I don't know AutoCad or its input line, but I assume that you want a prompt and then a small input area? Why not position the text input widget of your choice with enough space on its left hand side to allow for the read-only text, and set it each time using Fl_Widget::label() or, better still, copy_label() ? Or use two separate widgets, one read-only, and one for the input? Adjust their colours to match, set to FLAT_BOX, and then put them in a group with appropriate box type to form a single visual unit.
