muncherw Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 When I hover over a button in my Gui I want the tooltip to change based on a computername selected from a dropdown box. I've cut out a lot of the code just to give a basic idea as most of my code isn't relevant to the question so If I've left something out please let me know. I can get computer names and use them but I don't know how to change GUICtrlSetTip with this. Can someone give me a clue as to what I need to do? $computerName="" $Admin1Dropdown = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 30, 34, 220, 25) GUICtrlSetData(-1, $adm1p) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Arial") $Ping = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ping", 150, 75, 40, 40, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "\\Network\Technicians\Muncher\C$ Express\ping.ico", 1) GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Ping " & $computerName) GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Ping", 156, 115) While 1 $id = _getDropdown() $computerName = GUICtrlRead($id) ;Somewhere in here after I get the computer name I need to update GUICtrlSetTip Wend Other People's Stuff:Andy Flesner's AutoIt v3: Your Quick Guide[topic="34302"]Locodarwin's ExcelCom_UDF[/topic][topic="61090"]MrCreatorR's Opera Library[/topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRam Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Within the While 1 Loop, Update the button with the Button GUID rather than -1 Like so GUICtrlSetTip($Ping, "Ping " & $computerName) When I hover over a button in my Gui I want the tooltip to change based on a computername selected from a dropdown box.

It actually makes it so there is no tooltip at all.

DaRam Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) You need to wait for an event (use GUIGetMsg()) and trigger the change - right now it is probably mindlessly updating.Edit2: The change would probably be an event triggered by combo box selection/changeEdit: Or add a delay using Sleep()I tried that right after I get the computer name but it doesn't seem to work.

muncherw Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 You need to wait for an event (use GUIGetMsg()) and trigger the change - right now it is probably mindlessly updating.Ahhhh. OKay that did indeed work then. So this doesn't do exactly what I want then. I'm wanting the tooltip to change with whatever is currently in the dropdown otherwise my buttons only show the name after I use them. I'll go play with it some more now that you have pointed me in the correct direction. And I'll be back if I fail. Failing is a special skill of mine so I'll probably be back. Thanks for your help thus far!

Edit2: The change would probably be an event triggered by combo box selection/change Here is what I came up with: $id = _getDropdown() $oldComputerName = $computerName $computerName = GUICtrlRead($id) if $oldComputerName <> $ComputerName then GUICtrlSetTip($Ping, "Ping " & $computerName) endif I just couldn't figure out how to do it by checking an event. This is functional and I guess it doesn't hurt anything. Would another route be better?
