I must say that I didn't try and that I don't know if this feature already exist or not (I know , it's bad...) but I want to know if there is, in the GUI management, the opposite of "gui, submit, nohide" (and if there isn't, I'd like to see it, of course).

In fact, "gui, submit, nohide" allow the AHK programmer to get the content of the variables of the GUI without cancel or destroy it.

So is there an internal command wich permits to change, without destroying and showing again the GUI, to change the content of a DropDownList, a ComboBox or a ListBox ?

We can consider for example that the content of the DropDownList, ComboBox or ListBox is in a variable, and that it is, for example, "1||2|3". After the selection of a specific radio button, checkbox or button, I want the content of my variable to become "one||two|three". Is there a possibility to change the content of the DropDownList, ComboBox or ListBox "dynamically" (without hiding then showing the GUI) ?

Of course, I know that I can achieve this effect with the "Control" command, but perhaps is it possible to have a simpler way to do it.

Yes, there will be a simpler way to do it. The planned command would work like this:

GuiControl, Text, MyListBox, One||Two|Three

Where "MyListBox" is the control's associated variable (used to uniquely identify it in this case).

Thanks Chris,

It's really good news.

Could there be a way to have a command that would cause the GUI to flash on the start bar? I think this might have been asked before, sorry if it has.

thanks,

Since it was easy to add a primitive version, I did so. In the future there will probably be more options to make it easier to use, though those options might not function on 95/NT because they do not support the more advanced flashing API function.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Is it already possible to have ListBoxes that allow you to select multiple options by holding down the ctrl key? If not could that be added?

thanks,

[Chris]

Yes, this should be in the next release (hopefully Tuesday). Thanks.

i couldn't get most styles to work on pic controls... just a couple of them worked fine.

and by the way controlgettext doesn't work on listbox... can something be done?

also can there be a way to set control style (eg. flat button) in the GUI's properties itself instead of each of its controls?

and finally, please link styles page in the index.

thanx.

some more stuff to bother u

-maybe i did something wrong but now multi-line edit didn't word-wrap itself and reqd 'multi' with .21
-the button last clicked on gui has two spl borders...one black outside and another dotted inside... if possible then plz remove the dotted one... it also causes the text to wrap on small buttons
-the default button (the one that responds to enter) doesn't do so once some other button is mouse-clicked... it should always respond to enter, no matter which control is active (except for edit controls). for active buttons we always have 'space' key.
-also can't 'see' the default button getting pressed on pressing enter.
-pic styles that didn't work...0x04, 12, 08, 10, 11, 06
-End / Del hotkeys don't work on win9x (give msg)
-how about an option added to default loop that does reverse counting?

Dam correct me if I'm wrong but is the GUI the biggest change AHK has seen? It's cool.

Is this a different type of ListBox? Or is this some other type of control? Could this be implimented?
