GUICtrlCreateInput - maximum/minimum n° of digits

[gianfun]

I would like to know if it is possible to set a minimum/maximum number of digits/numbers when typing into a input box?

if i put

GUICreate("Test",200,200)

GUICtrlCreateInput("",100,100)

and i want it to be from 6-8 digits.

is there a way?

thanks

Maybe...

GUICtrlSetLimit ( controlID, max [, min] )

Hope it helps,

Yep - Bert give you the solution fo it ... but you should be aware that: (from Help)

Parameters

controlID: The control identifier (controlID) as returned by a GUICtrlCreate... function.

max: For List controls it is the extent you can scroll horizontally in pixels.

For Input/Edit controls it is the max number of characters that can be entered.

min: [optional] For Slider and UpDown controls you can specify a min value.

.. you can use that "min" only for Slider and UpDown controls and not for Inputboxes (only max limit works there) Edited July 11, 2007 by enaiman

what a pity, i wanted it to be an exact number of digits long:(

but the

GUICtrlSetLimit ( controlID, max [, min] )

is good enough.

thanks Bert and enaiman

You could test the input??

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

$gui = GUICreate("Test",200,200)
$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("",10,10, 180)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Test Input", 70, 35, 60)
GUICtrlSetLimit ($input, 8, 6)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg ()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $button 
            _TestInput (GUICtrlRead($input))
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func _TestInput ($input)
    $len = StringLen ($input)
    If $len > 5 and $len < 9 Then
        Msgbox (0, "String OK", "")
    EndIf
EndFunc
