Mouse click in text box

[Rskm]

Hi, recently i created a GUI for some calculations in AutoIT.  The GUI has 2 tabs and on the first tab, it has few inputboxes where i use to click with mouse and start entering the inputs. i recently made some changes in the position of these textboxes. I made this by changing the autoit code file instead of making changes in KODA. Now i cannot click inside these textboxes with mouse. However, i can use TAB key to cycle through/enter input in these input boxes. what could have made the inputboxes not responding to mouseclicks. thanks

@Rskm how about posting the code so we can see what you're seeing, rather than asking us to guess?

Sorry... but my crystal ball is broken. You'll need to show us your code if you want anything more than a wild guess.

Hi, The code is here.. so when i run this, on the Tab 1, there is a text box 'location of the ....' i am not able to click in this with the mouse now.  But if i use Tab on keyboard, i can enter the input. i am not sure why mouse clicks are not accepted now.

Hi, i have posted the code below.

[Melba23]

Rskm,

When you post code in future please use Code tags - see here how to do it.  Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

And please do not double post - I have deleted the duplicate.

Your issue is caused by these lines ---

Global $Labe33 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("1. Input 1", 16, 80,300,200)
Global $Labe34 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("2. Input 2", 16, 120,300,200)
Global $Labe34 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("3. Input 3", 16, 185,300,200)
Global $Labe35 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("4. Instructions", 16, 250,300,200)

With a height of 200, they are overlapping the lower controls thus preventing them from being clicked with the mouse.

@Danp2, thanks, it is working now.
