GuiCtrlCreateInput focus (typing) and enable radio button

[ttleser]

In the sample script below, I want to be able to have the $Radio_SearchEntireDrive radio button always disabled. However, I want to setup the script so that once someone begins typing in the $ComputerName input that the EntireDrive radio button gets enabled. Of course I want it disabled if the user deleted anything in the $ComputerName input.

The below script works, but only if I click off the $ComputerName field, which isn't what I'm looking. Anyone have any thoughts?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
GUICreate("test",400,300)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("UserName",10,10,110,20)
$UserName = GUICtrlCreateInput("",130,10,100,20)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("ComputerName",10,50,110,20)
$ComputerName = GUICtrlCreateInput("",130,50,100,20)
$Radio_SearchProfileOnly = GUICtrlCreateRadio("User Profile Only?",250,10,100,20)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1,$GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKSIZE)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_CHECKED)
$Radio_SearchEntireDrive = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Entire Drive?",250,50,100,20)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
Sleep(50)
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
  Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
  Case $msg = $ComputerName
   GuiCtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive,$GUI_ENABLE)
EndSelect
WEnd

ttleser,

Best way is to look for changes to the input content and then en/disable the radio like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>


GUICreate("test", 400, 300)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("UserName", 10, 10, 110, 20)
$UserName = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 130, 10, 100, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("ComputerName", 10, 50, 110, 20)
$ComputerName = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 130, 50, 100, 20)
$Radio_SearchProfileOnly = GUICtrlCreateRadio("User Profile Only?", 250, 10, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKSIZE)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
$Radio_SearchEntireDrive = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Entire Drive?", 250, 50, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "_WM_COMMAND")

While 1
    ; Sleep(50) ; Not needed as there is a GUIGetMsg in the loop
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $ComputerName
            GUICtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive, $GUI_ENABLE)
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func _WM_COMMAND($hWHnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    ; If it was an update message from the correct input
    If _WinAPI_HiWord($wParam) = $EN_CHANGE And _WinAPI_LoWord($wParam) = $ComputerName Then
        If GUICtrlRead($ComputerName) = "" Then
            GUICtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive, $GUI_DISABLE)
        Else
            GUICtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive, $GUI_ENABLE)
        EndIf
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_WM_COMMAND

If you are not used to GUIRegisterMsg, then I recommend the GUIRegisterMsg tutorial in the Wiki.

Give this Code a try, works fine.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
GUICreate("test",400,300)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("UserName",10,10,110,20)
$UserName = GUICtrlCreateInput("",130,10,100,20)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("ComputerName",10,50,110,20)
$ComputerName = GUICtrlCreateInput("",130,50,100,20)
$Radio_SearchProfileOnly = GUICtrlCreateRadio("User Profile Only?",250,10,100,20)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1,$GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKSIZE)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_CHECKED)
$Radio_SearchEntireDrive = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Entire Drive?",250,50,100,20)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
   Sleep(50)
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Select
   Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
   Case $msg = $ComputerName
  
   EndSelect
   If GUICtrlRead($ComputerName) = "" then
   If GUICtrlGetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive) <> 144 Then
   GuiCtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive,$GUI_DISABLE)
   EndIf
   Else
   If GUICtrlGetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive) <> 80 Then
   GuiCtrlSetState($Radio_SearchEntireDrive,$GUI_ENABLE)
   EndIf
   EndIf
   ;MsgBox(0,0,GUICtrlRead($ComputerName,1))
WEnd
