How to set the input border color?

[oceanwind]

Hi All:

 How to set the input border color?

tks in advance

[Melba23]

oceanwind,

I usually use an overlaid label like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

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

$cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 9, 9, 202, 22)
GUICtrlSetState($cLabel, $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000)
$cInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 200, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

hi M23,

 Tks for your quick answer.Your idea is nice ,but in dark background,the input borders is visable and look not good.

Maybe this is involved in somthing like SDk or DLLcall?

GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000)
$cInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 200, 20, -1, 0) ; <------

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

I'm not really good at this, what @Melba23 gave you is it. I just added the no border you wanted.
Play around with Koda.
Koda is included with the editor. From within the editor, you can press Alt-M to bring it up. ( if you are editing an AU3 script )

I have been playing with something very different, but perhaps this will work for you. This uses a very old HTML trick where you take 1x1 pixel image file which you stretch the length you want.  You can make your own _color_????.jpg files...

The While loop here is not a good implementation, but its about showing the use of the color files...

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AutoIt Version: 3.3.14.2
    Author:         Skysnake

    Script Function:
    Sometimes it is necessary to display color in GUIs - often
    graphic color overhead is not required
    - Make 1x1 pixel color files
    - Read and display those colors

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Example()

Func Example()

    ; read all _color_??? image files to array
    Local $aColorFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir, "_color_*")

    #comments-start -- uncomment this section for debug info
        ; Display the results returned by _FileListToArray.
        _ArrayDisplay($aColorFileList, "$aFileList")
        ConsoleWrite("Show comment with trailing text issue" & @CRLF)
    #comments-end -- uncomment this section for debug info


    ; Create a GUI with various controls.
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 400, 100)
    Local $thePic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 0, 0, 400, 4) ; LTWH
    Local $thePicL = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 0, 0, 4, 100) ; LTWH
    Local $theColorname = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 8, 8, 400, 20) ; LTWH

    ; Display the GUI.
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)


    ; Display the child GUI.
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch

        For $c = 1 To UBound($aColorFileList) - 1
            GUICtrlSetImage($thePic, $aColorFileList[$c])
            GUICtrlSetImage($thePicL, $aColorFileList[$c])

            GUICtrlSetData($theColorname, StringMid($aColorFileList[$c], 8))
;~          ConsoleWrite("$aColorFileList[$c][0]" &$aColorFileList[$c]& @CRLF)
            Sleep(2500)
        Next


    WEnd

    ; Delete the previous GUIs and all controls.
    GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

The zip file includes this code and three _color_???.jpegs.
