GUICtrlCreateInput Help!

[bebeto90]

Hi all,

I need help with GUICtrlCreateInput. I need a user to either browse or type the location of a file on the same GUICtrlCreateInput field ... I am real close ... however if you look at the $GUI_button_browse button ... I try and give GUICtrlCreateInput a new value ... and what I am getting is 2 GUICtrlCreateInput fields in the same place ... what is worse is that if I click on the field the original blank field is activated and the the one with the path that I just browsed for is behind the blank field. Any suggestions how I can disable every think except the $GUI_button_select after the user browses ... or make the GUICtrlCreateInput with no value inactive after browsing.Please help many thanks.
