Precisely navigating through a huge number range

[Nafrayu]

I kinda need a GUI element that allows the user to precisely choose a number between 500 and 1500, sliders would need to be really huge to be able to do this

Does anyone have an idea, or a solution even?

I don't need decimal precision, selecting between 999 and 1000 should be as easy as going from 500 to 1000 though.

Something like this would be amazing:

Use 4 radiobuttons + ListBox

RadioButtons will be used for quick switching/filtering of ListBox's range: 500-750 / 750-1000 / 1000 - 1250 / 1250-1500

Or such similar princip of several GUI controls combined together ...

 

Or use 4 Edit boxes (with UpDown) each for 1 cipher of your number:

1500 = 1 + 5 + 0 + 0

    Local $idComboBox[4]
    ; Create a GUI with various controls.

EndFunc   ;==>Example

I was going to suggest something similar, Unless you make a custom control like the one you linked to there is not much as far as windows controls that will do that

Nafrayu,

Yet another suggestion:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <UpDownConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>

Global $fLimit = True

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

$cHundreds = GUICtrlCreateInput("5", 10, 10, 60, 30, $ES_RIGHT)
GUICtrlSetFont($cHundreds, 18)
$cUD_Hundreds = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($cHundreds, BitOr($UDS_WRAP, $UDS_ALIGNRIGHT))
GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Hundreds, 15, 5)

$cTens = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 70, 10, 40, 30, $ES_RIGHT)
GUICtrlSetFont($cTens, 18)
$cUD_Tens = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($cTens, $UDS_WRAP + $UDS_ALIGNRIGHT)
GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Tens, 9, 0)

$cUnits = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 110, 10, 40, 30, $ES_RIGHT)
GUICtrlSetFont($cUnits, 18)
$cUD_Units = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($cUnits, $UDS_WRAP + $UDS_ALIGNRIGHT)
GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Units, 9, 0)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    ; Allow only 1500 and not higher
    If GUICtrlRead($cHundreds) = 15 Then
        If $fLimit = True Then
            GUICtrlSetData($cTens, "0")
            GUICtrlSetData($cUnits, "0")
            GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Tens, 0, 0)
            GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Units, 0, 0)
            $fLimit = Not $fLimit
        EndIf
    Else
        If Not $fLimit Then
            GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Tens, 9, 0)
            GUICtrlSetLimit($cUD_Units, 9, 0)
            $fLimit = $fLimit
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Lots of ways to skin this particular cat....

Or just use one Edit control and let users to type desired number :-)
