Is it possible counting inputbox chars?

[Command3r]

Hi, i wanted to make inputbox password, need to get it's chars length in it, because the "password char" is too secure

and i need the user to know if he is writing or not!!

here's my effort

Global $length, $Pw

$Pw = InputBox("Security", "Type password to Encrypt/Decrypt file." & @CRLF & "Notice: password case sensitive" & @CRLF & "Pw length: " & $length, "", "ٌ", 220, 150)

$length = StringLen($Pw)


MsgBox(0, "", $length)

i tried to put $length above $Pw but didn't work too.

thanks

I'm not quite following you, because your code works, I type in 5 characters and StringLen returns the value of 5.

just in msgbox

but in inputbox doesn't work if u notice here:

[autoit]

$Pw = InputBox("Security", "Type password to Encrypt/Decrypt file." & @CRLF & "Notice: password case sensitive" & @CRLF & "Pw length: " & ----->>> $length <<<-----, "", "ٌ", 220, 150)

I'm sorry but some BBCode appears to have made its way into your previous post.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for >>

i have read the future but that is not what im looking for, i just need a label in inputbox carrying the length of it

OK, it can't be done with the InputBox function, you'll have to create your own version using the GUI creation functions. Good luck.
