onLostFocus with input box

[the123punch]

Hi,

I am building a GUI interface for a user creation application to create a user in several different databases.

I have 2 questions:

1) Is there a way to catch the OnLostFocus() event of an input box (text box) in the GUI, so that an action is performed right after?

2) What I want to do after the onLostFocus() event of the input box is to search in the Active Directory and look if we have that user already created in AD. Is there a code reference which I could look at to know how it is done for the Active Directory handling?

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me on that one very soon.

Thanks.

You can use the notification $EN_KILLFOCUS

Example:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hGui = GUICreate("Test GUI", 300, 200)

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 50, 50, 200, 20)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")

GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    
    Local $IdFrom = BitAnd($wParam, 0x0000FFFF)
    Local $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16)
    
    Switch $IdFrom
        Case $hInput
            Switch $iCode
                Case $EN_KILLFOCUS
                    ConsoleWrite("!> Lost focus" & @LF)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

martin, thank you for taking the time to answer. I referred myself to this link but wasn't quite sure how and where to start.

rasim, thanks a lot for your code snippet. It is really helpful and working perfectly.

I am wondering if there is also a onTextChange Event for an inputBox or do I have to build it manually??

Thanks.

You'll want to use EN_CHANGE or EN_UPDATE.
