Selectable label or frameless input box?

[Glowshi 1]

Yay, this is my first post!

I'm curious if there is any way to create a label with selectable text or an input or edit box with no frame? I basically just need some text with nothing around it that people can copy and paste.

I'm also curious about controlling the order of overlapping controls, say I have a group and it overlaps an edit box and I want the group frame to always be on top, is there any way to control which controls are in front of others?

Thanks

Creating a label with selectable text:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form2 = GUICreate("AForm1", 634, 450, 197, 116)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("AInput1", 8, 8, 121, 21, $ES_READONLY); $ES_READONLY = stops the text being changed
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Input1,0xD4D0C8);0xD4D0C8 = same colour as form
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
    ;;;;;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

As for overlapping, I'm sure that the order the controls are created does this automatically. E.g. if you create the group after you create the edit box, then it should overlap.

how is he supposed to write to that inputbox?

if its readonly then you can't write to it

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("AInput1", 8, 8, 121, 21, -1, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT )
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Input1,0xD4D0C8);0xD4D0C8 = same colour as form
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()

    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

@Nuffilein805:

I read from the post that he only wanted to copy and paste the text in the input box. I didn't realise that he wanted to write to it too. (Hence the reason for the $ES_READONLY style).
