Glutch Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to get a placeholder instead of raw text on the Koda inputs.'> $key = GUICtrlCreateInput("Keys to press (optional)", 16, 160, 145, 21) I dont want the text to stay in the box if i click inside it. I want a solution like this in html: <input type="text" placeholder="Keys to press (optional)"/> Would greatly appreciate some advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEZ Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 You can do something like this here: #Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200) $iLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test", 10, 10) $iBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 200, 100, 60, 60) $key = GUICtrlCreateInput("Keys to press (optional)", 16, 160, 145, 21) ControlFocus($hGUI, "", $iLabel) GUISetState() GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND") Do Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $iBtn GUIDelete() Exit EndSwitch Until False Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) Switch $hWnd Case $hGUI Switch BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) Case $key Switch BitShift($wParam, 16) Case $EN_KILLFOCUS If GUICtrlRead($key) = "" Then GUICtrlSetData($key, "Keys to press (optional)") Case $EN_SETFOCUS If GUICtrlRead($key) = "Keys to press (optional)" Then GUICtrlSetData($key, "") EndSwitch EndSwitch EndSwitch Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND Br,UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!

Glutch Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Oh... That was a tedious solution. I'll probably put a label above the input instead. Thanks for the help though! PS: Koda should implement this feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2015 Glutch (and UEZ),No need to be quite so complicated - use a cuebanner: #include <GUIConstantsEX.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> $hGui = GUICreate("", 500, 500) $cInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 200, 20) GUICtrlSendMsg($cInput, $EM_SETCUEBANNER, False, "Keys to press (optional)") $cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 100, 80, 30) GUICtrlSetState($cButton, $GUI_FOCUS) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndI hope that helps.

Loc Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Looks like using Style $ ES_READONLY it cannot be displayed. Is there any way? @Melba23 Edited February 2, 2021 by Loc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 2, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2021 MrRow, The cuebanner is designed to vanish when text is entered. If you cannot enter any text then why do you need a cuebanner? Just use a label instead.

Andreik Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 How about not grave digging old threads without adding any real value? Sending EM_SETCUEBANNER to input control has been already suggested. When the words fail... music speaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
