Trax Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 This is kind of a side question but it has always driven me a little crazy. A vast majority of times (as in the example below) I have windows that really only contain one value at any given time. I never want to scroll. I never want lists. if I put a value in that windows I want it to overwrite the value that is already there. After looking at all the options I have chosen a listbox. Is that really my best option? Anyway..... I have been trying to get things to display in color and am having fits. It might somehow relate to the above side question. I have been using Melba23's example here: and can't get anything to display in the windows. Here is my code: expandcollapse popup<#region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=SRT.ico #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Comment= #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description= #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=n #Au3Stripper_Parameters=/so #endregion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 1) ; 0=Relative to Active Window, 1=Absolute Screen 2=Relitive to Client Area AutoItSetOption("GUICloseOnESC", 1) ; Close on ESC #include-once Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GUIListBox.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <CommInterface.au3> #include <GuiListBox.au3> #include <Date.au3> #include <SQLite.au3> #include <SQLite.dll.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\users\jimbecher\desktop\idem v2.10\koda_1.7.2.0\forms\efdeck.kxf $EFDeck = GUICreate("EF Deck Display", 755, 248, 1001, 271) $EFDAvgTemp1 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 184, 24, 57, 19) $EFDAvgTemp2 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 184, 112, 57, 19) $EFDAvgTemp3 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 184, 200, 57, 19) $EFDLimit1 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 328, 24, 57, 19) $EFDLimit2 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 328, 112, 57, 19) $EFDLimit3 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 328, 200, 57, 19) $EFDExceeded1 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 528, 24, 17, 19) $EFDExceeded2 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 529, 112, 15, 19) $EFDExceeded3 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 528, 200, 17, 19) $EFDReadings1 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 672, 24, 57, 19) $EFDReadings2 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 672, 112, 57, 19) $EFDReadings3 = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($EFDeck,"", 672, 192, 57, 19) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit Exceeded:", 448, 24, 79, 17) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" 3 Hr Avg Temp:", 104, 24, 82, 17) $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Readings:", 616, 24, 52, 17) $Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Baghouse 1", 32, 24, 61, 17) $Label9 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("3 Hr Avg Temp:", 104, 112, 79, 17) $Label10 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit Exceeded:", 448, 112, 79, 17) $Label11 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Readings:", 616, 112, 52, 17) $Label13 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Baghouse 2", 32, 112, 61, 17) $Label17 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("3 Hr Avg Temp:", 104, 200, 79, 17) $Label18 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit Exceeded:", 440, 200, 79, 17) $Label19 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Readings:", 616, 192, 52, 17) $Label21 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Baghouse 3", 32, 200, 61, 17) $Label37 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit: ", 296, 24, 31, 17) $Label38 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit:", 296, 112, 28, 17) $Label39 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Limit", 296, 200, 25, 17) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### ColorWrite($EFDLimit1, 1 & @CRLF, -6, "", 0x000000) ColorWrite($EFDLimit2, 2 & @CRLF, -6, "", 0x000000) ColorWrite($EFDLimit3, 3 & @CRLF, -6, "", 0x000000) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GUIDelete() Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func ColorWrite($hWnd, $sText, $iIncrement = 0, $sAttrib = "", $iColor = -1) ; Count the @CRLFs StringReplace(_GUICtrlRichEdit_GetText($hWnd, True), @CRLF, "") Local $iLines = @extended ; Adjust the text char count to account for the @CRLFs Local $iEndPoint = _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetTextLength($hWnd, True, True) - $iLines ; Add new text _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hWnd, $sText & @CRLF) ; Select text between old and new end points _GuiCtrlRichEdit_SetSel($hWnd, $iEndPoint, -1) ; Convert colour from RGB to BGR $iColor = Hex($iColor, 6) $iColor = '0x' & StringMid($iColor, 5, 2) & StringMid($iColor, 3, 2) & StringMid($iColor, 1, 2) ; Set colour If $iColor <> -1 Then _GuiCtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor($hWnd, $iColor) ; Set size If $iIncrement <> 0 Then _GUICtrlRichEdit_ChangeFontSize($hWnd, $iIncrement) ; Set weight If $sAttrib <> "" Then _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharAttributes($hWnd, $sAttrib) ; Clear selection _GUICtrlRichEdit_Deselect($hWnd) EndFunc > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trax Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Thanks @NINE. I haven't found much in the way of color explanations. I assumed (incorrectly) that 0x000000 would be black on white. Where are the colors defined Still searching and learning. Would I be better off using listview or listviewex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 A good way to select a color is to use _ChooseColor (see help file example). “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
