Group Caption

[goodmanjl531]

Is it possible to change the caption of a group at a later point in your code?

Below is my GUI setup

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Ping Utility", 395, 412, 299, 204)
$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 64, 8, 97, 21, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_NUMBER))
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 4)
$Input_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("64", 248, 9, 81, 21, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_NUMBER))
$Group_Main = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Main Router", 8, 40, 377, 185)
$Group_POS = GUICtrlCreateGroup("POS", 16, 56, 217, 161)
$Checkbox_Reg1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Register 1", 24, 80, 81, 41)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
$Checkbox_Reg2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Register 2", 120, 80, 81, 41)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
$Checkbox_Reg3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Register 3", 24, 128, 81, 41)
$Checkbox_Reg4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Register 4", 120, 128, 81, 41)
$Checkbox_RmtPRT = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Remote Printer", 64, 179, 105, 25)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$Checkbox_RTR = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Router", 256, 64, 97, 41)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
$Checkbox_Shoppertrak = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Shopper Trak", 256, 151, 89, 41)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("PING", 8, 360, 161, 41, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
$BTN_Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 224, 360, 161, 41)
$Group_Uplink = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Uplink Router/Switch", 8, 232, 377, 113)
$Checkbox_Rtr2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Uplink Router\Switch", 16, 256, 129, 33)
$Checkbox_CCTV = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CCTV", 152, 256, 57, 33)
$Checkbox_DMX = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("DMX", 224, 256, 45, 33)
$Checkbox_Style = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Style Wall", 288, 256, 89, 33)
$Checkbox_BRT1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("BrightSign-1", 16, 304, 80, 33)
$Checkbox_BRT2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("BrightSign-2", 104, 304, 80, 33)
$Checkbox_BRT3 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("BrightSign-3", 200, 304, 80, 33)
$Checkbox_BRT4 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("BrightSign-4", 296, 304, 80, 33)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Store:", 8, 8, 45, 17)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Packet Size:", 176, 7, 61, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

I want to after this is completed and the user hits buton 1 to cahnge the caption on $Group_Main

GUICtrlSetData($Group_Main, Caption = "Main Router  " & $Ping_Rtr)

This is working for me. My question would be how are you setting $Ping_Rtr, I don't see it anywhere in your code.

While 1
    Local $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $Button1
                GUICtrlSetData($Group_Main, "Text Changed")
        EndSelect
WEnd

Edit: Dang page didn't refresh. Too slow
