I'm blind: Failing to use GUI creation, cell relative, starting at some point

[rudi]

Hello,

I don't see my mistake. Who's going to open my blind eyes?

I just almost got mad, because I rememered, that it *DID* work a couple of weeks ago.

 

So I went back to the PC, where I remembered, that I wrote the original approach: There it is working as expected.

using the shared clipboard to my main PC, the same lines did *NOT* work.

The difference seems to be the autoit version: Left the "other" PC working, right "my main" PC, not working:

 

  

 

so it's definitely some difference between these two Versions v3.3.14.5 <-> v3.3.16.1

If I understand correctly,  3 controls don't show in your GUI ( $cDateZwei , $lLabel , $iSearch )
They should appear if you change this line...

$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, "", "", $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)

...with

$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, Default, Default, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)

I think -1 (instead of Default) should also work, i.e

$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, -1, -1, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)

Good luck

  In fact the difference happened exactly between these 2 beta versions (just tested) :

AutoIt 3.3.15.3 (16th May, 2020) (Beta)

3 syntax work and create correctly the controls discussed in the preceding post :

$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, "", "", $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)
$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, Default, Default, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)
$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, -1, -1, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)

AutoIt 3.3.15.4 (12th June, 2021) (Beta)

Only 2 syntax work

$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, Default, Default, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)
$cDateZwei = GUICtrlCreateDate(_NowCalcDate(), -1, $CtrlGap, -1, -1, $DTS_SHORTDATEFORMAT)

I don't see anything related to this in the "History / ChangeLog" of the actual help file (including betas), maybe I missed it.

The only fix related to this "width = 0 and height = 0" (as found in your initial script) applies to GuiCtrlCreatePic() which was solved precisely... in 3.3.15.4 . Is it possible that it had a side effect on all other controls ? Only Jon knows :

Fixed #3682: GuiCtrlCreatePic() with h=0 and w=0.

Thanks for pointing out fix number #3682, good catch!
