GuiCtrlCreateInput automatically hit Enter

[hiimjoey11]

I currently have an inputbox that only accepts numbers and only accepts 4 characters.  When they are finished typing in those numbers, you hit enter and it will call a function.  How can i make it so it automatically calls my function after they type 4 numbers into that box (instead of requiring an ENTER push)?

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("test")
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 16, 136, 28, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_CENTER, $ES_NUMBER))
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input1, 4, 4)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$ButtonDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
Dim $EnterArray[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $ButtonDummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($EnterArray)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $ButtonDummy
            Enter()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func Enter()
    MsgBox(0,"","Enter pressed")
EndFunc

Local $Flag = True ; declare a flag

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("test")
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 16, 136, 28, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_CENTER, $ES_NUMBER))
GUICtrlSetLimit($Input1, 4, 4)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$ButtonDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
Local $EnterArray[1][2] = [["{ENTER}", $ButtonDummy]] ; Dim is deprecated
GUISetAccelerators($EnterArray)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $ButtonDummy
            Enter()
    EndSwitch
    If StringLen(GUICtrlRead($Input1)) = 4 And $Flag Then ; check if the value and the flag
        $Flag = False
        GUICtrlSendToDummy($ButtonDummy) ; send enter
    ElseIf StringLen(GUICtrlRead($Input1)) <= 3 And Not $Flag Then ; if not clear the flag
        $Flag = True
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Enter()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Enter pressed")
EndFunc   ;==>Enter

I prefer WM_COMMAND but for a new autoit user that was an easy way
