metis, It sounds as if a "cuebanner" is what you need: #include <GUIConstantsEX.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> $hGui = GUICreate("", 500, 300) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Info", 10, 5) Local $aInput[6][2] = [[0, "Name"],[0, "Address"],[0, "Home Phone"],[0, "Mobile Phone"],[0, "Date of birth"],[0, "Town"]] For $i = 0 To UBound($aInput) - 1 $aInput[$i][0] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, (20 * ($i + 1)), 140, 20) GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $EM_SETCUEBANNER, True, $aInput[$i][1]) Next GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit WEnd ;Does not work for edit controls with $ES_MULTILINE style. ;In XP, the banner disappears when the edit has focus (cursor in edit) ;In Vista/7 the banner can optionally still appear when the edit has focus (cursor in edit) ;(third parameter = True/False)Was I right?
