What am I doing wrong?

[Tagor]

I created a GUI with the given code. Also I added some tabs to the GUI with some text on all tabs. However when I release GuiSetState() on the top, it doesn't show the text. I first need to navigate to another tab before it shows anything.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? If I don't use GuiSetState(), I don't see the GUI.

we would be able to help if you supplied some code

Here is the important part of the code:

GuiCreate ($title, 396, 396)

GuiSetIcon ("ico.ico", 0)

GuiSetState ()

GuiCtrlCreateTab (5, 5, 385, 385, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $status & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $information & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)

$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("click me to run", 300, 300, 10, 10)

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg= $Label_1

MsgBox (0, "test", "test")

Case Else

;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

While GuiGetMsg () <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

WEnd

i dont understand your problem, but try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$title = "hey"
GuiCreate ($title, 396, 396)
GuiSetIcon ("ico.ico", 0)
GuiSetState ()

GuiCtrlCreateTab (5, 5, 385, 385, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & "tab1" & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & "tab2" & " ")
GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)
$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("click me to run", 20, 50, 100, 20)

While 1
$msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $msg= $Label_1
MsgBox (0, "test", "test")
EndSelect
WEnd

The problem is that it only shows the first tab of "GuiCtrlCreateTabItem".

[layer]

im still unclear of what the problem is, when i ran the above script i provided everything worked fine, when i was on "tab1", nothing was in it, which is supposed to happen unless you tell it to put labels etc in it, then when i hit "tab2", i saw the Group control and the label in it, now if you could be a little mor specific, then i could help..

Sorry, I forgot an item:

GuiCreate ($title, 396, 396)

GuiSetIcon ("ico.ico", 0)

GuiSetState ()

GuiCtrlCreateTab (5, 5, 385, 385, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $status & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $information & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)

$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("click me to run", 300, 300, 10, 10)

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg= $Label_1

MsgBox (0, "test", "test")

Case Else

;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

While GuiGetMsg () <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

WEnd

The bold code doesn't show up.

Hello,

I have moved the GUISETSTATE just before the while to draw all components of the window :

GuiCreate ($title, 396, 396)
GuiSetIcon ("ico.ico", 0)

GuiCtrlCreateTab (5, 5, 385, 385, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)
GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $status & " ")
GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem (" " & $information & " ")

GuiCtrlCreateGroup ("Test text", 8, 32, 376, 84)
$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("click me to run", 300, 300, 10, 10)
GuiSetState ();<----------------- here
While 1
$msg = GuiGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $msg= $Label_1
MsgBox (0, "test", "test")
Case Else
;;;
EndSelect
WEnd

While GuiGetMsg () <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

So the group is drawn at th begining

Thanks, that works. However you will need to press the "X" two times to close the program. Do you also know how to solve that?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

just remove the last 2 lines....

While GuiGetMsg () <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

[sylvanie]

Yes, You're right. I hvan't notice that.

Supress the 2 last lines :

While GuiGetMsg () <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

WEnd

Because when your press the cross one time, you're leaving from the 1st loop; then the 2nd loop call GuigetMsg() a second Time. So you need to press the cross another time.

Sorry JDeb,

I was writing my post, when you've posted yours ;-)

[Tagor]

Ah, thanks, I see!
