Readonly Colors

Hi. I have an edit control set to readonly but i can't change it's background color to white or other color. It's seems the default color it's that of the window. How can i change it ?

OmYcroN,

This works fine for me - a bright red read-only edit control:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Fred", 10, 10, 200, 200, $ES_READONLY)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Thanks. I was kinda stupid thinking KODA will update the color or something ... My mistake !

I have another problem so i ll not post a new one.

How can i make the vertical scrollbar of an edit control go down every time i send it some text (without using buttons) ? Like when u install windows updates it goes down after the last installed update and no up like the default behavior of the scrollbar from Autoit ?

just use _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText It appends text to the edit and scrolls to the end. Edited April 18, 2009 by ProgAndy
