GUI Edit Box Help

[Guest Py7|-|[]/\/]

Ok, I have created an Edit Box... My question is, how do I make it so that when the Edit Box is created the default text inside of it is already highlighted? Therefore the user can simply press "Backspace" to delete the default text. Thanks.

AFIAK, it is not possible by styles, but try sendinc ctrl+a

Doesn't accept Ctrl + a in edit box. Oh well. Good thing I have a "Clear Box" button

Jon, could you add a possibilty for AutoIt to add this into the GUI functions for the next release? That would be cool.

try this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI edit") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$myedit=GUICtrlCreateEdit ("First line"& @CRLF, 176,32,121,97,$ES_AUTOVSCROLL+$WS_VSCROLL)

GUISetState ()

GUICtrlSetData ($myedit, "Second line")

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

send("{APPSKEY}a")
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend
