Add Up Decimal Points and Increment

[mrflibblehat]

So i have a value of 0.000001 and I want it to increment by 0.000001 every second.

Everytime I try this I just get a rounded number of 1 and not 0.000002, 0.000003, 0.000004 as expected.

Please can anyone help

I must add this this needs to be shown in a label on the gui

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 386, 95, 192, 124)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label1", 64, 24, 228, 33)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$vDec = 0.000001
$vDec2 = 0.000002

$vAdd = $vDec + $vDec2

GUICtrlSetData($Label1, $vAdd)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Im sure its something to do with strings/dec/int but I cant work it out.

Can you please be so kind and post the code you use? Or at least a small reproducer script?

[water]

Because 0.000001 is 1*10^-6 you will get results like "1e-006" by AutoIt.

Example:

For $i = 0.000001 To 0.0001 Step 0.000001
    ConsoleWrite($i & @LF)
Next

returns:

Thanks Water,

Does that mean that there is no way to get to what I want to achieve? 

[water]

Function StringFormat comes to my mind. But I haven't tried it yet ...

[water]

You need something like this:

For $i = 0.000001 To 0.0001 Step 0.000001
    ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("%1.6f", $i) & @LF)
Next

Thank you both for your very details answers, but Mikells helped me out perfectly
