Clearing edit box by clicking button?

[rickd]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and want to say Hi first off, I've found heaps of really good info here so far that has helped a lot.

Just one quick question, how do I clear all the text in an edit box (TAEdit) by clicking a button that is also on the form?

Thanks

GUICtrlSetData($edit_control, '')

Thanks, that did exactly what I wanted.

One other thing I haven't been able to find from the help, is it possible to give a window a status bar? And if so, how to write values to it (ie. status messages)?

Look at _GUICtrlStatusBarCreate in the "GuiStatusBar Management" section in the help file.

Look at _GUICtrlStatusBarCreate in the "GuiStatusBar Management" section in the help file.

I have got the status bar on my window now, but no text appears in it.

$statusbar = _GUICtrlStatusBarCreate($Form1, 361, "test bar text")

Is that wrong?

I do not know. I use a status bar which is empty on creation and then use

_GUICtrlStatusBarSetText($StatusBar, "Text")

to fill in text.
