#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Fout = "roderondje.gif"


GUICreate ( "QueueIt" , 650 , 400 ) 

$TITLE2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 15, 40, 100, 20)
$groen = GUICtrlCreatePic ( "roderondje.gif" , 500, 150, 20, 20)
$s_Result = 0
$q = 0
$Y = 0
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $s_Result = GUICtrlRead($TITLE2)
    $z = $Y
    $Y = StringLen($s_Result)
    
    if $z <> $Y then
    $q = 0
       For $x = 1 to StringLen($s_Result)
    $i = StringMid($s_Result,$x,1)
    $a = Asc ($i)
    
    If $s_Result = " " Then
        GUICtrlSetImage($groen,  "roderondje.gif")

    
    elseIf $a == 34 Then
        GUICtrlSetImage($groen,  "roderondje.gif")
        $q = 1
    
    elseif $a <> 34 and $q <> 1 then
        GUICtrlSetImage($groen,  "groenrondje.gif")

    endif
    next
    endif
Wend

But it doesn't work

maybe you could do alot of explaining so we could understand what you are trying to do....

so far this is kind of a mess

I'm trying to create an input which checks if the input value is correct.

There are some characters than can't be written in the input. So if one of those characters is written there is picture that must turn red

And when the text in the input doesn't have any of the forbidden characters it must be green

But when it is empty it has to be red because it can't be empty.

Hope this makes it more clear.

$TITLE2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 15, 40, 100, 20)
$StatusPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("roderondje.gif", 500, 150, 20, 20)
Dim $s_Result
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $s_Result = GUICtrlRead($TITLE2)
    If StringLen($s_Result) <> 0 Then;  $s_Result is niet leeg
        If StringInStr($s_Result, '"') Then;    Aanhalingsteken gevonden
            GUICtrlSetImage($StatusPic, "roderondje.gif")
        Else;   Geen aanhalingsteken gevonden
            GUICtrlSetImage($StatusPic, "groenrondje.gif")
        EndIf
    Else;   $s_Result is leeg
        GUICtrlSetImage($StatusPic, "roderondje.gif")
    EndIf
WEnd

'If $s_Result = " " Then' checks if it = " "(it has a space)

'If $s_Result = "" Then' checks if it = ""(empty)
