czardas Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 I have a strange issue with using Ctrl+A to select all the text in an AutoIt edit control. I had always presumed that it was me, because Manadar told me that it works fine for him so I never reported it as a bug. I am still not sure if it is a bug. However I had the same problem on Win 2000, and now XP pro - also using different hardware. I now know it has nothing to do with my coding skills because I have the same issue with the help file examples. I also know it has nothing to do with my typing because it selects all items or text perfectly well in all other applications. Although I have found a way to work around this by setting Ctrl+A as a hotkey when an edit control has focus on an active window, I still worry about undesirable knock on effects. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, or can anyone think of something I haven't tried that might help me to solve this mystery? operator64 ArrayWorkshop
hannes08 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Hi czardas, what exactly is your issue? Doesn't it mark all characters? So far I have had no such problem. Regards,Hannes[spoiler]If you can't convince them, confuse them![/spoiler]

EDIT => This is much easier and more stable. I was under the impression that hotkeys like Ctrl+A were automatically set when you create the edit control. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+X all work fine. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this happen. Edited June 17, 2011 by czardas operator64 ArrayWorkshop
