Edit Boc styles problem

[fi3ldy]

i have my basic guictrlcreatedit box..it has scrollbars vertical and horizontal, is editable by the user and has a border, i need to remove the scrollbars, remove the border if possible (light blue default), and make it readonly.

ive tried a many ways, and im not to sure on how to use Bit functions , altho i had a go at BitOr which didnt work for me

also when i have succeeded to an extent, i get problems such as the text box doesnt move up or down as it doesnt have scrollbars, it stays in one position to the other text is not viewable.

i know that must have been boring to read and i appologise but this is really bugging me!!!

any help/advise appriciated. thank you

Try

$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit('',20,20,200,400,0x0800)oÝ÷ Ù©Ýü¨»§¶Ø^µìmqéíz·jëh×6$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit('',20,20,200,400,0x0801)oÝ÷ ØêÚºÚ"µÍÌÍÑY]HÕRPÝÜX]QY]

I can't remember if that gave me the Vert scroll as required or not and none of the above will remove the border

thx for reply. i use just $ES_READONLY or 0x0800, it makes it readonly but the text isnt viewable, asin i cannot see all of the text, only the proportion that is in the box size, the text underneath i am not able to view by dragging the mouse down etc

see _TargetStyle() in ANYGUI in my signature.

changing styles usually means the control needs repainting(update) to see the change properly.

GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit , $EM_SETREADONLY, True, 0)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor($Edit , 0xFFFFFF)
