Guiupdate

[Edifice]

Sorry to shower you guys with questions, but I just hit so many dead ends during the last couple of learning auto-it-days and your answers are just great!

#Include <Date.au3>
#Include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Dim $progress = 0

; GUI
GuiCreate("Windows Update Cleanup", 500, 100)

; PROGRESS
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Progress...",65, 40, 400, 20, 1)
GuiCtrlCreateProgress(65, 10, 400, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData(-1, $progress)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

After drawing this lovely little GUI-Window i used GuiCtrlSetData(-1, $progress) to update the progressbar, and it works flawlessly, but I know it's not the right way to go, as you would then only be able to update one GUI-item in the entire window (this being the last one created).

My question is then, how do I update several GUI-thingy's?

I'm lost as to what you want to do that it's not doing?

Use the returned control ID and then use it...

[SpookMeister]

Assign variables to hold the Control ID's of the GUI items you are creating, then you can later reference them

#Include <Date.au3>
#Include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Dim $progress = 0

; GUI
GuiCreate("Windows Update Cleanup", 500, 100)

; PROGRESS
$label=GUICtrlCreateLabel("Progress...",65, 40, 400, 20, 1)
$prog=GuiCtrlCreateProgress(65, 10, 400, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData($prog, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

A bit lower down I used

While $progress < 10
    ; Increase the count by one
        $progress = $progress + 1 
        GuiCtrlSetData(-1, $progress)
        Sleep(50)
    Wend

To update the progressbar, but the funny thing is that if I draw the label after the progressbar, the $progress goes into the label instead.

And Again, Thank you Spookmeister

Edifice,

Using -1 in GUICtrlSetData (or any other similar function) is shorthand for the last control created.

If you want to reference any other controls then you need to assign a variable to hold the Control ID when it is created:

$hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel(......)

and then use that variable to reference the control later on:

GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, ....)

You can now address as many controls as Autoit can manage (65532 to save you the trouble of looking it up!)

Now just a bonus question.

How do I set my window as "Always on top"?

[Authenticity]

Use GuiCreate('Text', 200, 185, 10, 100, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

$WS_EX_TOPMOST is defined in WindowsConstants.au3

Now just a bonus question.

How do I set my window as "Always on top"?

I usually do ..

$hWnd = GuiCreate("Windows Update Cleanup", 500, 100)
WinSetOnTop($hWnd,"",1)
