How to use this command to make an editor gadget non-readonly? (#ReadOnly flag)

[netmaestro]

Assuming your editor gadget is 0:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_SETREADONLY, 0, 0)

Pass #True for wParam to set it back to readonly.

Thanks but the editor is not a purebasic gadget.
Should i change GadgetID(0) to control id?

[netmaestro]

Use the hwnd of the control (large number) not the control ID (small number)

[EvilByte]

Hmm i use winspector and i found that control is named RichEdit20W & ID is 1153 but when i use the API

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(1153, #EM_SETREADONLY, 0, 0) 

nothing changes

[netmaestro]

1153 is going to be the control id. Remember I told you you need the hwnd and that is going to be a large number, like 21593776 or such. It's the handle you want, surely Winspector provides that too.

Not sure why now works but i found 000104C4 at winspector and added a '$' in front of it.

Code: Select all

SendMessage_($000104C4, #EM_SETREADONLY, 0, 0)

works perfecty!

Thank you for your time my friend!
