I'm trying to display a Unicode character on a label but get an rectangle instead is it possible to successfully display all Unicode characters on GUI on labels buttons etc? the one i'm trying to display is ChrW(11034) which is ⬚ $square = GUICtrlCreateLabel(ChrW(11034),10,20, 10, 15)

Can someone confirm that GuiCtrlCreateLabel does not calculate the correct height, when the height parameter is omitted (allowing the function to calculate the required height) and the width of the text string causes word wrapping. I find the description of the height parameter a bit unclear, but believe it should calculate the correct height if the height parameter is omitted, is –1, or is Default. It does so when a multi-line string (one containing @LF to avoid word wrapping), is used, but not if word wrapping occurs. Here’s a simple GUI demonstrating this issue: #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate("Automatic Height issue with GUI Labels", 500, 380, -1, -1) $iY = 10 $sText = "When the height parameter for a GUI Label is not specified, or set to -1, or Default, the height " & @LF & _ "of the label is incorrect when word wrapping occurs. The height does not take into account " & @LF & _ "the number of lines added by the word wrapping! Below are examples demonstrating this" & @LF & _ "issue, what the label should look like ( @LF is used to avoid word wrapping )." & @LF & _ @LF & _ "The doc for GUICtrlCreateLabel says what follows for the height parameter:" GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 10, $iY, 450, Default) $iY += 80 GUICtrlCreateLabel(" height, [optional] The height of the control (default text autofit in height)", 10, $iY, 450, Default) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, -1, 600) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000ff) $iY += 60 GUICtrlCreateLabel("Word Wrap Example (label height is incorrect)", 10, $iY, 450, Default, $SS_Center) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 600) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) $iY += 20 ;; Word Wrap example: $sText = "This is an example showing that when the height parameter of a GuiCtlrCreateLabel " & _ "is set to -1, or left as optional, the height of the control does not take word " & _ "wrap into consideration, producing an incorrect height for the string." GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 10, $iY, 450, Default) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xffff00) $iY += 40 GUICtrlCreateLabel("What the above should show (@LF used)", 10, $iY, 450, Default, $SS_Center) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 600) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000ff) $iY += 20 $sText = "This is an example showing that when the height parameter of a GuiCtlrCreateLabel is set to -1," & @LF & _ "or left as optional, the height of the control does not take word wrap into consideration," & @LF & _ "producing an incorrect height for the string." GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 10, $iY, 450, Default) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xffff00) $iY += 90 $sText = "While the height produced when @LF is used to avoid word wrapping does not cut off text, " & @LF & _ "the height is a little too large by about 1/2 line height." GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 10, $iY, 450, Default) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit

Hello, Several places in my Tabbed GUI input is overwritten again and again. the problem is that I can't get the old text to go away. So it overlaps until it is a mixed up line of unreadable black. In the sample below if you go to TAB4, Enter some text in the input box, click OK. Thinks look normal. Go to the input box agaion and change or add more text and click on OK. Not so Good.

NO code, but a question...what is your method for adding a control in an already created GUI. Say you created your GUI, and then decided that there was something missing, and you wanted to put it in the middle or where ever...you have to move all the controls after it and it is a pain. Does anyone have an easy method, or the method you choose to begin with so you do not have to worry about this coming up in the future?
