Input Box (help)


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I've tried looking through the forum and couldn't find the answer. Its really basic but can you set a minimun number of characters to a inputbox? I know you can set a maximun ie

$value = InputBox("Testing", "Enter the 1 or 2 character code.", "", " M2")

any help at all would be appreciated.

Regards

Mark

you are right, as far as I can tell

try this . . .

$bLoop = 1
    While $bLoop = 1
        $Value = InputBox("Test", "Type Atleast three characters and press 'ok'")
        If @error = 1 Then
            $bLoop = 0
        Else
            If StringLen($Value) < 3 Then
                MsgBox(4096, "What were you thinkin?", " . . . I refuse, try again!")
            Else
                $bLoop = 0
            EndIf
        EndIf
    WEnd

Between my senility and my typing - you should win most of the time :-)

I was working on handling cancel if a range of characters was used and the OP was not able to use StringLen($value) = 5. I came up with pretty much what you did:

While 1
    $value = InputBox("Testing", "Enter the 3 to 5 character code.", "", " M5")
    If @error = 1 Or StringLen($value) > 2 Then
        ExitLoop
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Must be 3 to 5 characters.")
    EndIf
WEnd
