Yeh, I posted at the same time as you did so missed your post.

You seem to have also missed the lower half of this post.

I see fascists...

No problem!

I'll repeat again about why I have done this UDF:

"In my UDF we can also set the foreground and background color!"

Just what I needed for my program!

My comments are not directed at you JScript.

My first post gives additional reasons of support for your method.

Your UDF fixes two problems with the EM_SETCUEBANNER method

for users with requirement for Asian languages support that is missing in XP, as well as the broken cue banner when the control has focus option.

So, I couldn't be bothered to use the link to post format in the editor.

How about a relevant remark to the issue at hand instead of the usual mutual admiration society sarcasm.

James was pointing out what EM_SETCUEBANNER is in HTML, because Mat stated earlier on the following...

And:

I'm fairly sure I've seen at least another 2 on the forums... I get the feeling no one knows what this is supposed to be called, so never finds it by searching and writes another one instead.

HTML5 <input> placeholder Attribute.

As I understood, yes. I don't think there was any malice in his post.

Ironic. Says the big man who turned off private messaging, too scared for a discussion.

@guinness is right; I was referring to Mats post, and unfortunately, I mustn't have clicked MultiQuote properly or something, because I was going to quote him and reply. I'm also at work, so I wasn't spending too much time fussing around with it.

Ok, after we clarified the misunderstanding, let us return to the topic content!

If you have suggestions, tips I'd be very grateful!

Yep, and "placeholder" is the right name for them.

Ok, I added the words "placeholder" and "cuebanner" in the topic title!

But do not think I'll change the name of the UDF or functions, because the word "comment" also refers to the content, and in the Portuguese language is clearer.

João Carlos.

I was always led to believe that you should program American English, libraries from around the world are generally in this style. Surely if you renamed it, you'd help other developers looking for the placeholder script, find it easier?

I do hope this post isn't considered drivel by the way.

I will express my opinion:

cuebanner defines better than placeholder

And above both refer to a comment, tip or suggestion, I am correct?

In that case I could change the name:

_GuiCtrlInput_SetComment()

by:

_GuiCtrlInput_SetCueBanner()

But I think it would be strange: _GuiCtrlInput_SetPlaceHolder()

It's only my opinion, fell free to comment!

I think _GuiCtrlInput_SetCueBanner is a better choice as this is what it is. As I said before nice UDF with a different approach.

Functions renamed, see the first post!

Thanks to all he contributed...

Hey JScript,

I ran across a problem today while using your UDF that when I have tabs and use the _GuiCtrlInput_SetCueBanner function on a tab, say Tab #4, it will set the focus to Tab #1.

Not for sure what could be causing this but when I remove the _GuiCtrlInput_SetCueBanner from the input box it works fine.

Edit: Ok I found some more information. If I have a normal GUICtrlCreateInput on the tab and click the control first it will no longer send me back to the first tab and I can click freely. If I click the inputs with the CueBanner first it will send me back.

Edit2 Solution: I found that if I use ControlClick() and click a input box that does not contain a CueBanner at the start of the script it would no longer do this. Temporary fix till the real solution can be found.
