GuiCtrlCreateInput ?

[Country73]

Created a small GUI that has two input fields, for numeric input, created using GuiCtrlCreateInput + $ES_NUMBER.

Set the size limit using GuiCtrlSetLimit

Focused on the first input field by using $GUI_FOCUS

Question:

Once the first input field has reached it's limit, is there a control to automatically focus on the second input field?

Example:

Two input fields used to enter a specific time. First input = HOUR, Second input = MINUTE

If you wanted to use 1130, then once you enter 11 in first input field I want the focus to automatically switch to second input field for 30.

Any suggestions/assistance?

Thanks,

(This is for a manual entry by the end user)

could you do a character count on the input then use an if character count = # then statement? I can't think of the character count command off the top of my head though.

Is it the: _GUICtrlEdit_LineLength ?

I'm trying that out now.

If that doesn't work then just do:

StringLen(GUICtrlRead($input))

Thanks JFee, thats the one I was thinking of.

Boy, I need to stop looking for the difficult way in doing these things!

Thank you JFee & youknowwho4eva

Was able to work it out with this type of setup (In case anyone is interested):

Function called as soon as the GUI is launched.

First call to the function sends "HOUR"

Second call to the function sends "MIN"

Func runloop( $time )

   IF $time = "HOUR" Then
      $vTime = $SD_Hour            ;$SD_Hour is the first input field for the HOUR
      $nextStep = $SD_Min          ;$SD_Min is the second input field for MINUTE
   ElseIf $time = "MIN" Then
      $vTime = $SD_Min
      $nextStep = $CTSet            ;$CTSet is the SET button in the ChangeTime GUI
   EndIf

   DO
      $timeVar = StringLen( GUICtrlRead( $vTime ) )
   Until $timeVar = 2

   GUICtrlSetState( $nextStep, $GUI_FOCUS )

EndFunc
