Enter text in GUICtrlCreateInput / Scroll left as typing

[fesrts]

Hello,

I have an input field that displays only up to 10 characters. But the user is expected to type more than 10 and as they type, I would hope that the text in the input field will move to the left. As my GUI size is limited and constraint, I cannot have the input box any longer (nor can I have it any larger).

For example,

Max viewable in the input box

123456790

User continues to type another "abcd"

Input box should show

567890abcd

I tried $ES_AUTOHSCROLL but it seems to be the wrong option to use.

Appreciate any thoughts and suggestion.

fesrts,

$ES_AUTOHSCROLL works for me...

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n

local $gui010   =   guicreate('')
local $inp010   =   guictrlcreateinput('',0,20,50,20,$es_autohscroll)
                    guisetstate()

while 1
    switch guigetmsg()
        case $gui_event_close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Perhaps you are having some other problem.  Post your code for more help.

Hey thanks!... through your example given, I found where the error is.

I had it as

$idScanUserID = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 272, 160, 145, 36, 0,  $es_autohscroll)

When it should be

$idScanUserID = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 272, 160, 145, 36, $es_autohscroll)

Many thanks.... Cheers.
