No carriage return in label

[Wicked_Caty]

My program generates a huge lot of numbers that has to be displayed in a label. Usually there are around 100 thousand and 1 million numbers, so I obviously have certain problems with space. I get the data into the label, but it's all in one line and simply exceeds the label (by a couple of million pixels, but never mind that)... Of course it won't fit into a 200x200 big label either, but it'd look a lot nicer. I don't even need to scroll in it.

The only thing in need is an automatic @CRLF at the border of the label.

Something like the style $ES_MULTILINE for the input box.

Here's the most important stuff from the GUI.

Local $gui = GUICreate("Crypt", 630, 440)
    Local $in = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 300, 300, $ES_MULTILINE) ; need something like $ES_MULTILINE just one line later in this code
    Local $out = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 320, 10, 300, 300) ; instead of "", please imagine a random number between 1e5 and 1e6 here please
    ; a lot of buttons that don't matter right now

    GUISetBkColor(0x111111, $gui)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor($in, 0xEEEEEE)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor($out, 0xEEEEEE)
    ; again a lot of button configuartion that's completely unnecessary right now

    GUICtrlSetColor($in, 0x111111)
    GUICtrlSetColor($out, 0x111111)
    ; same as before

    GUISetFont(13, 200, 0, "Candara", $gui)
    GUICtrlSetFont($in, 13, 200, 0, "Candara")
    GUICtrlSetFont($out, 13, 200, 0, "Candara")
    ; still configuation for the buttons

    Local $data0 = ""
    ; some unimportant variables

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
    
    ; switch from GUIGetMsg() in an infinite while-loop

Thanks!

Try this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Line 1 "&@CRLF&"Line 2", 10, 30, 100,59)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

        EndSwitch
    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>Example

It would be nice, if I could just squeeze it in manually. Sadly, it doesn't work. I get those numbers in a huge single string, and it has to be exactly that way for further processing. There's nothing I could change about that.

The program has to detect itself when the numbers would exceed the limits of the label. Then it has to put them into the next line without adding an actual carriage return. Similar to what is done in the input box in my example.

Then try this:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
; *** End added by AutoIt3Wrapper ***
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

    GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    GUICtrlCreateEdit("Line 1 "&@CRLF&"Line 2", 10, 30, 100,59,BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $ES_ReadOnly))
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;

    ; Loop until the user exits.

Something like this? I would have finished this sooner but I found it to be an interesting concept and wanted to make it more functional, allowing you to scroll through all the lines. A snippit I will store in my saved functions folder
