Read Only Edit Box

[redndahead]

When I make the Edit box read only the background is very dark. I don't remember this happening before. Am I missing something? Here is what style I'm using.

$EditStyle = $ES_WANTRETURN + $WS_VSCROLL + $WS_HSCROLL + $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $ES_AUTOHSCROLL + $ES_MULTILINE + $WS_TABSTOP + $ES_READONLY

Thanks

Also I can't find the option to word wrap the edit box.

Mine is very dark. What are you using for the style?

Any ideas on the word wrap?

Try only these styles:

$ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL

If no one has an idea does anybody mind if I put this in as a bug report?

P.S. this is windows 2K I haven't any idea if it does this on any other os's.

Thats a bit pre-mature. You haven't even posted a small sample script which reproduces the problem, therefore, all anybody has to go on is what you are saying, not what you are doing.

[redndahead]

Damn straight because my test script works on this other computer. I will post my script tmw when I get back to work. :">

Here is the attached script.

Put both files in the same directory and change Main.txt to Main.ini

Thanks Red.

The problem come from the edit inreadonly on tab as I was thinking.

I have no idea why the edit control area is so dark. That can be a Windows design decision.

I attach your script puting in comments the tab and all the second tabitem and it is OK.

Bad luck for this color on edit/readonly/tab

@jpm: after I read something in MSDN library maybe this is an explaination for this:

"WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC

A static control, or an edit control that is read-only or disabled, sends the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message to its parent window when the control is about to be drawn. ..."

So I think we could do something or not?

Thanks Holger, I have a look. I was more on the track to have WM_CTLCOLOREDIT working

Thanks guys I really appreciate you looking at it. It is very difficult to work with at the moment.

Red,

Before we found a solution you can hide the control a display a label with the same info at the same place and switch to the edit control when you want to the user enter info

A label won't allow scrolling will it?

Very similar problem, isn't it? Seems this trouble leak out again. I'm just tried workaround I used before, but it not works in your case... I also hope that this will be fixed.
