BrewManNH Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The best way to do it is the way that Windows does it natively using the EM_SETCUEBANNER parameter for the input control.

mikell Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) jguinch your code didn't work for me, I don't know why (XP ?) I had to do it like this #Include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> #Include <WindowsConstants.au3> GUICreate("gui", 200, 45) Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput('this is a test', 10, 10, 180, 25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNA) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "_WM_COMMAND") While GUIGetMsg() <> -3 WEnd Func _WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) Local Static $begin = 1 If $begin and (BitAND($wParam, 0x0000FFFF) = $idFile) Then GuiCtrlSetData($idFile, "") $begin = 0 EndIf Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG' EndFunc Edited April 5, 2015 by mikell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 People still use XP? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
