JohnMcTon Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Hello I'm trying to put a gui with an edit box containing some text on top of another window - this was easy with WinSetOnTop() The window (right now) is just an edit box, showing me some useful information. What I want to do is show the text only -- is that possible? I tried with WinSetTrans() but then the whole window became invisible(including text). I want the text to remain visible - no window. Any help or ideas appreciated a lot. Thanks

Gotemp Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Yep that was it took me a whole two mins of "eh... WHY YOU NO WORK!!!" lol
AutoBert Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 There is no need for an HorKey because the GUI close on ESC on default AutoIt-settings. Only when disabled Opt("GUICloseOnESC",0) it's needed
