read WHOLE string ie number

[buzz44 1]

im making a simple script that will convert the RGB to Hex and visversa in a GUI format ... and a little coloured label will chnage so that u know wat colour it is ..

because RGB is a value 1-255 i dont want the values to be less than "0" or greater than "255" which i have done... the problem is the blue code below ... it recognises not the whole string . but the first 2 digits or sumthing .. eg... if i type the number 174 in it works fine ... but say if i type the number in 26 it immediatly jumps the number to 255 .. alos if i put "026" instead of "26" it works .. but as soon as i click the "updown" thing is jumps to 255 again .. is there andway i can correct this so that is reads 255 as a whole not as 25..

thx

edit: didnt realise i could have colour inside code tags =(

You should compare numerical values, not strings.

If Number(GUICtrlRead ($Input_Red)) > 255 Then
      GUICtrlSetData ($Input_Red, "255")

e.t.c.

But even better to get rid all code between ";;;;;HERE IS MY PROBLEM___________________________ " and just use limits for Updown control:

$updown_Red = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input_Red)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 255, 0)
$updown_Blue = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input_Blue)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 255, 0)
$updown_Green = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($Input_Green)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 255, 0)

Edit: second example valid, but you still can enter any value by hand... so this not for your case.

cool Thx ... you 2nd eg ... thats why i didnt use that method lol .. but i still could and use GUICtrlRead($Input_red) to check if it is over 255 .. thx

edit: u can type in a number over 255 but asoon as u click up or down it sets it back to 255 so its ok.

You could also stringformat(var1=%3d,$input_red) to force everything into a 3 digit number that is zero padded.
