Hi, I'm not sure why my code suddenly breakage as previously this function was okay. But I do the re-test I found that my password field saved the input with added 3 for each character input. Example the input saved supposed "12345678901234567890" but it become "1323334353637383930313233343536373839303". This is my code; $input_password = GUICtrlCreateInput($a_password, 175, 165, 150, 18, $ES_PASSWORD) GUICtrlSetLimit($input_password,-1, 20) Local $hPW = GUICtrlGetHandle($input_password) Local $hToolTip2 = _GUIToolTip_Create(0) ; default style tooltip _GUIToolTip_AddTool($hToolTip2, 0, 'Maximum 20 characters only.' , $hPW) Have anyone know what had happen?

I'm trying to assign a faint text in the background to an input field that disappears after the input has started. This should have a certain color such as gray.

NEW VERSION: 17 Jun 2013 Ever wondered how to avoid input being so painful? You can type a lot of errors in a GUICtrlCreateInput, for example alphanumeric where you want only numbers and decimals, typing 10 characters where you only want 9, etc. Input masks can make your life easier and Validation can be as simple as this: GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Input Decimal(8,2)", 10, 110, 200, 15) $MyInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("",210,110,110,20) _Inputmask_add($MyInput, $iIM_INTEGER, 0, "", 8, 2) It requires only one additional line per input The UDFexample script demonstrates 13 dynamic input validations. A lot more validations can be made. Up to you to be inventive. _inputmask 1.0.0.5.zip Enhanced: Better input control - The previous versions worked well with blank fields but editing non-blank inputs was really a pain. Now the cursor remains where the edit is occurring. Once the max width is reached, no additional characters can be added. - Added beep on invalid entry. In fact I use soundplay instead of beep because beep gives a cracking sound result on my laptop. You can set beep off (put Global $bBeep = False anywhere in your script) If you prefer a true beep, you can beep it on in line 150. Minor issue: - decimal Numbers after the '.' scroll away when inserting until it bumps to the max allowed decimals. I didn't fix that yet, I don't know how to solve this ... Examples: Example 1 _inputmask - example.au3 (see zip file) Example 2: _Inputmask combining two WM_COMMAND handlers (see zip file) Thanks to Melba23 for his explanation how to combine GUIRegisterMsg WM_COMMAND handlers) If you create your own input mask that could be useful for the AutoIt community, please let me know, I will be glad to add it to the above example.

I am having difficulties getting updated results from GUICtrlCreateInput. I wrote a small script to demonstrate what I am trying to do. This script reads a text file into an array and displays the Name and Number from the text file. The user can check a name and change the number, and the results are displayed in _ArrayDisplay. Only the Checked names are displayed in their original position. This is necessary for future plumbing. The problem with this script is the original number is returned, not the changed number. I cannot figure out how to get the updated number to be displayed. ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ; ; This script reads a text file into an array and displays the Name and Number from the text file. ; The user can check a name and change the number, and the results are displayed in _ArrayDisplay. ; Only the Checked names are displayed in their original position.

Global $l = GUICtrlCreateInput("3", 16, 48, 25, 22, $ES_NUMBER) Global $p = GUICtrlCreateInput("3", 56, 48, 25, 22, $ES_NUMBER) $go = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 136, 48, 83, 25) Global $m = GUICtrlCreateInput("1", 96, 48, 25, 22, $ES_NUMBER) Case $go $l = Number(GUICtrlRead($l)) $p = Number(GUICtrlRead($p)) $m = Number(GUICtrlRead($m)) Then I say consolewrite: ConsoleWrite(" l: " & $l & " p: " & $p & " m: " & $m & @LF); And first time when I hit Start ($go) button it gives me default numbers and works fine l: 3 p: 3 m: 1 But then I hit Start again and no need to change the numbers in input it gives me: l: 68 p: 68 m: 0 Then I hit again Start and this is result: l: 0 p: 0 m: 0 from this moment it is all the time 0 (zero) so what could be this?

