Have you tried.

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

After you created the input box to see if that would work?

Edit... that seems to only work on Label.

I believe he's talking about a GUI input control (I got that from him using a picture).

[Joke758]

Yes I am talking about a input box in a GUI...

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT) doesn't work..

The special flag $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT can be used with label and picture controls to give them a transparent background.

[Joke758]

so... it's impossible?

[Valuater]

yes... for a log-in???

create the gui

create the pic

set pic as disabled

create a label - transparent

create a button to submit ( or whatever)

while loop

if _Ispressed() ; see help or link below

$read = guictrlread() the label

set the label data $read & $key_pressed

endif

if message = submit then.....

wend

link... for _IsPressed

Create your own input control, lol. Thats the only thing you can do.

;example -

1. ONLY if the window is activated do,

2. Check for the keys that are pressed,

3. Crate a base label,

4. Add to the label the key that was pressed.

but i guess that is too much work, for such a simple question
