like in the help GUICtrlCreateEdit

after the

GUISetState()

add a

Send("{END}")

to remove the focus of the text

aw nice worked like a charm.

one other thing while i was waiting for this answer i got another problem...

u know the way u write like the data text.. not comment but the text for data for guictrl edit here

so instead of writing in the script all the way to the right side how do u manage to another line but with same thing on same var...like this sumtin of my idea to explain here:

$Var = "text here for example1 /
text also here ..for same $var but on other line /
instead of going all the way to right /
side"

i hope u get the idea im explaining ive seen this thing somewhere but rly cant remember

[JFX]

explaining you call that?

In case you want variable with line breaks:

$Var = "line 1" _
& @CRLF & "line 2" _
& @CRLF & "line 3"
