[nsdialogs] Text control border
  Hello,
Have a problem creating text control using nsDialogs.
I want to have a border, like on the screenshot. Have no idea what style I need to use. Someone knows?

I use this code to create control... but there is no border... WS_BORDER doeasnt work in nsis...

   Var /Global SN_Edit1

   ${NSD_CreateText} 20u 50u 45u 12u "1234"

    Pop $SN_Edit1

   ${NSD_SetTextLimit} $SN_Edit1 "4"

   ${NSD_AddStyle} $SN_Edit1 ${WS_CHILD}|${WS_VISIBLE}|${WS_TABSTOP}|${ES_CENTER}

think you can use WS_BORDER, don't think there's something like BS_FLAT for text inputs. however, i'm not sure if you can specify the thickness of the border.

WS_BORDER and _not_ WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE

hi, thanks.

${NSD_AddStyle} $SN_Edit1 ${WS_CHILD}|${WS_VISIBLE}|${WS_TABSTOP}|${ES_CENTER}|${WS_BORDER} 

NSIS says that ${WS_BORDER} is unknown variable/constant...
What should I include to script?
I use:

   !include "MUI2.nsh"

   !include "Sections.nsh"

   !include "nsDialogs.nsh"

   !include "WordFunc.nsh"

   !include "FileFunc.nsh"

!define WS_BORDER 0x00800000

NSIS compiles code properly, with that definition.
But, the result is not what I want. Control has no black (dark) border...

Thank you guys.

I thought you were a programmer Pawel?

Something like this maybe:

${NSD_CreateText} 20u 50u 45u 12u "1234"
        pop $1
        System::Call "user32::GetWindowLong(i r1, i ${GWL_EXSTYLE}) i .r0"
        IntOp $2 ${WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE} !
        IntOp $0 $0 & $2
        System::Call "user32::SetWindowLong(i r1, i ${GWL_EXSTYLE}, i $0)"
        ${NSD_AddStyle} $1 0x00800000
