Embedding Notepad in GUI

[Spask]

Hello, how can I embed a notepad window in my GUI?

$np = Run("notepad.exe")

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $bot = GUICreate("AutoIT bot", 226, 126, -1, -1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Welcome

Why do you want to embed Notepad? 

Look at the Edit control

If you google "Embedding possible with AutoIt" there should be a post by Martin with a example script for embedding notepad in a GUI.

Thanks, it worked. I wanted to have a text field in my GUI but the normal textbox doesn't have that many options so I wanted to embed a notepad window. But is it possible to have them both active? So notepad could act like a text box in the GUI instead of another window.