Hi all, I have the following snippet of code that sort of works but isn’t doing exactly what I want. expand popup #include <GuiConstants.au3> Global $gGUIWidth = 250 Global $gGUIHeight = 150 Initial() Func Initial()    ; Create the initial GUI    $BaseGUI = GUICreate("", $gGUIWidth, $gGUIHeight, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST + $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $BaseGUI)    ; Create a field for entering the current value    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Current Value:",  10, 10)    $CurrentValueFld = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 215, 20, $ES_NUMBER)    GUICtrlSetState($CurrentValueFld, $GUI_FOCUS)    ; Create Calculate button    Local $CalculateButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Calculate", 10, 70, 75, 25)    GUICtrlSetState($CalculateButton, $GUI_DISABLE)    ; Watch the value field and determine if the value is greater than 0 and if so, enable Calculate button    $i = 0    Do       $CurrentValue = GUICtrlRead($CurrentValueFld)       If $CurrentValue > 0 Then          GUICtrlSetState($CalculateButton, $GUI_ENABLE + $GUI_FOCUS)          $i = 1       EndIf    until $i = 1    ;Loop until the user exits and check for ESC, "X", or Begin button    While 1       $InitialGUIMsg = GUIGetMsg()       If $InitialGUIMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then          Exit       EndIf    WEnd EndFunc I want to be able to: Start with focus in the value field (it is doing this now) Allow for more than one digit to be entered into the field (it is sort of doing this now but I have to bring focus back to the field) Enable the Calculate button and give focus to it once a value is entered into the value field (it is doing this now) but keep the cursor in the value field so the more digits can be entered (it is not doing this now) Be able to hit ESC or “X” to close the dialog at any time (this only works after I enter a digit in the value field Basically, I want to be able to allow the user to enter one or more digits and hit ENTER or SPACE (while the cursor is still in the value field) to push the Calculate button. I assume I need to bring focus to the button but maybe I don't and can get away with assigning hotkeys for ENTER and SPACE to push the Calculate button while keeping focus in the value field. If you could, please add comments in your code as to what the changes are doing if they aren't obvious to a noobish programmer. Thanks for any help you can offer on this.

As the title states, is there a way to detect which inputbox is "selected" like: if IsSelectedForWritingEtc($MyInputBox) then xxxx i was searching some without success, all my results were like how to read or and write to a inputbox. /T

I'm creating a small MsgBox-style GUI window for a login, and I'm giving my $Username input box the default text "DOMAIN\Username". When I run it, the default text is highlighted as expected, but it'd be nicer if I could highlight only the username portion. I realize I could use multiple input fields, but I'd rather not. I'm currently accomplishing this by: GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Send("{END}+{LEFT 8}")and that technically works, but I was wondering if there was a "right" way to do this.

So I have tested a bit of code that allows me to store login and password information and use it later on to login. See Code below Func LoginInfo() Local $User, $Password Local $btn, $msg Global $Usr, $Pwd GUICreate(" User Name and Password for ESQ", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1) $User = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20) $Password = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 300, 20,0x0020) $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20) GUISetState() $msg = 0 While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $btn ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd $Usr = GUICtrlRead($User) $Pwd = GUICtrlRead($Password) ;MsgBox(4096, "User and Password", GUICtrlRead($User)) ;MsgBox(0,"Password",GUICtrlRead($Password)) EndFunc LoginInfo() #include <IE.au3> MsgBox(4096, "User and Password", $Usr) MsgBox(0,"Password",$Pwd) $URL = "https://google.com" $IE = _IECreate($URL, 0, 0, 0) $HWND = _IEPropertyGet($IE, "hwnd") WinSetState($HWND,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE) _IEAction($IE, "visible") _IELoadWait($IE) Sleep(1000) Sleep(1000) MouseClick("Left",-685,274) Send($Usr) Sleep(1000) MouseClick("Left",-685,296) Send($Pwd) Sleep(500) Send(@CR) Once I use this working code in my larger program it fails. It won't store the login and password information, nor will it wait for rest of the program until the login information is entered. What am I doing wrong?
