Show Tooltip on wrong Input

Recommended Posts

Hi,

what i want is to create a form with an edit field. If the edit field lost the focus the content is checked for valid input. If there's no valid input (currently) a msgbox is displayed. But what i really want, is to display a tooltip at the edit field. Of course i know the Tooltip()-Function. But if the Form is moved, the Tooltip doesn't. So i played around with the _GUITooltip.. UDFs but i i can't figure out how it works correctly. Any help is appreciated!

TIA

rooteam,

Try this...

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Cancel_ButtonClick")

$hCustomerID_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Customer ID:", 10, 109, 110, 17, $SS_RIGHT)
$hCustomerID_Edit = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 125, 106, 180, 21)
$hCustomerName_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Customer:", 10, 140, 110, 17, $SS_RIGHT)
$hCustomerName_Edit = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 125, 137, 180, 21)

rooteam,

This is better technique.  Per the Help file, time inside a registered function should be limited.  Note the dummy controls actioned by the WM_COMMAND routine.  Edits done by this routine are for valid input only.  Other edits should be done in a separate routine ( see _CustomerName_Edit2() ).

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <editconstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$hForm = GUICreate("Example", 411, 200, 302, 218, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE))
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Cancel_ButtonClick")

$hCustomerID_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Customer ID:", 10, 109, 110, 17, $SS_RIGHT)
$hCustomerID_Edit = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 125, 106, 180, 21)
$hCustomerName_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Customer:", 10, 140, 110, 17, $SS_RIGHT)
$hCustomerName_Edit = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 125, 137, 180, 21)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,'_CustomerName_Edit2'
$hCancel_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 320, 15, 75, 25)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Cancel_ButtonClick")

; added these two dummy controls which will be actioned by $EN_CHANGE as the user types
; This let's you get out of the registered function as quickly as possible as per the Help Doc

$hDummyCustomerID_Edit = guictrlcreatedummy()

kylomas,

you're right! That's better! BTW, i noticed a little error in _CustomerID_Edit(). The error occurs, if the user set the cursor inside an existing CustomerID-String and tries to enter a non-numeric character. I changed the function to this:

func _CustomerID_Edit()

    ; adapted from code by Smoke_N
    $sText = _GUICtrlEdit_GetText($hCustomerID_Edit)
    if $sText = '' then return                          ; added in case the first char typed is invalid which caused loop due to $EN_CHANGE
    If Not StringRegExp($sText, "(?i)^[0-9]+\z") Then
    $avSelected = _GUICtrlEdit_GetSel($hCustomerID_Edit)
    _GUICtrlEdit_SetText($hCustomerID_Edit, StringRegExpReplace($sText,"[^0-9]",""))                        ; new

        ; removed      _GUICtrlEdit_SetText($hCustomerID_Edit, StringTrimRight($sText, 1))
        ; removed      _GUICtrlEdit_SetSel($hCustomerID_Edit, StringLen($sText), StringLen($sText))

    _GUICtrlEdit_SetSel($hCustomerID_Edit, $avSelected[0]-1, $avSelected[0]-1)                              ; new
        _GUICtrlEdit_ShowBalloonTip($hCustomerID_Edit, "Error", "You can only use characters 0-9", $TTI_ERROR)
    EndIf

endfunc

Thanks again
