JAFN Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I know I am probably missing the obvious again. I need a way to determine if an edit control's text has changed so that I can perform some restriction routines. I have found how to catch each keystroke but that really doesn't help. I assume it has something to do with losing focus. But the edit control seems to have few commands available. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2011 JAFN,Search the forum for a message handler dealing with the $EN_CHANGE message - this is sent when the content of an edit changes. And if that sounds like Chinese, then I recommend reading the GUIRegisterMsg tutorial in the Wiki first.

JAFN Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow I don't think so short a tutorial as ever caused me such a headache. Way way over my current understanding level. But $EN_CHANGE despite zero documentation does make sense to me. Now just have to make it work on the whole instead of letter by letter. But I have thoughts on how to do that. Thanks again for your time. Oh, and any time I said 'edit' I meant 'input' [size="2"]The second mouse gets the cheese[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2011 JAFN,An Input control is just a special case of an Edit control - so the $EN_CHANGE message is still valid. Please do ask about the problems you had understanding the tutorial - we are here to try and help.

M23Appreciated, but that tutorial was jumping way ahead in my learning curve. It might well have been written in Japanese.At some future date I will take you up on that.But I am sure I will be back many times before then Thanks [size="2"]The second mouse gets the cheese[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreik Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Check this example: #include <WinAPI.au3> Global $EN_CHANGE = 0x300 Global $MAIN, $EDIT $MAIN = GUICreate("Example") $EDIT = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",5,5,390,390,0x00200000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MAIN) GUIRegisterMsg(0x0111,"WM_COMMAND") While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case -3 Exit EndSwitch Sleep(10) WEnd Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd,$Msg,$wParam,$lParam) If $hWnd = $MAIN Then If _WinAPI_HiWord($wParam) = $EN_CHANGE And _WINAPI_LoWord($wParam) = $EDIT Then TrayTip("NOTIFY","Something was changed in EditBox",1) EndIf EndIf EndFunc Edited March 23, 2011 by Andreik When the words fail... music speaks.
