qwert Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I have an edit control defined to accept files (with $GUI_DROPACCEPTED). It works fine ... until I try to follow the SetState with a SetFont statement. It disables the control (the control no longer accepts input). Is this a known situation? I tried adding $GUI_ENABLE to the Set Status, but it did not help: $entry = GUICtrlCreateEdit($fill, 18, 72, 500, 400, $ES_WANTRETURN) GUICtrlSetState(-1, BitOR($GUI_DROPACCEPTED, $GUI_ENABLE)) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12) Can someone point me to documentation for this case? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 12, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2018 qwert, I can use the $GUI_DROPACCEPTED state and still use the edit: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Test", 18, 72, 500, 400, $ES_WANTRETURN) GUICtrlSetState($cEdit, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED) GUICtrlSetFont($cEdit, 12) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd It must be something else in the script that is causing the problem - but as you have not even posted even a runnable snippet demonstrating the problem, there is little more I can suggest.

qwert Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Melba23, thanks for looking at this. It was so clear cut in my actual script (commenting out the SetFont makes it work) that I thought I had isolated something simple. Now that I have to consider the bigger picture, I'll backtrack and look at these additional aspects: The edit control is on a tab panel It's loaded with content using a GUICtrlSetData statement in another part of the script. Although I can control the font by using GUISetFont, changing the font in that statement from 12 to 11.5 causes the edit control to fail. So, it's more complicated than I had hoped. But I'll proceed as you've suggested ... and post a reproducer script or a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
