Input - If input > 3 then

[Spenhouet]

Hi AutoIT Forum

Sorry for my bad english writing... i hope you can understand it anyway.

I have an Input field and want other input fields to be disabled as long as the user typed 3 things in the first input field.

(normaly it waits for ENTER)

I had tried this:

AdlibRegister ( "inputaktivornot" , 500)

Func inputaktivornot($outlook_name)
 
   $OutName = GUICtrlRead($outlook_name)
   If StringLen($OutName) >= 3 Then
   enableimap()
   Else
   disableimap()
   EndIf
 
EndFunc

That works... but not realy fine. Some input field flickers...

Thanks

Why do you use AdLibRegister to check for input in a GUI? Either use Message-Loop or OnEvent mode.

Sounds good. But how can i do this and how do it work?

First you need to post the full script. There must be some GUI creating part.

Reading the link I posted is helpful too.

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Formular", 467, 700, 233, 127)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Eingabemaske für die Kontodaten.", 27, 24, 211, 24)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "Arial Narrow")

Thats the beginning of my GUI. I think the whole GUI is to long.

Thanks for the link. I found this: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/guiref/GUIRef_MessageLoopMode.htm

But i still don't know how to do this.

Can you tell me what i have to do?

Open the link you posted and you will find a complete example with GUICtreate etc.

Can you please describe what you plan to do with your script? "Kontodaten" (aka "account details") looks like you try to process sensible data.

[Spenhouet]

You are right. I'm trying to process account details, but less sensible (Creating an E-Mail Acc for a Programm on my PC.)

I was going through the link.... but didn't understand what i can do with it... :/

In the help file you will find a complete and ready to run example for every GUI function. See how they worka nd modify them to your needs.

Example: GUICtrlCreateInput

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $file, $btn, $msg

    GUICreate(" My GUI input acceptfile", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES
    $file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
    GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 300, 20) ; will not accept drag&drop files
    $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20)

    GUISetState()

    $msg = 0
    While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $btn
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect
    WEnd

    MsgBox(4096, "drag drop file", GUICtrlRead($file))
EndFunc   ;==>Example

***** = That's quite immaterial.

I wan't the i_server and the i_benutzername input (normal disabled) to be enabled until 3 characters where typed in without pressing Enter/Ok... ect. and automatically disabled when 2 or less characters where typed in.
