[SOLVED] GUICtrlCreateInput question

[Chimaera]

Ok i have a input box like this.

$name_input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Customer Name",250,500,300,25)

But when the GUI is active you have to click and highlight the text [Customer Name] to type the proper name in

Is there a simple way to have the text delete or vanish when you click the the input box to type the real name in?

Many thanks

Hi Chimaera,

I can only guess that you'll have to go the way over GUIRegisterMsg, to see when the Conrol has been clicked. Then you can delete the contents easily.

Chimaera,

You can do it this way:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

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

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("Customer Name", 10, 10, 300, 25)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN
            $aCInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo()
            If $aCInfo[4] = $hInput Then GUICtrlSetData($hInput, "")
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Warning: This will clear the input every time you click in it. You might want to use a flag to make it happen only at the first click.
