The following code works in AHK Help, RUN Dialog , IE Address Bar etc
However it does not work in multiline Edit control such as notepad.

Code:
~+MButton::
 MouseGetPos,,,,cHwnd, 2
 Control, ExStyle, +0x20, ,ahk_id %cHwnd%
 SendMessage, 0xCC, Asc("*"), 0,, ahk_id %cHwnd%
 ; The following redraws the Control
 Control, Hide,,,ahk_id %cHwnd%
 Control, Show,,,ahk_id %cHwnd%
Return

It works with Win XP Pro SP1, sometimes!

It's strange, but the ClassNN of the Edit fields seems to change when opening and closing the tabs of the helpfile!

I have the pleasure and surprise to announce that your last script works with Run dialog, IE address bar, WinExplorer address bar, AHK Help edit field in the Search tab... but not in the edit field in the Index tab, where I did my tests... Sad
Ah, I closed the Help, re-opened it, and it works in the later field! My experiments might have put it in some strange state...
Sorry for the noise, thanks for being persistent.

Thanks for this vey interesting code.
BTW, ES_PASSWORD is Style, not ExStyle, of the (single-line) edit control.
So, I suppose the ExStyle, +0x20 (:WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) does no effect on the password style.
SendMessage with EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR seems to be the essential one.

Just for fun, please try to type C:\ after executing the following script:

Code:
Gui, Add, Edit, w640 HWNDhMyEdit
SendMessage, 0xCC, Asc("*"), 0,, ahk_id %hMyEdit%   ; Add ES_PASSWORD Style
SHAutoComplete(hMyEdit)
Gui, Show
;Sleep, 10000
;SendMessage, 0xCC, 0, 0,, ahk_id %hMyEdit%   ; Remove ES_PASSWORD Style
Return

~Enter::
ControlGetText, MyText, , ahk_id %hMyEdit%
Run, %MyText%
GuiClose:
ExitApp

SHAutoComplete(hEdit)
{
   DllCall("ole32\CoInitialize", "Uint", 0)
   DllCall("shlwapi\SHAutoComplete", "Uint", hEdit, "Uint", 0)
   DllCall("ole32\CoUninitialize")
}

SHAutoComplete must be appied to Edit controls.
So, in ComboBox case, first have to find its (child) Edit control. E.g.,

Code:
Gui, Add, ComboBox, w640 HWNDhMyCombo
ControlGet, hMyEdit, hWnd,, Edit1, ahk_id %hMyCombo%
SHAutoComplete(hMyEdit)
Gui, Show
Return

Thanks. Very Happy
This will be useful to start a firefox/opera instance with IE address bar history. Smile

Should be possible. Please give an example.

I know I'm late to the game in this thread, but I've become interested in this problem.

I know that the techniques discussed work only on single line edit fields. Is there any way to make them work in multiline fields. I've tried some experiments using one edit field to accept input and sending input to a second edit field with the thoughts that I'd hide the first field, but I ran into trouble with the editing keystrokes (backspace, delete, left and right arrows, mouse clicks in the middle of a field.)

What I need is a multiline edit field which accepts input from a user in the normal way (and I need to see what was typed), but which displays only "*" in place of the characters.

Any suggestions?

Dave
