strange lowercase problem

[wonder]

Hi,

I have a problem with an input control, when reading the input control(GUICtrlRead) from an inputfield with the options $ES_MULTILINE & $ES_PASSWORD all charecter typed in the inputfield are converted to lowercase. If i remove the $ES_MULTILINE option then everything is ok. (If i type lowercase or uppercase or a combination of both i get the exact value typed in the inputfield)

a piece of the code

CODE

$e = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 200, 170, 200, 31, $ES_MULTILINE & $ES_PASSWORD )

$PassWd = GUICtrlRead ( $e )

MsgBox(0, "Passwd", $PassWd)

Have anybody came across this problem??

Any suggestion??

THanks in advance

The problem is here:

$e = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "TEST", 5, 5, 390, 50, $ES_MULTILINE & $ES_PASSWORD )

Should be:

$e = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "TEST", 5, 5, 390, 50, BitOr($ES_MULTILINE,$ES_PASSWORD))

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("GUI", 400, 100)
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

$e = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "TEST", 5, 5, 390, 50, BitOr($ES_MULTILINE,$ES_PASSWORD))
$myButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("GO", 165, 70,50)


While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $myButton
            $PassWd = GUICtrlRead ( $e )
            MsgBox(0, "Passwd", $PassWd)
    EndSwitch
Wend

Thanks for your reaction, but that didn't for me. The inputbox just displays the character when typing in the inputbox.

Actually i was trying to use the style and extended style parameter, but that doest'n work. I've decided to let go of the extended styles.

I've use the BitOr function you came up with.

CODE

GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 200, 230, 200, 31, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_PASSWORD), $ES_MULTILINE)

Thanks

It works fine. If you look at my example, the word "TEST" is in capital letters. When you click the button a messagebox pops up showing...you guessed it "TEST".

The characters do in fact retain their case.

Hmm forgot about the whole password thing.

This should work but doesn't show asterisks:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("GUI", 400, 100)
GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

$e = GUICtrlCreateEdit ( "Test", 5, 5, 390, 50,$ES_PASSWORD)
$myButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("GO", 165, 70,50)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $myButton
            $PassWd = GUICtrlRead ( $e )
            MsgBox(0, "Passwd", $PassWd)
    EndSwitch
Wend

Hi,

I guess the problem is that multiline and $ES_Password don't fit together.

So long,
