Alexxander Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 InputBox('title', 'prompt' , 'description that is erased when you type') Yes i want somthing like this but for gui like GUICtrlCreateInput
Gianni Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 GUICtrlCreateInput("description that is erased when you type", 10, 5, 300, 20) Alexxander 1 Chimp small minds discuss people average minds discuss events great minds discuss ideas.... and use AutoIt....
Alexxander Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 GUICtrlCreateInput("description that is erased when you type", 10, 5, 300, 20) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> GUICreate(" My GUI input acceptfile", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES) Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput("test1", 10, 5, 300, 20) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED) GUICtrlCreateInput("test2", 10, 35, 300, 20) ; will not accept drag&drop files Local $idBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Loop until the user exits. While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $idBtn ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd in my case test2 will not be erased until i manually select the word "test2" i'am looking for something that clear the input when i press anywhere with the mouse inside the inputbox
BrewManNH Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 The best way to do it is the way that Windows does it natively using the EM_SETCUEBANNER parameter for the input control. Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput('', 11, 11, 125, 23) GUICtrlSendMsg($idFile , $EM_SETCUEBANNER, True, "Username") JohnOne 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

Alexxander Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Thank you guys a lot and sorry for being an ignorant...
mikell Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) jguinch your code didn't work for me, I don't know why (XP ?) I had to do it like this #Include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> GUICreate("gui", 200, 45) Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput('this is a test', 10, 10, 180, 25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNA) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "_WM_COMMAND") While GUIGetMsg() <> -3 WEnd Func _WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) Local Static $begin = 1 If $begin and (BitAND($wParam, 0x0000FFFF) = $idFile) Then GuiCtrlSetData($idFile, "") $begin = 0 EndIf Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG' EndFunc Edited April 5, 2015 by mikell
