String Verify

[RichardT]

All,

I have a simple question (I think). I have a input field that captures a users input ($sInput). I want to make sure that the user inputs only numbers not letters. Here is my code:

$sInput = GUICtrlRead($sCapture)

;Checks to see if $sInput is a valid String

IsString($sInput)

$sX = StringFormat( "%.0d", 2 )

If $sX = @error =1 Then

_FileWriteLog($sLogfile, "")

_FileWriteLog($sLogfile, "Error - Engine Number Format is not Correct")

SplashOff()

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Engine Number Format is not Correct")

GUICtrlSetState($sCapture, $GUI_FOCUS)

EndIf

I want it to return to the input field to try again (thus the GUICtrlSetState($sCapture, $GUI_FOCUS) but it doesn't do anything?

Please help...

To allow only numbers inside a input use:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
$sInput = GUICtrlCreateInput(10, 10, 100, 20, $ES_NUMBER)

Also

If IsString(GUICtrlRead($sInput)) Then

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. Maybe I am puting it into the wrong spot. I use the $sCapture as the variable I assign to the GUICTRLInput. So I have two questions,

1: How whould I use the first suggestion

2: How whould I format the If statement you specified based on the code I posted? Will it use the StringFormat command also?

Thanks

Could you show us all of your code? Inclusive GUI?

[RichardT]

Here is the GUI program. It is large. It programs a Access point at then end, that is why there are so many "Send" commands. As a side note, I do not know why that after I engage the connect function, why does it run the entire function over again, even though it was successful?

I failed to tell who helped me the most with the code. I was JCHD. That guy can code! So if it looks professional, he did it!

You realise you didn't post the GUI right?

Hi RichardT,

I didn't "cough" to have my name on the front stage, I don't care. Since you PMed me that your stuff was corporate stuff and preferably not public, I reminded you that I'm standing behind my humble contribution. I'm not saying I'm the only one on Earth able to help you with this, but as I lastly said, feel free to chime if you have any issue.
