how to make inputbox mandatory

[Hypertrophy]

how to i make the user type something. like they can't hit ok if there is nothing in the input?

When ok is pressed you read the contents of the inputbox and you only do something if it's not empty...You can check the helpfile about reading contents

Now, if you want the ok to be disabled until something is in the inputbox you probably have to poll the inputbox every so on to see if there's something in, or there must be some message being sent when you type which you have to capture..

there's a simpler way to do this. i dont understand this in the helpfile and i think its the key:

The second and subsequent characters of the password field can be used to restrict input. Use a space to fill the first character to still see the characters typed. Putting an M after the first character indicates that input is Mandatory; i.e. you must enter something. Nothing will happen if you press the Ok button when there is nothing in the InputBox. It will not close and return the string.

$input = InputBox("Pls tupe anything...","...to the inputbox",""," M")

I thought you meant the GUI inputbox -> GUICtrlCreateInput

I never use InputBox()

$input = InputBox("Pls tupe anything...","...to the inputbox",""," M")

Yes,Thanks.
