Comparison of 2 editboxes

[tech86]

Is there a way to compare what is typed in a editbox with another editbox like asking for a password then confirming it. It doesnt seem to compare the values of the 2 editboxes. If anyone could help that would be great.

nevermind I figured out how to get it to work.

Could you share how you got this to work? I am looking to do the same thing.

Hi,

Each "Edit" control has a property associated with it. To compare the text of two "Edit Box" controls compare the properties associated with the controls like this:

Code: Select all

PROPERTY1 = PROPERTY2

Thanks gigi, that is what I ended up doing. The only downside to this is that I don't get a dialog box telling the user that the passwords are not the same. I just added the condition to the existing NewDialog Published Event on the Next button.

Hi,

You can spawn a dialog to inform the user that the passwords not match and condition this dialog with:

Code: Select all

PROPERTY1 <> PROPERTY2

On how to spawn a dialog when a button is pressed select the button and add a published event like this:

Name: SpawnDialog
Argument: <NewDialog>
Condition: PROPERTY1 <> PROPERTY2

Also we have a tutorial on how to display a dialog conditionally:
