Disabled Editbox WITH color?

[MirnesC2]

Hey, I know that GUICtrlSetColor() changes the font color inside an editbox and setting the editboxes state to $GUI_DISABLE will disable it from being written used.

My question is... Is there anyway to disable the editbox AND change the font color inside the box? When ever I add the $GUI_DISABLE, it overwrites the color I set the it to (green in this case) and changes it to grey. Is there anyway to bypass this?

Also, is there a way to create padding inside the text box? I think that the text is too close to the border... Is there away to change the spacing from borders?

Here is what I am talking about...

Yup that worked, thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to indent WITHOUT adding extra spaces in my strings " (space)blah blah"

@TAB?

@TAB?

Yeeeaaah, that does work along with adding a space but I was hoping there would be another way to do it that didn't involving adding those macros and/or spaces. It would get messy later on. But if those are the only options then its no big deal I guess, it would have made the GUI look nicer but thats not too important.
