How to count the GuiCtrlCreateInput?

[Stuempi]

Hi there,

another simple question from Mr. Simpleton (me ):

How can I count the characters that were input into my GuiCtrlCreateInput?

I tried some things with strings but all to no success... I want to count the characters and give a message box when the characters are below 5 and another one, wenn exactly five were added (because I set the maximum to 5 characters for the input field).

My code looks like this:

$input = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 125, 210, 50, 20, $ES_UPPERCASE )
GuiCtrlSetLimit($input, 5)

        $test = GuiCtrlRead($input)
        If  $test <= 5 Then
            MsgBox("", "Test", "Test")
        Else
            MsgBox("", "Test", "Test2")
        EndIf

But obviously (again ) my script isn't working as intended... any ideas?

test = StringLen(GuiCtrlRead($input))
