Getting InputBox to automatically remove text when clicked.

[GeekS 0]

Lets say we have a GUI with an input box like this:

$BeltInput1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("FCR", 369, 281-20, 31, 20, $ES_CENTER, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 1500, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 3223601)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)

Now, whenever i want to insert something in the box instead of "FCR", i have to "Overwrite" it. I want it to automatically remove the "FCR" whenever i click a box.

Thanks in advance, Gnu / GeekS.

GUICtrlSetData may be the function you are looking for.

GUICtrlSetData($BeltInput1,"The New Data") or

GUICtrlSetData($BeltInput1,"") for nothing

It's not exactly the command GUICtrlSetData i'm searching for. However i want it to do the same as you wrote, only when i click on the inputbox.

Try using

GUIGetMsg (1)

This give you a array...

Try reading the array and then you'll know what to do...

Sadly it doesnt actually tell me anything out from this:

$array[0] = 0 or Event ID or Control ID
$array[1] = The window handle the event is from
$array[2] = The control handle the event is from (if applicable)
$array[3] = The current X position of the mouse cursor (relative to the GUI window)
$array[4] = The current Y position of the mouse cursor (relative to the GUI window)

Anyone who can help me actually read how to make that array usefull for my purpose?

$gui = GUICreate("GUI", 434, 58, 193, 125)
$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("blub", 16, 16, 393, 21)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    $cmsg = GUIGetCursorInfo($gui)
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    If $cmsg[4] = 3 AND $cmsg[2] = 1 Then GUICtrlSetData($input,"")
WEnd

Thanks Nuki for helping, helped me out there . Didnt end up exactly the way you said but something like it:

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP

Dim $Item[44] = ["", $HelmInput1, $HelmInput2, $HelmInput3, $HelmInput4, $AmuletInput1, $AmuletInput2, $AmuletInput3, $AmuletInput4, $WeaponInput1, $WeaponInput2, $WeaponInput3, $WeaponInput4, $ArmorInput1, $ArmorInput2, $ArmorInput3, $ArmorInput4, $ShieldInput1, $ShieldInput2, $ShieldInput3, $ShieldInput4, $GlovesInput1, $GlovesInput2, $GlovesInput3, $Ring1Input1, $Ring1Input3, $BeltInput1, $BeltInput2, $BeltInput3, $BeltInput4, $Ring2Input1, $Ring2Input3, $BootsInput2, $BootsInput3, $BootsInput4, $CharmsInput2, $CharmsInput3, $CharmsInput4, $SkillsInput3, $Skillsinput4]

$click=GUIGetCursorInfo()
For $count = 1 to 43
If $click[4] = $Item[$count] Then GUICtrlSetData($item[$count],"")

Next
