Required Fields

[Jaboowaki]

I created a GUI and need the fields to be required responses before accepting the OK button.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Region ###

$Form1 = GUICreate("ISPF", 235, 155, 568, 323)

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("ISPF Number", 16, 48, 67, 17)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 48, 129, 21)

$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 48, 80, 32, 17)

$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 80, 129, 21)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 24, 112, 81, 25, $WS_GROUP)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("CANCEL", 128, 112, 81, 25, $WS_GROUP)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

#EndRegion ###

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

EndSwitch

WEnd

Jaboowaki,

In the code which you will run when the "OK" button is pressed, just use GUICtrlRead on the 2 inputs and only process if neither is empty.

So, What's the code for only process when neither is empty? I use GUICtrlRead but it still allows the ok button to process when empty. Oh btw, noob here.

My solution would be:

If one or both of the input fields are empty then the OK button is disabled (greyed out):

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#region ###
$Form1 = GUICreate("ISPF", 235, 155, 568, 323)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("ISPF Number", 16, 48, 67, 17)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 48, 129, 21)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name", 48, 80, 32, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 88, 80, 129, 21)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 24, 112, 81, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("CANCEL", 128, 112, 81, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $Button2
            Exit
        Case $Input1, $Input2
            $sInput1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
            $sInput2 = GUICtrlRead($Input2)
            If $sInput1 <> "" And $sInput2 <> "" Then
                GUICtrlSetState($Button1, $GUI_ENABLE)
            Else
                GUICtrlSetState($Button1, $GUI_DISABLE)
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd
