Show password

[billthecreator]

i have a edit box that is used for a password.

i have it so that when it is not selected and there is no text in the box, it should say 'Password'

but it shows it as a password, with the dots

heres is a clip of what i have.

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode
    Local $input1
    $hWndEdit1 = GUICtrlGetHandle($input)
    $hWndFrom = $ilParam
    $iIDFrom = _WinAPI_LoWord($iwParam)
    $iCode = _WinAPI_HiWord($iwParam)
    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case $hWndEdit1
            Switch $iCode
                Case $EN_KILLFOCUS
                    
                    If _GUICtrlEdit_GetTextLen($input) = 0 Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($input, "Password" )
                        GUICtrlSetStyle($input, ); what goes here?
                        GUICtrlSetColor($input, 0x808080)
                    EndIf
                    
                Case $EN_SETFOCUS    
                     If GUICtrlRead($input) = "Password" Then
                        GUICtrlSetData($input, "")
                        GUICtrlSetStyle($input, $ES_PASSWORD)
                        GUICtrlSetColor($input, 0x000000)
                    EndIf
                Case $EN_CHANGE
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

I want the same thing, show the word Password there.

If the user select to write this should remove the word Password and leave the input empty and when user input a password show dots.

Also I want the combo as read only, but I can't take it done.

just add this to the combo

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose your site...", 96, 248, 121, 25, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "first|second")
