Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Just started this script to have a user enter only 10 digit numbers into the Input Box. Got it so that they can only enter digits, but how do I only allow 10 digits? Can't figure it out!

#include "File.au3"

#include "String.au3"

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$file = ""

$foo = ""

Example()

Func Example()

Local $file, $btn, $msg

GUICreate("Block Number:", 180, 60, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, 0x00000018)

$file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 12, 5, 100, 20,0x2000)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Post", 130, 12, 40, 20)

GUISetState()

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

$foo = GUICtrlRead($file)

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

Exit

EndFunc ;==>Example

deef99,

The limit for an input only applies to the MAX, you have to test for the MIN yourself: :mellow:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 10, 10)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read", 10, 100, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            If StringLen(GUICtrlRead($hInput)) = 10 Then
                MsgBox(0, "", "You entered 10 numbers")
            Else ; We have less than 10
                MsgBox(0, "", "Please enter at least 10 numbers")
            EndIf
            ; No need to test for more because GUICtrlSetLimit does that for us
    EndSwitch

WEnd

If they do NOT enter 10, and they can a Msgbox stating to enter 10...how do I reinvoke the Input Box?

deef99,

As you have not deleted it, it can still be filled. Take a look at this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 10, 10)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read", 10, 100, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            If StringLen(GUICtrlRead($hInput)) = 10 Then
                MsgBox(0, "", "You entered 10 numbers")
                GUICtrlDelete($hInput)
                GUICtrlDelete($hButton)
                GUICtrlCreateLabel("You entered 10 numbers", 10, 10, 200, 20)
            Else ; We have less than 10
                MsgBox(0, "", "Please enter at least 10 numbers")
                GUICtrlSetData($hInput, "")
                GUICtrlSetState($hInput, $GUI_FOCUS)
            EndIf
            ; No need to test for more because GUICtrlSetLimit does that for us
    EndSwitch

WEnd

All clear? Ask if not. :mellow:
