Text in a window?

[JohnDool]

Hello,

I'm just starting with autoit. I have a question. How can I show a lot of text in a window, as information? By Creating a label you can't show much informatie. But that is what I want! How can I show the text in a window?

Can I make a text file, and displayed the text of the file in a window?

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks a lot.

John

You can do it with label, just resize it ...

$win=GuiCreate("GUI",500,500)
$lbl=GuiCtrlCreateLabel("",5,5,490,490)
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW,$win)

GuiCtrlSetData($lbl,"insert here your big text")

Or use edit :

#Include <EditConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("GUI",500,500)
$edit=GuiCtrlCreateEdit("",5,5,490,490,$ES_MULTILINE+$ES_AUTOVSCROLL+$ES_AUTOHSCROLL)
GuiSetState()

GuiCtrlSetData($edit,"put here your big text")

Cheers, FireFox.

Thanks for answer! I tried and I understand how it work. But I'm very unpleasant... Because my text add punctuation marks and calculations. How can I show that in a window or GUI? Is that possible? Or have I to program with HTML or PHP? Is it possible to show a textfile with al the punctuation marks and calculations in a GUI?

My second question: wich control can I make formulas?

Thanks for helping me.

Kind regards,

John

GuiCtrlSetData($edit,FileRead("yourfile.ext"))

For calc look at Number()
