_GUIInputSetOnlyNumbers() UDF

[MrCreatoR]

Hi all!

As many of you already know, $ES_NUMBER can not entirely prevent "non number characters" to be inserted to the input control (here is my report about this issue), and this why i needed to make an UDF that will help to solve this issue.

Here the example of usage:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <GUIInputSetOnlyNumbers.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("_GUIInputSetOnlyNumbers() Demo", 400, 100)

$Input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 20, 10, 360, 20)
_GuiInputSetOnlyNumbers($Input_1)

$Input_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 20, 40, 360, 20)
_GuiInputSetOnlyNumbers($Input_2)


$Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 20, 70, 60, 20)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $Exit
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The UDF itself + this example attached in this archive:

Edit 1:

GUIInputSetOnlyNumbers.zip

* Fixed the tooltip text data (thanks to JustinReno).

Edit 2:

GUIInputSetOnlyNumbers.zip

* Now unacceptable characters wil not be shown at all (EN_CHANGE replaced with EN_UPDATE - thanks to Siao).

* Now the tooltip displayed more correctly (the edges of the parent window is now "taken in count").

* The ToolTip now will be shown always (even if the edges of input control are outside of screen borders).

Enjoy!

Works out nicely, a good script to have around.

Off-Topic: Just wondering, under what situation can non-numeric characters be entered?

Edit: Changed period to question mark.

Thanks.

under what situation can non-numeric characters be entered?

1) Ctrl + V

2) Shift + Insert

3) Right mouse click on the input -> Paste

Just wanted to ask (those hos windows is natively on english) - what are the real text in the warning tooltip when you use $ES_NUMBER? (the title and the text)...

Thanks.

Unacceptable Character:

You can only type a number here.

Thanks, first post updated! (only an attachment).

I would use EN_UPDATE instead of EN_CHANGE, so that illegal characters wouldn't appear at all.
