Odd action in GUI

[eMac]

I have a simple window GUI. It contains the GuiCreate, and a GuiCtrlCreateEdit box with predefined text in it.

When my program first opens, I get the title bar in a light grey, as if my window is not selected, or the parent window, yet, when I click on the title bar, it turns darker like it's active finally. When I click in the Edit section, the title bar goes grey again.

Also noticing that when I first open the program up, ALL the predefined text in the GuiCtrlCreateEdit is HIGHLIGHTED automatically.

Is there a way to make my program (the single window) active on program startup and the text NOT highlight? Making it active when if I click in the edit area?

Sorry, i don`t understand why need to create two GUI? Just create one GUI with Edit control.

[eMac]

because when I am done, it is going to have several more boxes that you will click over on, hiding one gui to show another (like a wizard)

Just disable and hide the uneeded controls... Much easier IMO.
