$ES_READONLY + Input

[Zilee]

Sup guys. I insert a long path inside a ctrl input, I don't want to let the users edit the path once it's placed inside the edit so I added the readonly attribute.

Only issue is, I can't use the mouse to select long strings, the hidden text simply doesn't move along. Keyboard arrows and HOME/END key's aren't doing much good either. I can't make my input longer since my window has a size I don't want to change.

This is working for me:

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

$Form1 = GUICreate("TEST", 215, 88)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Path", 32, 32, 26, 17)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\SecStore\", 64, 30, 121, 21, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT,$ES_READONLY))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I can select either with the mouse or with the keyboard the path in the input box.

UEZ, however this doesn't:

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

$Form1 = GUICreate("TEST", 215, 88)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Path", 32, 32, 26, 17)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Projects\SystemIndex\SecStore\", 64, 30, 121, 21, $ES_READONLY)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
