Hi,

i tried to create a gui and i have the problem that somtimes the pTextLabel1 text is displayed and sometimes it is not...i belive this is a bug in wb. Can anyone confirm this?

[codebox][Interface] pTextFile1=Eula.txt,1,6,10,40,300,235 pCheckBox1="Accept License",1,3,315,42,101,18,True pCheckBox2="Run from ram (boot.wim)",1,3,315,109,159,18,True pCheckBox3="Run bgInfo at startup (via Autorun.cmd)",1,3,315,73,229,18,True pFileBox1="%ScriptDir%\BGInfo",1,13,315,172,200,50,dir pTextLabel1="Folder to extract/download files to:",1,1,319,150,230,18,8,Normal[/codebox] i also attached two screenshots and the script...

Also, i like to add comments to my script, but somehow wb just seems to remove them after is used the script a while... why is that?

Thanks,

Markus Debus

Hallo Markus
[German]Du könntest ruhig mal 'Flagge zeigen'[/German]
I do not see any difference in the two screenshoots, can you repost and put (by paint) an arrow as pointer?

That the comments are lost, is not nice, but system dependent. When you edit the GUI, depending on what happened, sometimes WinBuilder decides to rewrite the [interface] section.
And that is done by
  • erase the complete section
  • write the single elements one after the other
Result: comments are lost

I sometimes use the technique to copy the interface by an external editor.
Just rename the copied [Interface] to [_Interface] and it will remain for ever in your script.

Peter

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw the difference :)
I'll check
Maybe a new appearance of :)

<german>würde ich ja gerne ändern, finde es aber nicht im Profil, wo genau geht das?</german>

Thanks for the info regarding the comments. My comments are at the top of the script and they are erased too...would be nice if comments could stay untouched.

Thanks!

Try to write a section marker [Comments] on top of your comments. Maybe that helps.

Can you tell me, after which action the comments are lost?

Suggestion for the contents of script gui.
Can you move Eula to right and the original options are kept on the original left.
Thanks!

I did a download of NightMan's create iso.
A switched about 50 times between this script and another one.
I never got the 'decreased image' GUI.

How do you get this issue?

In the [interface] there is a pTextLabel6 and a pTextLabel1 (in this order).

I think that I fixed all troubles with this 'unsusual' constellation, but there seems something left.

Change by an external editor #6 to #1 and #1 to #2 and try again.

BTW: Also by multiple switch between Edit and Script in my system the GUI remains ok.

The disappearing labels are truly a bug. If I remember right, I reported this bug about one year ago. The problem is that it happens only on some systems and therefore it is hard to track down this bug.

Currently I have only one hint for you: resize WinBuilder and often the label will re-appear...

No opinion on that. Can you test by using a different system, or deactivate temoralily two monitors.

BTW: When you do not see the text labels: Are they deleted from the [interface]? Or are they placed 'outside'?

My suggestion is that they are simply not getting painted, but a placing outside of the visible area would be possible, too.

I agree with booty#1. The code is not changed, you just can not see the labels...

I will try a different computer as i can find the time...

I just made a short test and saw this problem again. It is definitely a repaint problem. It happens, if the complete windows is repainted e.g. if you minimize WinBuilder or bring it to the front from behind another window. Then the labels are gone. If you now take the window and move it so that one part leaves your visible desktop area and the bring it back again, the labels of the part that were outside of the desktop are (partially) visible again.

@booty#1

Your descriptions are very helpful, and I hope I can reproduce.
If one reproduced the life time of the bug decreases rapidly ...

Use a machine with a poor (or onboard) graphics board.

I tried to hunt down this bug from a Pentium III with fairly good results some time ago but it's hard to tell when it's finally fixed and eventually resurface to haunt wb users.

I would point my finger on the routine that creates new objects - they don't seem to be receiving the proper WM_PAINT messages from their parent object where they are placed, wonder if any additional code is necessary?

:cheers

After booty#1 gave the remarkable hint that this happens under XP XP style but not under XP classic style, I was able to fix.

>> beta 4

Thaks, Booty#1!
