Displaying updated variables in the GUI

[faldo]

Is there a way to retrace the GUI with new information from updated variables?

For example, i need to read a value in an ini file and display it in realytime:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\myfile.ini", "section2", "key", "NotFound")

GUICreate("My GUI", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ($var, 20,50)
GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Once i change the value in the ini file i want my GUI to pick it up and display it. Is this possible?

Hi,

you have to read it again and then GuiCtrlSetData() on the label.

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$var = IniRead("C:\Temp\mega.ini", "Mega", "1", "NotFound")

GUICreate("My GUI", 150, 100, 5, 5)
$read_B = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read again", 10, 10, 100, 30)
$var_L = GUICtrlCreateLabel ($var, 10, 50, 100, 20, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUISetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
            ExitLoop
        case $msg = $read_B
            GUICtrlSetData($var_L, IniRead("C:\Temp\mega.ini", "Mega", "1", "NotFound"))
    EndSelect
Wend

So long,

Mega
