How to make text in an InputBox selectable/can be highlighted

[Thudo 0]

For example..

$sPassword=InputBox("Login","Enter Password      "&(FileReadLine($sav, 5)),"",'',320,100)

See the code bit "(FileReadLine($sav, 5))" which reads from a line in another location? In the Inputbox that text is non-highlightable by the mouse as is the "Enter Password" (cannot copy/paste it). I want to enable that option only for code bit "(FileReadLine($sav, 5))" so when you place your mouse over it it becomes the I-beam which allows for your to then drag-drop over top then right click and go to copy.

Never seen any info on this. Would be most appreciated if I found a workaround. Thanks autoit community!

Thudo,

So you want to have a copiable password as part of the "prompt"? Cannot be done with an InputBox, you would have to create your own GUI.

Why not just put the suggestion in the "default" positon - then the user automatically replaces it if they start typing?

$sPassword = InputBox("Login", "Enter Password", FileReadLine($sav, 5), '', 320, 200)

Ah.. Hmm.. thats workable I think as the text is already highlighted so when a user is prompted it will immediately over-write the field. I'll have to see if its an acceptable compromise. Glad to see this question was asked of Autoit.. might be useful to others..
