Creating a borderless input?

[nullschritt]

I've searched but I can't seem to find an answer to this question, is it possible to make a text input control with no border?

And if so, how?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a basic question, I really did search the help file and forums.

Sorry but I don't know what function you're using?

[lorenkinzel]

example:      $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 56, 64, 393, 21, -1, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

The input has no border if you use "$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT" as extended property.

Okay, thanks a bunch.

No go, still seeing a border.

[lorenkinzel]

Quite welcome.

When the helpfile doesn't work (for me) I would, in this case, google "autoit input no border".

Nailed it on the first hit.

I have yet to master the search function on the forum.

That does not appear to be a simple input.

But we all know; no code, no can figure it out.

With a simple input, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT gives you no border.

Your input appears to be placed in another control.

Yes-no?

No, it's in a child window on top of a gif. The control doesnt appear to have a border over most normal controls, but it has a border when overlaid on an image.

Well, I tried, I failed.

Within 3.3.9.22:

#include <GUIConstantSex.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 623, 442, 192, 124)
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Water lilies.jpg", 48, 56, 481, 217)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 96, 112, 209, 21, -1, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Gives me an Input with no border.

Sorry to be of so little help.

It must be the border of the child windows im seeing even though it to see set to transparent...

[nullschritt]

Yep, when it was just the border of the child window, now that I'm not using child windows there is no border, cheers mate.
