I have an Edit Box, and before it I want to add a label, like:

Server:[EDIT BOX]

I've tried to add a Read-Only Edit Box before the edit box where I want the user to write... but I cannot change it's color... is there a way I can add a label (not in the box itself)?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Davide,

1. Set the Style property to the adxMsoComboLabel
2. Set the Caption property to "Server:"

Thx a lot!!

Your components have for sure a lot of hidden properties ;)

...can the Edit Box contain a hidden input ? (like the normal edit has The PASSWORD property... so that when the user writes, only '*' will appear?

Hmm... I don't think there are hidden properties. What properties do you mean?

Unfortunately no. It is a limitation of MS Office controls, but not Add-in Express.

I mean, properties that do not appear with code completition.

The hard thing for me is that not all code has a list of suggested properties I can choose from.

For instance if I write:

adxCB.Controls[4].AsDropdownList.

After the "Dot" I don't get any suggestions anymore... so I don't know what I can use (for instance I could use ITEMS...)

But I don't know if this depends from add-in or is a limit of the D2005 IDE.

Hi Davide,

It seems to be a "feature" of the Delphi 2005 IDE. Try to press Ctrl+Space after the dot. For instance:
adxCB.Controls[4].AsDropdownList.<Ctrl+Space>
