Edit window highlighting text when restored

[seanm]

Hi. Trying to create a window to display some text. I went with an Edit GUI, setting it to read-only.

I display it, minimize it, and later restore it. When I restore it, all of the text in the GUI is highlighted. I would rather it wasn't highlighted. At the very least, I can send a mouse click to the center of the screen (MouseClick("left", @DesktopWidth/2, @DesktopHeight/2, 1, 1), but I'd like to fix this instead of band-aiding it.

Here's some sample code. Thanks.

#include <GUIConstants.au3> ;GUI creation library

#include <GuiEdit.au3> ;GUI edit library

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 0)

$result1="Some text....."

GUICreate("Test Results:",640,400,-1,-1,$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW)

GUISetFont (8.5, 400, -1, "Courier")

$myedit=GUICtrlCreateEdit ($result1, 0,0,640,400,$WS_VSCROLL+$WS_HSCROLL+$ES_READONLY)

GUISetState ()

GUICtrlSetData($myedit, $result1) ;Update the result text GUI

WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_RESTORE) ;Un-Minimize the Test Results window

WinActive("Test Results:") ;Make the Test Results window the active one

_GUICtrlEditScroll($myedit, $SB_SCROLLCARET) ;Scroll down the result text GUI

Sleep(5000)

WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) ;Minimize the Test Results window

WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_RESTORE) ;Un-Minimize the Test Results window

Sleep(10000)

;;;;;;; MouseClick("left", @DesktopWidth/2, @DesktopHeight/2, 1, 1)

Might try adding a default button.

For example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3> ;GUI creation library
#include <GuiEdit.au3> ;GUI edit library

AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 0)

$result1="Some text....."
GUICreate("Test Results:",640,440,-1,-1,$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW)
GUISetFont (8.5, 400, -1, "Courier")
$myedit=GUICtrlCreateEdit ($result1, 0,0,640,400,$WS_VSCROLL+$WS_HSCROLL+$ES_READONLY)
$mybutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Default", 10, 410, 90, 25)
GUICtrlSetState($mybutton, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)
GUISetState ()

GUICtrlSetData($myedit, $result1) ;Update the result text GUI
WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_RESTORE) ;Un-Minimize the Test Results window
WinActive("Test Results:") ;Make the Test Results window the active one
_GUICtrlEditScroll($myedit, $SB_SCROLLCARET) ;Scroll down the result text GUI
Sleep(5000)
WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) ;Minimize the Test Results window

WinSetState("Test Results:", "", @SW_RESTORE) ;Un-Minimize the Test Results window
Sleep(10000)

That works. Thanks.
