Change state of Input field

[zetaimmersion]

I have 2 items (a field box and a bypass checkbox). every time the box is checked i need the field to become writable. unchecked is read only displaying some text.

this is as far as i got as I am stuck at making it read/write toggle

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

Global $hCombo = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 200, 20, BitOR($ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_READONLY))
GUICtrlSetBkColor($hCombo,0xe7e5e5)

Global $cbox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ("", 40,50,10,20)
GUICtrlSetState($cbox, $GUI_Unchecked)
GUISetState()

Global $sCurrCombo = ""

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cbox
            If GUICtrlRead($cbox) <> $sCurrCombo Then
                $sCurrCombo = GUICtrlRead($cbox)
                GUICtrlSetStyle ($hCombo, $SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP)
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($hCombo,0xFFFFFF)
                MsgBox(0, "Choice", "PLease enter the text")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Hi,

How about having it this way:

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cbox
            If GUICtrlRead($cbox) <> $GUI_UNCHECKED Then
                $sCurrCombo = GUICtrlRead($cbox)
                GUICtrlSetStyle ($hCombo, $SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP)
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($hCombo,0xFFFFFF)
                MsgBox(0, "Choice", "PLease enter the text")
             ElseIf GUICtrlRead($cbox) <> $GUI_CHECKED Then
                GUICtrlSetState($hCombo, BitOR($ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_READONLY))
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Would that suffice you?
