How to create a styled edit?

[Didonet]

How can i create a edit area with transperent background and when in it there is the code

<b>text</b>oÝ÷ ÚÚ,"¶X¤y»^ÆßÛ.)®'!µìmyØ­¢´áȬ'Ö«y§è®z0jëh×6$text = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 35, 20, 280, 70,  $ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT )

It didn't have border and scrolls, but it still have background color.

Is it possible to create the rich editor?

Global $Obj = ObjCreate("RICHTEXT.RichTextCtrl")
Local $x = 0, $y = 0, $w = 300, $h = 300
GUICreate("test")
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($Obj, $x, $y)
GUICtrlSetPos(-1, $x, $y, $w, $h) ;<== REQUIRED, MUST USE THIS!!!
With $Obj
    .OLEObjects ()
    .OLEDrag ()
    .OLEDropMode = 2
    .ScrollBars ()
    .MultiLine ()
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelFontName = "Arial"
    .SelFontSize = 9
    .HideSelection = False
    .BackColor = 0xFFFFFF
EndWith
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

GUICtrlSetPos must be used or else the width and height of the object won't be correct (weird bug).

Thanks for the script... but it didn't work...

I'm with Windows Vista and i'm seeing nothing.

I think the Vista is the problem...

And another problem:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\rich.text.au3(11,12) : WARNING: $Notes: possibly used before declaration.

With $Notes

~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\rich.text.au3(11,12) : ERROR: $Notes: undeclared global variable.

With $Notes

I tried and that script but nothing happens...

Sorry about that, forgot to switch $Notes to $Obj, copy/paste the code from my previous post and try that again, it should work this time..

And another problem:

WARNING: $Notes: possibly used before declaration.

if $Notes is declared in a function & you try to use it in anywhere else, exept the function where it is declared or on the line above you have declared it in current function, you get this error because autoit reads a functions only if certain conditions are met, like you press a button/hotkey/or put _finction() somewhere.

But if you want to use the declared $Notes value somewhere else, you need to make $Notes a global value. So simply put global $Notes on the first line of your script

and... how to see the rich editor? I can't see it... vista...

If this doesn't work in Vista then I do not know any other solutions, try it again..

Global $Obj = ObjCreate("RICHTEXT.RichTextCtrl")
Local $x = 0, $y = 0, $w = 300, $h = 300
GUICreate("test")
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($Obj, $x, $y)
GUICtrlSetPos(-1, $x, $y, $w, $h) ;<== REQUIRED, MUST USE THIS!!!
With $Obj
    .OLEObjects ()
    .OLEDrag ()
    .OLEDropMode = 2
    .ScrollBars ()
    .MultiLine ()
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelFontName = "Arial"
    .SelFontSize = 9
    .HideSelection = False
    .BackColor = 0xFFFFFF
EndWith
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

I'm also running on Vista and I get this too and I really need this..

Anyone found a solution to this?

Are you sure you have RichText installed on your computer? It should come with MS Word I think. Try downloading this from the microsoft website, maybe this will fix it:
