Beege Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Version 1.6 Lately I have been working on my and the demo GUI for it has a lot labels that get updated frequently and really ends up looking like shit when all your labels are flickering. I put this UDF together trying to go by the same format as native GUICtrlCreateLabel(), this way I can go back to previous guis and swap with new Flicker Free Labels. As always feedback is welcome and let me know if you have and problems. Thanks for looking. Update 6-27 So recently I learned that the stringformat of the GDI+ labels we are creating do not have equal character spaceing and also are not excepting tab keys. This was a nightmare for me and is still being one. I found a good artical here that helped a little but not completely. At the bottom of the page it talks about displaying adjacent text and recomends using GenericTypographic stringformat. I tried it and It is allowing tab keys, but now the align stopped working. And for the life of me I could never figure out how to set all characters to have equal widths, and also a blank space " " measure out to the same width as a char. So if someone knows how plz let me know. For the time being I have the udf using the method that allows tabs(mainly cause of this example I want to show), but I left the orginal stringformat call commented out so if you need your labels aligned center, left, right just uncomment it and comment out the GenericTypographic call. Its located in _GuiCtrlFFLabel_Create(). Some other Benefits Now I want to go over a couple benifits that the non flickering labels could extend to you that didnt nessasarly jump right out at u at first. To start with lets go over static labels. Majority of the time that you have some data you want to display you will want a it to have a title. The longer your string is the more obvios the flicker becomes so breaking that label up into two lables Title: Data, can reduce flicker significatly. Now I cant sit hear and say that they are getting broke up soley because of flicker cause thats just not always true, but I can definatly say that they are not being left together because of flicker. Having no flicker we can leave the title and data as one if we want. And we dont have to stop there because string length dosnt matter now. We can just as easily put 3 or 4 labels into one if we want reducing are code even more. take a look at the size difference in the examples. Easier GUI layout was also a benifit (at least for me) that I didnt think of till recenty. I know plenty of people like to layout there GUI manually. Theres also people that would like to but just arnt good at it. Im one of them. I always end wasting to much time starting, adjusting, starting etc.. I love koda, but it can also gobble up my time. The example shows another option. By making all the labels the full width of the GUI, I can then use tabs and StringFormat() to aliagn all my labels. The only coordinates I have to work with is y, the vertical distance between the labels making it no big deal.

Beege Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Alright added new BG color check function. I had to change it a little bit cause it would not work for me when trying to create the gui off screen or when the states on enabled. Nobody will ever really notice. Func _GetWindowBkColor() Local $hBkGUI = GUICreate("", 5, 5, 1, 1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) GUISetState() WinWaitActive($hBkGUI) Local $nColor = PixelGetColor(3, 3, $hBkGUI) GUIDelete($hBkGUI) Return "0xFF" & Hex($nColor, 6) EndFunc Edited June 22, 2011 by Beege Assembly Code: fasmg . fasm .

GUIFFLabel.zip I like your naming convention better and will change it to that but the bg function doesnt work. must be something with win 7 vs xp.. The one I posted above is only 5x5 with no boarders. No one will ever notice. Edited June 22, 2011 by Beege Assembly Code: fasmg . fasm . BmpSearch . Au3 Syntax Highlighter .

MrCreatoR Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 And how about this: Func __GUICtrlFFLabel_GetWindowBkColor() Local $iOpt, $hBkGUI, $nColor $iOpt = Opt("WinWaitDelay", 0) $hBkGUI = GUICreate("", 40, 40) WinWait($hBkGUI) $nColor = "0xFF" & Hex(PixelGetColor(30, 30, $hBkGUI), 6) ConsoleWrite($nColor & @CRLF) GUIDelete($hBkGUI) Opt("WinWaitDelay", $iOpt) Return $nColor EndFunc ?

Beege Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Nope same thing. I dont think pixelgetcolor is getting the pixel 30x30 from the gui client area.. Assembly Code: fasmg . fasm .

Ok, checked on my laptop with Win7, this should work: Func __GUICtrlFFLabel_GetWindowBkColor() Local $iOpt, $hBkGUI, $nColor $iOpt = Opt("PixelCoordMode", 1) $hBkGUI = GUICreate("", 100, 100, -100, -100) $nColor = "0xFF" & Hex(PixelGetColor(50, 50, $hBkGUI), 6) Opt("PixelCoordMode", $iOpt) GUIDelete($hBkGUI) Return $nColor EndFunc Edited June 22, 2011 by MrCreatoR Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...
