GUICtrlCreateEdit

How to disable mouse klicks in

Global $edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 15, 50,810,360, BitOR($ES_READONLY, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL), 0)

I do not want to use 

GUICtrlSetState ( $edit, $GUI_DISABLE )

Maybe there's some sort of layering possibility? to use some kind of layer with transparent option.
I use editbox  to show info. (like console) Maybe there's better way for this instead editbox?

You probalbly have to subclass your editbox and catch some windows' message (take focus??) and return 0 there

Here is old exmaple for similar subclassing:

Here is simple solution using WM_KILLFOCUS

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

$GUI = GUICreate("Example", 200, 200)
$INPUT = GUICtrlCreateInput("123", 50, 50, 80, 20, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_READONLY))
$hINPUT = GUICtrlGetHandle($INPUT)
$INPUT2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("456", 50, 70, 80, 20)
$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 50, 100, 80, 20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Then Exit
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN Then
        _SendMessage($hINPUT, $WM_KILLFOCUS, 0)
;       pseudocode:
;~      If _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint(MouseGetPos()) = $hINPUT Then _SendMessage($hINPUT, $WM_KILLFOCUS, 0)
    EndIf
WEnd

This does not work as needed.
My editbox will receive info from
For $i = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
Global $url = FileReadLine($file, $i)
to show information. And it takes  about 1hr for loop. So i cant use GUIGetMsg()
Does autoit have a possibility to Layer edit box with something that has transparency so info will be visible.? 
By layering i mean, some square object, blank image etc.

Check example of _WinAPI_SetWindowSubclass.  Instead of subclassing the window, subclass the edit box and intercept $WM_LBUTTONDOWN.

If you require more help, please provide a base snippet of the code you are using so we do not have to recreate one from scratch.
