What? Lol. I'm not sure what it means to "permanently ask", but I think you've misjudged what I actually meant. I'm not sitting here groaning because no one answered. People normally don't answer questions they don't know the answer to. I've never seen someone use anything like a Windows edit box in a Lite-C program, and I found no questions like mine in the forums. It's not exactly a "common" occurrence. It was about 2 days now, so I assumed no one has tried this before, or at least recently. And so far that appears to be a very reasonable assessment. That seemed like a sort of rude/condescending statement, but maybe I'm mistaken...

But thanks for the info anyway. I was thinking I'd have to access Windows API somehow to do this properly. I'm glad to know that I may be able to do it in Lite-C, so I might not have to rewrite the whole thing in C++ (which can get ugly if I work too fast, heheh). I actually think I've got a tutorial on Windows programming for text fields and this sort of thing somewhere on my PC. I'm going to hunt for it. If I can find it, I might be able to "convert" it over to Lite-C. I've adapted C and C++ programs and commands to Lite-C before. I recently did it with an encryption/decryption program that encodes and decodes text with a special key (really cool program :D). I could probably even chop that code down, include it in this app, and use it to encrypt data.

But anyway, I'll continue looking into this. If I can get this to work well, I'll definitely share the code and info on it with everyone. I think that could open up a lot of possibilities for Lite-C programming. It would even be cool to see this sort of feature made into a native A7 feature in the future.

Thanks again, and if anyone else has info, I'm eager to hear! smile
