Memo Stops Updating

Post by moonspoon » Mon Apr 15, 2019 5:40 pm

Hell there,
I have a Memo Box that I update using this code: SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,MSMemo1,Text,Test Text. I use this to inform the user where in the process the code it currently performing. After I use the code above about 15 times the memo box stops updating and will not update. Is there a limit to the about of times one can change the property of a memo inside a dialog or script? Thank you for your help.

Hi,

No, there's no limit at all. Not sure why this is happening. Perhaps try adding a small delay before the SetDialogProperty:

Wait>0.02
SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,MSMemo1,Text,Test Text

Does that help?

"Text" is the Dialog1 MSMemo1 property. Remove "text" from all variables. If the value of "text" becomes, for example, "1234". You have effectively changed
SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,MSMemo1,Text,variable
to
SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,MSMemo1,1234,variable
