guictrldelete

I know this has probably been answered already, but how come when I want to delete a control and then recreate it later it doesn't recreate. Could the reason be that i'm using the same variable name again or is there some redraw thing i'm missing in my code?

You could just hide the control and have it reshow when you need it. It would help if you posted your code.

I thought about that one too Volly, but I really don't know the answer to the question...

Hiding the control is the right way to go. I think the proble stems from the GUI not refreshing and I'm not sure if another GUISetState(@SW_Show) will resolve that or not.

I think I have a difinitive answer. There is anoher problem in the OPs code. Test this.

;
$Frm_Main = GUICreate("Test Form")
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 100, 20)
$Btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Proceed", 10,40, 60,30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $Btn
            GUICtrlDelete($Input)
            $Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input", 10, 10, 100, 20)
        Case -3
            Exit
    EndSwitch
Wend
;

It works and I am resonably confident that it replicates wht the OP was attempting to do.

...joke, joke:

This guy sits on the rock. The oher one comes by and says: "... so you are sitting and thinking. That's nice!!". 
- "No.. no, I'm just sitting"

I had this (modification of help file example):

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $Button_1, $Button_2, $Button_3, $msg
    Local $iX = 1
    GUICreate("My GUI Button"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Do thing wih ->", 10, 30, 100)
    $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test", 130, 30, 100)
    $Button_3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test 2", 10, 70, 100)

    GUISetState(); will display an  dialog box with 2 button

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $Button_1
                If $iX Then
                    GUICtrlDelete($Button_2)
                    $iX = 0
                Else
                    $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test", 130, 30, 100)
                    $iX = 1
                EndIf
            Case $msg = $Button_2
                MsgBox(0, 'Testing', 'Button Test was pressed'); Will demonstrate Button 2 being pressed
            Case $msg = $Button_3
                MsgBox(0, 'Testing', 'Button Test 2 was pressed')
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc ;==>Example
