Reading inputted data

[wolf40 0]

Hello, This is a great program and Forum.

I am looking for a way to detect the last digit of a 6 digit number when it is inputted into a field in a program I am using. This will be a trigger to start a subprogram. Any Ideas? Thanks.

Here's a script that waits for you to type "quit" into the Start > Run box...

While 1
   sleep(100);prevent maxing out the CPU
   If ControlGetText("Run","","Edit1") = "quit" Then
      MsgBox(4096,"Done","You typed 'quit' into the Run dialog!")
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
WEnd

Try the AutoIt Window Spy to check if you can detect the text in the field. ControlGetText does not work with all types of controls
