How do I create a moveable edit that has a background on it?

[AustrianOak]

I have tried with this code and it doesn't have a background color on it even though i set it to.

$edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 0, 500, 50)
GUICtrlSetState($edit, $GUI_ONTOP)
GUICtrlSetState($edit, $GUI_SHOW)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($edit, 0x000000)

Help :|

I can't even manage to create a damn Edit period.

This is what im doing basically:

Case $msg = $button5
            $edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 200, 200, 120, 40)
            GUICtrlSetState($edit, $GUI_ONTOP)
            GUICtrlSetState($edit, $GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetBKColor($edit, 0x000000)

Whats goin on?

It would be much easier to help if you post a working reproducer and tell us what's happening and what you want it to do.

Funny you mention that as I wouldn't be posting for help if I had a 'working' reproducer. I believe I clearly explained what I want to do in my first post.

How can it get any simpler than that.

You can try this:

$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 64, 64, 169, 201)

GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x00FF00)

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)

Not much. The code you posted cannot be run by us, so AdmiralAlkex said, quite correctly IMO, that it would be easier for us if you posted something which we can run and which shows your problem. That is a working reproducer.

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("", 300, 300)
$button5 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 40, 40, 40, 40)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_Event_Close
            Exit
        Case $msg = $button5
            $edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 100, 200, 120, 40)
            GUICtrlSetBKColor($edit, 0x000000)
    EndSelect
WEnd

I don't understand it. The edit is created perfectly in this example but doesn't even SHOW on my real code and my real code is formatted just like this...

Well then use that
