A dumb example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
Local $msg

GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 20, 140, 40, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlCreatePic("background-input.bmp",9, 19, 141, 41)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>Example

Convert your img to bmp first. Doesn't work once you start typing

Here 2 snippets I've found:

1)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>


Global $hGUI = GUICreate("Background pic in input control", 615, 438)

Global $iW = 255, $iH = 40 ;size child GUI
Global $iX = 56, $iY = 64 ;position of child gui  and background pic within main GUI

Global $pic = GUICtrlCreatePic(StringReplace(@AutoItExe, "autoit3.exe", "ExamplesGUImslogo.jpg"), $iX, $iY, $iW, $iH)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

Global $hGUI_Child = GUICreate("Test", $iW, $iH, $iX, $iY, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST + $WS_EX_MDICHILD + $WS_EX_LAYERED, $hGUI)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($hGUI_Child, 0xABCDEF)
Global $Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 0, 0, $iW, $iH, $WS_BORDER)
GUICtrlSetFont($Input, 18, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif", 5)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Input, 0xABCDEF)
GUICtrlSetColor($Input, 0xFFFFFF)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI_Child)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI_Child, 0xABCDEF)

WinActivate($hGUI_Child)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

2)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 82, 34, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
GUISetBkColor(0xFEDCBA, $hGUI)

$pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("back1.jpg", 0, 0, 78, 14)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
$pic2 = GUICtrlCreatePic("back2.jpg", 0, 18, 78, 14)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

$hGUI_Child = GUICreate("",  82, 32, 0, 0,  $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD +$WS_EX_LAYERED, $hGUI)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($hGUI_Child, 0xABCDEF)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 0, 0, 82, 16)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_1")
GUICtrlSetFont($Input1, 8, 800, 0, "Tahoma")
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Input1, 0xABCDEF)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 0, 18, 82, 16)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_2")
GUICtrlSetFont($Input2, 8, 800, 0, "Tahoma")
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Input2, 0xABCDEF)

_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI, 0xFEDCBA)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI_Child, 0xABCDEF)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI_Child)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

WinActivate($hGUI_Child)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")

While Sleep(10000)
WEnd

Func _1()
    Local $Input_1_Text = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input1, "")
    MsgBox(0, "", "1: " & "''" & $Input_1_Text & "''")
EndFunc

Func _2()
    Local $Input_2_Text = GUICtrlRead($Input2)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input2, "")
    MsgBox(0, "", "2: " & "''" & $Input_2_Text & "''")
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
    Exit
EndFunc

Change the path to the images appropriately.

wow, I like the first one :D, could you explain the layered window? (I want to change the input position, but turns a bit tricky with all that position differences between the ctrlpic and input position

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.
