kor Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I would like the text highlighted if a user types an incorrect password. This way, they can simply begin typing a new password without having to press backspace to clear the input field. Here is my code. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $domain = "test.local" GUICreate(" Enter Credentials", 203, 100, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, -1, $WS_CAPTION) ; , $WS_CAPTION GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter your Active Directory credentials", 8, 4, -1, 25) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 8, 28, 64, 20) ; username label ; left, top, width, height $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 70, 25, 125, 20) ; username input GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 9, 52, 64, 20) ; password label $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 70, 49, 125, 20, $ES_PASSWORD) $ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("&OK", -1, 75, 60, 20) GUICtrlSetState($ok, 512) ; allows enter inside input boxes GUISetState() $msg = 0 While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE $msg = GUIGetMsg() Local $user = GUICtrlRead($input1) Local $pass = StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($input2), "ad\", "") ;removes leading ad\ Select Case $msg = $ok ; this code will attempt to map a drive using credentials provided above ; if drive map is successfull it is assumed the username and password combo are good and continues If $user <> "" And $pass <> "" Then $strQueryDom = "netdom query /domain:" & $domain & " /userD:" & $user & " /passwordD:" & $pass & " dc" $strQueryDomResult = RunWait(@Comspec & " /C" & $strQueryDom,'',@SW_HIDE) If $strQueryDomResult <> 0 Then MsgBox (16, "Error", "Password is incorrect") GUICtrlSetState($pass, 256) Else $Status = 1 ExitLoop EndIf Else Select Case $user = "" And $pass = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Username cannot be blank") Case $pass = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Password cannot be blank") GUICtrlSetState($pass, 256) Case $user = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Username cannot be blank") GUICtrlSetState($user, 256) EndSelect EndIf ;Case Else ; Sleep(2000) EndSelect WEnd

kor Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Awesome, I took the gui code from another example on the forum. After looking it looks like the persons code sets the gui flag as a value (256) in this instance. I wasn't sure what that did exactly.
GEOSoft Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 256 is the value of $GUI_FOCUS George Question about decompiling code?

kor Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 is there anywhere in the help file that compares the different flags to their value? I couldn't find anything that ties the two together.
GEOSoft Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 The Constants values are in the constants files in your Program Files\AutoIt3\Include folder. In this case it is in the GUIConstantsEx.au3 file.

kor Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Any suggestions to my code? Because I am already setting value 256 which is gui focus on the password input if the password in incorrect. However the GUI is not highlighting the password, it's only just going back to the box with the cursor at the end of the password. I am trying to get it to return back to the password box with the entire password highlighted, so if a user begins typing it replaces the current password.
Bowmore Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 You were making the common mistake of using the value of the control rather than the control IDs $input2 and $input2 when setting the focus to the control. I've also added a line to set the contents of the password control to "" when the value is incorrect to save the user having to clear it themselves. It is little things like that that make a GUI a pleasure to use or just plain annoying. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $domain = "test.local" GUICreate(" Enter Credentials", 203, 100, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, -1, $WS_CAPTION) ; , $WS_CAPTION GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter your Active Directory credentials", 8, 4, -1, 25) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 8, 28, 64, 20) ; username label ; left, top, width, height $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 70, 25, 125, 20) ; username input GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password:", 9, 52, 64, 20) ; password label $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 70, 49, 125, 20, $ES_PASSWORD) $ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("&OK", -1, 75, 60, 20) GUICtrlSetState($ok, 512) ; allows enter inside input boxes GUISetState() $msg = 0 While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE $msg = GUIGetMsg() Local $user = GUICtrlRead($input1) Local $pass = StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($input2), "ad\", "") ;removes leading ad\ Select Case $msg = $ok ; this code will attempt to map a drive using credentials provided above ; if drive map is successfull it is assumed the username and password combo are good and continues If $user <> "" And $pass <> "" Then $strQueryDom = "netdom query /domain:" & $domain & " /userD:" & $user & " /passwordD:" & $pass & " dc" $strQueryDomResult = RunWait(@Comspec & " /C" & $strQueryDom,'',@SW_HIDE) If $strQueryDomResult <> 0 Then MsgBox (16, "Error", "Password is incorrect") GUICtrlSetData($input2, "") ;<<<<<<<<========= Clear the invlaid password ready for the user to retry GUICtrlSetState($input2, 256) ;<<<<<<<<======= Set focus to the password box Else $Status = 1 ExitLoop EndIf Else Select Case $user = "" And $pass = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Username cannot be blank") GUICtrlSetState($input1, 256) ;<<<<<<<<======= Set focus to the user box Case $pass = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Password cannot be blank") ;<<<<<<<<======= Set focus to the password box GUICtrlSetState($input2, 256) Case $user = "" MsgBox(16, "Error", "Username cannot be blank") ;<<<<<<<<======= Set focus to the user box GUICtrlSetState($input1, 256) EndSelect EndIf ;Case Else ; Sleep(2000) EndSelect WEnd "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots.
