as long as anything typed in inputbox -> enable other without pressing (Enter...)

[Spenhouet]

Hi AutoIT Forum.

I posted this in another Thread with another approach.

But the tendency was unhelpful.

Now then once again.

I have some inputboxes...

I want that, as long as anything typed in the first inputbox the second is enabled without pressing Enter/Ok..

Thx

Nice thread tags.

Also, you're not making much (enough) sense. At least to me.

Can you give us some more in depth information on how the event should occur?

Edit: it would also help if you posted the GUI code you already have.

@ApudAngelorum: The GUI code is a bit long....

Yes, of course i can give you more in depth information.

as an example:

2 x Inputbox

The first is enabled and the second is disabled.

Normaly if i typ anything in the first inputbox (and told that the second inputbox shoud enable if string lengh is longer then 1 for example) the second won't enable until i pressed Enter or somthing like that. (and the other way around (clear the inputbox))

My wish is that the second inputbox automaticaly gets enabled and disabled if somthing is typed in the firs inputbox or not.

(Aktion by input.. or somthing like that).

Try this.

I forgot where I got it but you can find a better WM_COMMAND function if you google it.
