
                GUICtrlSetData( $LB1, "Paragraph 2")                
        EndSelect    
    WEnd
EndFunc  ;==>Example
