Okay, I'm making a GUI that displays the status of what it's doing.
I'm going for something like a command prompt look, so I have the colors done, but now I'm having problems getting a scroll bar onto it, so you can scroll up and view earlier status messages.
Here is my code so far:
Code:

Gui, Font, S8 CWhite, Lucida Console
Gui, Add, Text, VScroll x32 y12 w420 h380 , Text`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`nText`n
Gui, Color, 000000
Gui, Show, x408 y156 h408 w479, New GUI Window
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp


See what I am trying to do? But the scroll seems to not want to do its job lol.
I am hoping what I am trying to do is possible.

Also, I am wondering, when I change the status, I'm just adding more, so would I want to use:
Code:

Gui, Add, Text, (coordanates), Text No.1`nText No.3
SLEEP 500
Gui, Add, Text, (Same coords), Text No.1`nText No.3`nText No.4

??
Because I don't want to keep adding texts until it starts to get slow and unstable. Is there a way to delete one, and then add another.. or maybe just add onto the already existent one?

Thank you all, you guys are great.

would openin it in a "ListBox" be better than a text?

No, see I need the option of changing colors. Listbox doesn't change colors. (Text/Background)
Thanks for the reply though.

@ SpiderGames
think about to shrink/rescale your signatures "spider-image" because it blows up the thread unnecessarily. Thanks for listening. Cool

I am having the same issue, vScroll displays a scroll bar, but it won't actually scroll my text gui. It's like the scroll bar is locked into the default position.

My gui setup code is nearly identical to SpiderGams'

I'm using the latest build of AHK too, version 1.0.47.06
