GuiCtrlCreateFile?

[cdkid]

well, you know how in HTML you can use <input type="file"> etc, well is there a way to make a file input or would it just be easier to link a button that opens a file open dialog & a text control?

You don't just mean an input box that will accept a paste for the file path/name? Or do you mean like the FileOpenDialog() function as a GUI control?

[cdkid]

i mean a control that looks like

[iNPUTBOX] [bUTTON]

then u can either put in a file in the inputbox or hit the button and it opens a fileopendialog... i could just write the button and inputbox seperately and link em, but i was just wondering if there's already something like it

I think I've seen the kind of control you're talking about in the wild, but I'll bet they're not a single control in the code. Here's my shot at the kind I've seen:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Gui_1 = GUICreate("Input Test", 300, 110, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter or select the file:", 10, 10, 280, 20, $SS_Center)
$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 250, 20)
$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("...", 270, 40, 20, 20)
$Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 120, 70, 60, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui_1)

While (1)
    $GuiMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $GuiMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GuiMsg = $Button_1
            $SelFile = FileOpenDialog("Select File", "", "All Files(*.*)", 1)
            If Not @error Then GUICtrlSetData($Input_1, $SelFile)
        Case $GuiMsg = $Button_2
            $SelFile = GUICtrlRead($Input_1)
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete($Gui_1)

MsgBox(64, "Input Test", "Selected File: " & $SelFile)

Cheers!
