newbie problem

[Guest niwre22]

Hi,

I have a problem with bij GUI, and I can't find in the helpfile...

What's my problem:

$Edit_1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("My story about myself: {ENTER} Hi! {ENTER} ...", 50, 182, 498,)

I would like type a story in the textbox, but if I type: {ENTER}, the line doesn't go done... (Enter)

How can I fix that problem?

The people can read the text, but also edit the text!

How can I do that people alone read the text, en NOT edit the text?

Thx!

Welcome .

To simulate a line break in AutoIt we use...

@CR

Carriage return, Chr(13); sometimes used for line breaks.

@LF

Line feed, Chr(10); typically used for line breaks.

@CRLF

= @CR & @LF ;occasionally used for line breaks.

$Edit_1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("My story about myself: " & @CRLF & "Hi!" & @CRLF & "...", 50, 182, 498,)

For more information type one of the above into the help file.

thanks Burrup,

It works now great!

About my second question...

Is this also possible with AutoIT?

Something like this?

GUICtrlCreateedit("You can't edit me",20,20,300,200,$ES_READONLY)

Or

GUICtrlCreateedit("You can't edit me",20,20,300,200)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)

Seeing that this is for a story, you may want to look at the $WS_VSCROLL style too. To add a scroll bar to the Edit.

Like this also..............

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 500, 500)
$Edit_1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("My story about myself: " & @CRLF & "Hi!" & @CRLF & "...", 0, 0, 500,500,$ES_READONLY + $WS_VSCROLL)
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        Exit
    Case Else
    ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

I can't edit the text!

But...

The background of the edit box is black, and it must be White.

Thx for help!

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global Const $EM_SETREADONLY = 0xCF

GUICreate("MyGUI", 300, 200)

$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("My story about myself: " & @CRLF & "Hi!" & @CRLF & "...", 0, 0, 200,200, $ES_READONLY + $WS_VSCROLL)
$check = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ("Read Only?", 210, 10, 100, 20)

GUICtrlSetState($check, $GUI_CHECKED)
GUICtrlSetBkColor ($Edit, 0xFFFFFF)

GUISetState()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
      Case $msg = $check
         If $check = $GUI_CHECKED Then
            GUICtrlSetStyle ($Edit, $ES_READONLY + $WS_VSCROLL)
         ElseIf $check = $GUI_UNCHECKED Then
            GUICtrlSetStyle ($Edit, $EM_SETREADONLY + $WS_VSCROLL)
         EndIf
   EndSelect
WEnd

The check box works but setting the style to $ES_READONLY/$EM_SETREADONLY doesn't. I believe it is a bug that should be fixed and I have submitted it to the 'Bug Reports' forum.

I had similiar issues setting the editbox to readonly or readwrite after creation. I got it working. Here's the thread:
