Edit Box without Sliders + No Borders + line break?

[Comboku]

Hi Guys,

 

quick dumb question that i could not find an answer to.

I created an EditBox  with the Style $ES_LEFT. I would like to "add" the $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT style so i can use to box without the borders.

My goal is to have a multi line input that automatically breaks into the next line without the sliders or boarders essentially.

i have tried:

$iInput = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Hi", 0, 200, 601, 81, BitOR($ES_LEFT,  $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT))

But it doesn't seem to work. Do you know maybe a style that would fit what i was searching for?

This couldn't work  $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT isn't a style it's a extended style.

Comboku,

How about this:

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

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

$cEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 480, 300, $ES_WANTRETURN, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

GUISetState()

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

That removes all the slider styles and places the Transparent extended style in the right place.
