HIGHLIGHTER

Post by nodochau » Thu Jan 23, 2020 2:16 pm

Hi All,
I create a dialog which has a Edit box and set value for it. When I show the dialog how to get rid of the highlighter in the box?
Please see attachment.

Goes to show what I know. I thought it was the tab order. So when I wanted to get rid of the highlight I'd place a "not visible" edit and change the tab order so the highlight would be in the unused edit.

You skin your cat, I'll skin mine.

However, I like how you skin, so I'm gonna do that from now on. :D

Automation is all about experimentation, and I doubt if any of us ever stop learning. I've been using Macro Scheduler since 1998 and I learn something new almost every week - and I'm part of the support team!

Will this work with this and that, if I do this and this? Will this thing also do that thing? Well, I often don't know. It's often something I've never needed to do and never been asked before. So have to experiment to find out.

Of course that's fueled by a constantly moving landscape accompanied by being asked questions by many different people each having a different scenario....

@Dorian,
Boy! Isn't that true! I don't know about you, but I seem to like experimenting with being WRONG!

But, I'd like to see how it feels to stop learning and just know. I'm learning that's not gonna happen!
