Password compare routine


Recommended Posts

I've looked and looked and can't find anything about this or a way to do it.

All I want is to be able to compare two GUI input boxes and when they match have an ICON displayed at the end of the confirm box showing that they do indeed match. All my ideas on how to do it fail miserably.

Is this something that's possible with AutoIT? I've seen it done with vbscript and an hta gui but I can't find anything on how to do it with AutoIT.

gorbisloth,

So what code have you tried that has not worked? ;)

Shouldn't be too complicated to do with AutoIt. What have you coded so far?

Tip:

Take a look at GUICtrlRead()

This is just the GUI I was using to test this with. It's going to be part of a larger script if I can get it to work. My biggest problem is trying to figure out how to keep this compare routine continuous. I'd like for the icon to change real time as the user types. When the user types in the password in input1 the icon at the end of input2 indicates they don't match. Once the user confirms the password the icon changes. I'd also like it if it would go back to the stop.ico if they change the password fields at some point.

I've tried some if then statements to compare the values, and even some loops, do while and the like.

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$PWStatus = "stop.ico"
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:UserswhalmichDesktopScriptsKodaFormsPWConfirm.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 440, -1, -1)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 232, 176, 177, 21, 0x0020)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password", 96, 176, 50, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 232, 224, 177, 21, 0x0020)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Confirm Password", 96, 224, 88, 17)
$Icon1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon($PWStatus, -1, 432, 224, 25, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

Here is something to play with:

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$PWStatus = "stop.ico"
#region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:UserswhalmichDesktopScriptsKodaFormsPWConfirm.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 440, -1, -1)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 232, 176, 177, 21, 0x0020)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password", 96, 176, 50, 17)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 232, 224, 177, 21, 0x0020)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Confirm Password", 96, 224, 88, 17)
$Icon1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon($PWStatus, -1, 432, 224, 25, 25)
$hBtnCompare = GUICtrlCreateButton("Compare", 420, 224, 55, 21)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hBtnCompare
            If GUICtrlRead($Input1) <> GUICtrlRead($Input2) Then MsgBox(16, "Passwort Comapre", "Passwords are not equal!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanks for the suggestion Water but I was hoping for something that didn't require any interaction from the user. An on the fly comparison if you will.

I think I might have to just go with the error checking when they click the OK box.

Should be possible. But how will you know that the user has finished to enter the 2nd password?

Ideally when they both match. That's the thing I can't figure out how to do this as the user types their password and not after they click Ok to go on.

I wouldn't do an automatic compare. Imagine the user wants to type password "12345" into field 1 but misses the last number so the input field contains "1234". When he types "1234" into field 2 your script would assume that the passwords are identical and starts processing.

So the user needs to click a button, leave the input field or press enter to let the script know that he finished to enter the password.

Here is my whole script. It's intended for imaging Win7 machines. It will display a dialog window to input the computer name, which is prepopulated with the serial number of the pc, then a username and password of a user with domain add privileges. It will then make sure that all the fields have values then it will compare the passwords fields to insure they are identical. After that it kicks off the ghost imaging then once that's done it will update the sysprep file on the freshly imaged machine and restarts. The diskpart button well it wipes the hard drive so don't click on that. This is intended to be run from WinPE.

Now it works perfectly just like this but I wanted the password checking to be real time. It would not kick off any action until the user clicks Ok.

IIRC it is possible to know when the input mark is set into a field and when it is removed. Unfortunately I can't find some example code at the moment.

Will post as soon as I find something.
