"Select all" for Edit control?

Well... I've made an edit control. It works all good as I want except that I can't use CTRL+a hotkey to select all and it really annoys me sometimes.

Is there any way to "enable" this hotkey? Like control style or whatever... not by hotkeyset of course...

I know I could do this with richedit control but there's no such implemented yet

Here's more than you asked for, didn't feel like changing my scrap that much, just added the hotkey to it.

Edit: Far as I know, there is no magic built in HotKey to enable.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Global Const $WM_COMMAND = 0x0111
Global Const $EN_CHANGE = 0x300
Global Const $EN_SETFOCUS = 0x100
Global Const $EN_KILLFOCUS = 0x200
Global Const $DebugIt = 1
Global $changed = 0
HotKeySet("^a","_SelectAll")

GUICreate("My GUI combo")  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("This is a test, this is only a test", 80, 50, 270, 170) ; create first item
$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 230, 60, 20)
GUISetState()
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "MY_WM_COMMAND")

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $changed = 1
            ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ; You also can complete let the line out.
    ; !!! But only 'Return' (without any value) will not proceed
    ; the default Autoit3-message in the future !!!
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>MY_WM_COMMAND

    $s_text = StringReplace($s_text, @LF, @LF & "-->")
    ConsoleWrite("!===========================================================" & @LF & _
            "+===========================================================" & @LF & _

EndFunc   ;==>_DebugPrint

I figured every edit control handled things like Ctrl+A itself. Are they just accelerator keys?

Uh...

Thanks for that post gafrost, however that's not what I'd like, as I mentioned

not by hotkeyset of course...

in my first post.

I don't like it because I'd like my program to be running in background and ^a set as hotkey captures ctrl+a from other window... so that doesn't solve my problems ;)

And perhaps I could do that with something like "if the gui window is active, select all from focused control, else send ctrl^a", but still, I'd prefer it as it works in richedit...

Well, I guess I'll wait for your richedit UDF :whistle:

Unless someone got other idea...
