Edits and Inputs

[billthecreator]

How would one be able CTRL+A in a edit or input and select all. Hotkey im guessing, but it wouldnt allow me to. Is there any other way to have the function select all in the edit with text

Hi,

You could try using _GUICtrlEditSetSel() udf, found in the Help File under

User Defined Function Reference ->GuiEdit Management ->_GUICtrlEditSetSel()

Example using hotkey Ctrl + A to select all...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

HotKeySet("^a", "SelectAll")

GUICreate("Ctrl + A to Select All", 400, 400)
$EditBox = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 380, 380)
GUISetState()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         ExitLoop
   EndSelect
WEnd

Func SelectAll()
    _GUICtrlEditSetSel ($EditBox, 0, -1)
EndFunc

Probly other ways to do it as well, but this was the first example I could think of..

Cheers
