Validating user input

[confutatis]

Hello to all...

A newbie here who is building a GUI to help my users with repetitive tasks by using the SEND capability of AutoIT...

The user is first presented with a login screen. The user must enter a user name, a system password and another application password (we call it Varnet)...Now I want to make sure that the user enters something in each variable...How would I go about doing this...?

Here's a snippet of code from the script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <string.au3>
;
; Create the main GUI windows here, then switch to the login window
;
$ess_login=GuiCreate("Enprotech Steel Services, LLC.", 392, 263,(@DesktopWidth-392)/2, (@DesktopHeight-263)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$ess_main_menu=GuiCreate("Enprotech Steel Services, LLC.", 640, 480,(@DesktopWidth-640)/2, (@DesktopHeight-480)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

GUISwitch($ess_login)
GUISetState()

$v_user_label = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Varnet username: ", 10, 30, 110, 20, $SS_RIGHT)
$s_password_label = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("System password: ", 10, 80, 110, 20, $SS_RIGHT)
$v_password_label = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Varnet password: ", 10, 130, 110, 20, $SS_RIGHT)

$input_vuser = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 130, 30, 58, 20, $ES_LOWERCASE)
GuiCtrlSetState($input_vuser, $GUI_FOCUS);start with cursor in this textbox
$input_spass = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 130, 80, 120, 20, $ES_PASSWORD)
$input_vpass = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 130, 130, 120, 20, $ES_PASSWORD)
GUICtrlSetLimit($input_vuser,3)


$ok_button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("OK", 30, 200, 120, 40)
    GuiCtrlSetState($ok_button, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)
$cancel_button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 240, 200, 120, 40)

while 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    
    Select
        
    case $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE or $msg=$cancel_button
        Exit
        
    case $msg=$ok_button
        $vuser=GUICtrlRead($input_vuser)
        $spass=GUICtrlRead($input_spass)
        $vpass=GUICtrlRead($input_vpass)
    ;$spass=_StringEncrypt(1,$spass,"ess4259")
    ;$vpass=_StringEncrypt(1,$vpass,"ess4259")
    ;$user_record=GUICtrlRead($vuser) & ":" & $spass & ":" & $vpass
    ;$user_file=_TempFile()
    ;_FileCreate($user_file)
    ;FileWrite($user_file,$user_record)
        exitloop
    EndSelect
WEnd

Thanks for all your help,

David

Problem with the first script is that it exits the program if the user hasn't done the right thing...I need to have the user "re-enter" the data so he can go on to the main menu section (which was not included with my code)...
