And the picture is defiantly required as those are just generic names with no meaning as to watch control type they are.

I think, the Function GUICtrlRead can help me a lot but not so sure about it..

[guinness]

You said create not read. Explain what you want to do please.

Sorry, I mean the Example in that page can help me for my whole project, not just the function..

But okay lets focus on a message log (3) first..

Please see this attachment:

• The message log may tell if the login attempt fails.
• Or may tell if the login attempt succeed.
• And may tell if you are successfully connected with Facebook.
• And many other more about its user log..

Do I need a Function GUICtrlCreateEdit for that or the other function which I do not know yet?

Servant,

Personally I would use a List control for something like this, but an Edit control could also serve. Look at GUICtrlCreateList for more details on List controls.

When I try to use a GUICtrlCreateList, it can add a data below the list but you need to scroll down to see the new data.

What I want is when I add a new message, the scroll will automatically be placed in the lower area of the list if it's in the lower area..

And also, are there exact functions that can show the whole message log in TXT File format as a GUI list?

• But when the log in TXT File format have added a new message, the GUI list will going to add that new message also, but the scroll is in the lower area if it's in the lower area..
• When a user scroll it a little bit of higher, it will not scroll down even the list have added a new message.
• It will automatically scroll down only if the scroll is in the lower area..

Is there any solution for this?

Servant,

 

Is there any solution for this?

Yes. Did you try searching the forum (the search box is at top right)? This has been answered many times - and often by me).

An example of one way to do it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListBox.au3>

Local $iCount = 0

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 400, 100, BitOR($WS_VSCROLL, $WS_BORDER))

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add", 10, 200, 80, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            $iCount += 1
            ; Get current top index
            $iIndex = _GUICtrlListBox_GetTopIndex($cList)
            ; Add a line
            GUICtrlSetData($cList, "Line " & $iCount)
            ; Set new top index
            _GUICtrlListBox_SetTopIndex($cList, $iIndex + 1)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

all clear?

Not bad..

Can you convert that code from using GUICtrlCreateList() to UICtrlCreateEdit() ?

So, I could try to compare them which is much better..

And it is possible to make a UICtrlCreateEdit() non-editable?

What is UICtrlCreateEdit?

Sorry for the typo, I mean "GUICtrlCreateEdit"..

[Melba23]

Servant,

In this case things are rather easier as Windows does a lot of the work for you:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Local $iCount = 0

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 400, 100, BitOR($WS_VSCROLL, $WS_BORDER, $ES_READONLY))

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add", 10, 200, 80, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            $iCount += 1
            ; Add a line
            _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($cEdit, "Line " & $iCount & @CRLF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
