Help with input fields


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi all...

I've been trying to find if it's possible to duplicate something that can be achieved with VBA. I have a bit of VBA code that asks the user for some information. One of the fields is a numeric field that asks for their phone number. As they start to type it in the field updates automatically to include "()" and "-". That is when the user starts typing in their number e.g (123) 555-6666, as soon as they hit 1, the input field updates to show the starting "(" for the area code. The same goes for the ")" after they type in "5" and so on. The field is a numeric only field so it will not accept "()" or "-". Is there a way to duplicate this in autoit script?

Here's a gui version of what your looking for.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GUICreate("MyGUI", 392, 323)
Dim $phone_num = ""

$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 50, 40, 230, 20, $ES_LEFT)
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input_1, 14)
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case Else
            _FormatPhoneNum($Input_1, $phone_num)
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

Func _FormatPhoneNum($h_input, ByRef $s_phone_num)
    Local $s_phone = GUICtrlRead($h_input), $char, $t_phone
    If $s_phone_num <> $s_phone Then
        If StringLen($s_phone) > 0 Then
            If StringMid($s_phone, 1, 1) <> "(" Then $s_phone = "(" & $s_phone
            If StringLen($s_phone) >= 2 And StringLen($s_phone) <= 4 Then
                _FixNum($s_phone, 2)
            ElseIf StringLen($s_phone) = 5 Then
                If StringMid($s_phone, 5, 1) <> ")" Then $s_phone = StringMid($s_phone, 1, 4) & ")" & StringMid($s_phone, 5)
            ElseIf StringLen($s_phone) >= 6 And StringLen($s_phone) <= 9 Then
                _FixNum($s_phone, 6)
            ElseIf StringLen($s_phone) >= 10 And StringLen($s_phone) <= 14 Then
                _FixNum($s_phone, 10)
                If StringMid($s_phone, 10, 1) <> "-" Then $s_phone = StringMid($s_phone, 1, 9) & "-" & StringMid($s_phone, 10)
            EndIf
            If StringLen($s_phone) >= 6 Then
                If StringMid($s_phone, 6, 1) <> " " Then $s_phone = StringMid($s_phone, 1, 5) & " " & StringMid($s_phone, 6)
            EndIf
            GUICtrlSetData($h_input, $s_phone)
            $s_phone_num = $s_phone
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>_FormatPhoneNum

Func _CheckForNum($s_char); see if value between 0 - 9 inclusive
    If Asc($s_char) >= 48 And Asc($s_char) <= 57 Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc  ;==>_CheckForNum

Func _FixNum(ByRef $s_phone, $Min); if not numbers then remove
    For $x = $Min To StringLen($s_phone)
        $char = StringMid($s_phone, $x, 1)
        If Not _CheckForNum($char) Then
            $t_phone = " " & StringMid($s_phone, $x + 1)
            $s_phone = StringMid($s_phone, 1, $x - 1) & $t_phone
        EndIf
    Next
    $s_phone = StringReplace($s_phone, " ", "")
EndFunc  ;==>_FixNum

didn't give you exactly what you were looking for, but gave an example of what needs to be done by creating the Event that calls _Exit()

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It works just fine. The only draw back is that the response is slow, but I guess there's nothing we can do about that. VBA is spot on no matter how fast you type in the number, where as autoit lags and doesn't format the string properly.

Thanks for all your help tho.
