GUITFLabel UDF

[Zip]

This is great, thanks a lot !

This is great, and I'm using it in a script that is making labels with array variables (so that I can clean it up easily), but since it returns an array, it acts weird.

I don't really know how to explain it, but I wrote this example code. I don't know what to do about it, short of just using a normal variable...

To me, it seems like it's create $Label[0] as a variable, and not a variable with an array...

#include-once

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "GUICtrlCreateTFLabel.au3"
#include <Array.au3>

Global $Label1[3]

$Form1 = GUICreate("asdf", 617, 441, 192, 124)
$Label1[0] = _GUICtrlCreateTFLabel("LABEL!", 56, 80)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Try to show a msgbox with $Label1[0][1] as the text... (click this)" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "I just figured that this should be the format ( $label1[0][1]) since $label1[0] has an array attached to it...", 56, 120)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xffffff)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

_ArrayDisplay($Label1, "$Label1 display")
_ArrayDisplay($Label1[0], "$Label1[0] display")

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $Label2
            MsgBox(0, '', $Label1[0][1])

    EndSwitch
WEnd

mistersquirrle,

In your script, you are declaring an array $Label1[3] and then placing the array returned from the UDF into the first element of that array when you use:

$Label1[0] = _GUICtrlCreateTFLabel("LABEL!", 56, 80)

This means that you now have an array within an array! AutoIt does not forbid this, but there is no way to read the internal array without extracting it or specifically addressing it - after all AutoIt cannot be expected to read your mind and know that you have an array as an element of another array.

So when you try to examine the content of the arrays here:

_ArrayDisplay($Label1, "$Label1 display")
_ArrayDisplay($Label1[0], "$Label1[0] display")

you get what appears to be an empty array $Label1. This is because AutoIt cannot display the internal array within the [0] element as part of the _ArrayDisplay dialog. But it is there, as you can see fron the second _ArrayDisplay dialog which correctly displays the contents of the internal array when directly it is addressed.

But what you cannot do is use:

MsgBox(0, '', $Label1[0][1])

to try and extract the elements of the internal array directly. The syntax you are using is for a 2D array - not an array within an array. As I explained above you need to extract the internal array like this:

$aTemp = $Label1[0]
MsgBox(0, '', $aTemp[1])

which will then correctly display the ControlID of the UDF created label.

Does that explain what you are seeing? Please ask again if not.

Yes, Melba, that's great

I didn't really think of that. I knew that it was something like that but I didn't know how to say it or what I should've done.

Thanks for the help, almost every time I've had a problem on these forums, you've been there to help keep up the good work

Update!

History version:

v1.4

* Fixed issue when bkcolor parameter was recognized as color. It was causing bugs with correct label color displaying.

* Improved width and height corrections for the output label(s).

+ Added String Compare Example.

Check the first post.

Hi.

Is there a way to evaluate a click on the label.

In GUITFLabel UDF you can check the click by GUIGetMsg.

The other UDF has the disadvantage, that the text is not displayed transparent on a background-image.

In this UDF the Labele looks great, the background is transparent.

Btw, Good work, I like both UDF's

Sorry for the eventual bad englisch, it was Powered by Google

Hi,

The GUIRichLabel UDF does have transparent background, and yes, clicks and mouse event (such as showing different cursors) not supported there yet, but i working on this issue.

Thanks for the feedbacks.

Ups, sorry. I have posted in the wrong thread >_<

There should be post:

That's what you get, when too many tabs are open.

How does this work when you attempt to do: Guictrlsetdata($existinglabel, _guictrltflabel_create('<font color="Red">Lovely Text</font>', 0, 0) & "more normal text")

sorry if the syntax is incorrect, but the coloured text will appear at the top of the GUI with the 0,0 markers, not on the $existinglabel.

Does this also work with single item text in a listview control?

Thanks,

1st, This is great, thanks a lot !

But, in one line text with multi-colored and multi-size font, how to align the text with "BitOr($SS_CENTER,$SS_CENTERIMAGE)" to center it in GUI. I have tried many times but still doesn't work.
