Variable into GUICtrlCreateEdit text field

[iverson_est]

Hey!

Can i make somehow the GUICtrlCreateEdit text field read a variable.

I want to make it read from an ini file or txt file.

Basically an idea would be smthing like that

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)

$chars = FileRead($file)

GUICtrlCreateEdit ( $chars, etc... )

But the text field reads the $ as a normal letter. I am quick learner, if you help me ;D The helpfile was quite chinese for me.

iverson_est,

You were pretty close, but you also need a GUI to display the edit control:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$sString = FileRead(@ScriptFullPath)

GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreateEdit($sString, 10, 10, 300, 300)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously - it is not that difficult, certainly easier than Chinese (unless you are Chinese of course!). You might also want look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here.

Thank you!

I am not a total noobie, tho I had the GUI and everything. My original script was like that:

GuiCreate("Sample GUI", 400, 400)
GuiSetIcon(@SystemDir & "\mspaint.exe", 0)
Local $vari= FileRead( "test.txt")
GuiCtrlCreateEdit("$vari", 10, 110, 150, 70)


GuiCtrlCreateDate("", 5, 280, 200, 20)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("(Date control expands into a calendar)", 10, 305, 200, 20)

GuiCtrlCreateButton("Sample Button", 10, 330, 100, 30)


GuiSetState()
While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

I had not included the <GUIConstantsEx.au3> and variable was in "". Got it solved for now, thank you >_<

I got a question kind of related to this... Is there anyway to 'GuiCtrlRead($EditLINE)'.... What I mean by that, read line by line in an Edit (Or even better, I would like to read line by line in a List, but seems as though you have to click on the item in there to get its value).... But yea, kinda like FileReadLine, but somehow read each line in the Edit? O.O

$iCount = ControlCommand($title, "", $myedit, "GetLineCount", "")
For $i = 0 to $iCount ;; This might have to be 1 To $iCount
    $sResult = ControlCommand($title, "", $myedit, "GetLine", $i)
    MsgBox(0, "Result", $sResult, 3)
Next

EDIT: Or

#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
$iCount = _GUICtrlEdit_GetLineCount($myedit)
For $i = 0 to $iCount ;; This might have to be 1 To $iCount
    $sResult = _GUICtrlEdit_GetLine($myedit, $i)
    MsgBox(0, "Result", $sResult, 3)
Next

EDIT 2: Corrected above code.

If you need it, getting the text for a list is just as simple.

#include<GUIListBox.au3>
$iCount = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($myedit)
For $i = 0 To $icount
   $sResult = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($myEdit, $i)
   MsgBox(0, "Result", $sResult, 3)
Next

Aha, did not see that functions, thank you very much >_<. I suppose theres no hiding function (from me xD) that reads lines of a List? :S

Well if you are talking about a list control as in GUICtrlCreateList(), that's what the 3rd block of code does. If you are talking about a list as in GUICtrlCreateListView() there is a ListView UDF in the help file too.

LOL... my bad, I overlooked your 3rd block of code, and thought it was the same thing (I thought it was odd that it looked exactly the same as the other one lol xD).

Thanks, sorry for my noobess >_<.
