edit questions

not sure if this should be posted here or in the gui section so i might post it twice...

if anyone knows some of the quick ways to send commands to controls like edit boxes, such as undo, and select all... i guess i could always just send ^z or ^a to the box, but i was looking for less of messy way... thanks

You should lookup ControlClick in the help file. To find the control names etc you can use the AutoIt Window Info tool.

If your talking about your own GUI made with autoit, what's wrong with GUICtrlSetData()?

or guictrlread()

... well that's a good point though!! (Especially mixed with GUICtrlSetData() )

Replace $Edit_1 with your edit box variable name.

Select all (Selects all text - Ctrl+A)

Dim $EM_SETSEL = 0x00B1
GUICtrlSetState($Edit_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $EM_SETSEL, 0, -1)

Undo (Undos the last action - Ctrl+Z))

Dim $WM_UNDO = 0x304
GUICtrlSetState($Edit_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $WM_UNDO, 0, 0)

Copy (Copy the selected text to the clipboard - Ctrl+C)

Dim $WM_COPY = 0x301
GUICtrlSetState($Edit_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $WM_COPY, 0, 0)

Cut (Cut the selected text to the clipboard - Ctrl+X)

Dim $WM_CUT = 0x300
GUICtrlSetState($Edit_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $WM_CUT, 0, 0)

Paste (Pastes the text from the clipboard - Ctrl+V)

Dim $WM_PASTE = 0x302
GUICtrlSetState($Edit_1, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $WM_PASTE, 0, 0)

Errr... That's nice tonedeaf... I'll be honest, I'd not even seen those in the guiconstants.au3

Edit:

I guess the reason is, because their not in there ... didn't notice you Dim'd them, thought they were comments.
