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

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 393, 281, 513, 142)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("word", 16, 16, 361, 21)
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 48, 361, 177)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Replace", 16, 240, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 96, 240, 75, 25)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 176, 240, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

way1000,

One way to proceed would be to have an ini file where each letter key has an associated word value. You could then read the input (GUICtrlRead), parse the content (StringSplit or StringMid), determine the associated words (IniRead), and then add the words to the edit (GUICtrlSetData). Why not try to code something yourself along those lines - you know where we are if you run into problems.

      Vertical center text in INPUT control
      By Genotypek
      Hello.
      I've got a problem. I want to center my input vertically, but I don't have any single idea how to do it.
      There's my example code:
      #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $GUI = GUICreate("Gui", 237, 93, 192, 124) $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Center vertically isn't correct", 16, 16, 201, 62) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd What could I do?
      Greetings, "genotypek".
