PARAMETER(S):
Text : the text strings to display in the edit box.
Title : the title for the GUI window.
Timeout : if specified, the edit box will disappear in the given seconds.
Permanent : if this is TRUE, closing the window does not destroy the window but hide it.
So it can be displayed again with the window handle.
GUIOptions : the options for the Edit box GUI window.
ControlOptions : the options for the Edit control.
Margin : the margin in pixels between the window borders and the control.
REMARK(S):
No global variables are used. However, it uses these label names: EditBoxClose, EditBoxEscape
EditBoxResize. So the script should avoid using the label names.
RETURN VALUE:
The window handle (hwnd) of the created GUI window
SYNTAX:
EditBox(Text, Title="", Timeout=0, Permanent=False, GUIOptions="Resize MaximizeBox Minsize420x320", ControlOptions="VScroll W400 H300", Margin=10)
