    • Text not displaying after hiding widget

      Hi all,

      I am trying to create a splash screen for one of my projects. I am using widgets to display logo, progress bar and then trying to display test after hiding widget with logo and deleting progress bar. For some reason I don't see any text being displayed. I do not want logo to be displayed when I am trying to display text. Is there a work around for this?


      Thank you!

    • Hello,

      function for displaying text GUI_DispStringAt() is the drawing function and you should use any drawing functions in WM_PAINT message handler of your dialog.

      When you use GUI_Delay() from WM_INIT_DIALOG it calls dialog update and you see the result of PROGBAR_SetValue()/WM_HideWin().

      It is recommended to use GUI_Exec()/GUI_Delay() from the separate task. But if you want to do it your way, then use a custom flag and pass it to the WM_PAINT handler.

    • Alex,

      Thank you for your help with that. I tried it out. I still can't see the text after progress bar. I don't understand why. But I gave this following code a try and it works.

    • Works on my side, at first glance, in simulation version 5.44. Maybe additional code from your project affects the text visibility.

      Your new code using TEXT widgets instead of drawing text in WM_PAINT of the dialog. This updates the contains of the TEXT widgets in their WM_PAINTs when invalidating the dialog and its child widgets, and all the text drawing functions are called from the right places. Thus you can see the text in your dialog.
