I'm getting stuck on scripting a simple form validation. grrrr ...
I have a group of fields to validate. First I used a message box to inform the user about an empty/required field and
after confirming the message the focus jumps into the field which was pointed out. But I'm tired of confirming the messages and
I tried upon PhiLho's advice to highlight the text beside the field but I get stuck.
Please take a look at the sample script (it's just an example) which might be more expressive than the attempt to describe it English.

I will try to descripe it:
The button "MsgBox" is the first script I used and Button "Colors" is my current problem: If there is an empty field (after pressing "Colors")
the text beside the control gets colored red, but all field with an entered value are appearing in the field "Result". I don't want to use "Return"
because the text beside every empty field should get a new color.

Code:
#Persistent
fsoTitle=Dispatch
; Generated using SmartGUI Creator 3.5.1
Gui, 2: -Theme +Border
    Gui, 2:Add, Text, x7 y18 w135 h19, List Queues whose:

Not sure I understand the question, but maybe this is a start for what you want?

Code:
2ButtonColors:
  EmptyFieldCheck = 0
  Gui, 2:Submit, NoHide
  Gui, 2:Font, cBlack
    if CtrlEdit1 =
      {
        EmptyFieldCheck = 1
        Gui , Font , cRed
        GuiControl, 2:Font, Lable1
      }
    else
      {
        fsoValue = Value 1: %CtrlEdit1%
      }
    if CtrlEdit2 =
      {
        EmptyFieldCheck = 1
        Gui , Font , cRed
        GuiControl, 2:Font, Lable2
      }
    else
      {
        fsoValue = %fsoValue%`nValue 2: %CtrlEdit2%
      }
    if CtrlEdit3 =
      {
        EmptyFieldCheck = 1
        Gui , Font , cRed
        GuiControl, 2:Font, Lable3
      }
    else
      {
        fsoValue = %fsoValue%`nValue 3: %CtrlEdit3%
      }
    if CtrlEdit4 =
      {
        EmptyFieldCheck = 1
        Gui , Font , cRed
        GuiControl, 2:Font, Lable4
      }
    else
      {
        fsoValue = %fsoValue%`nValue 4: %CtrlEdit4%
      }
         
         if EmptyFieldCheck != 1
           {
             GuiControl, 2:, CtrlEdit05, %fsoValue%
           }
Return

My English must be horrible!
But that's exactly what I want! Thanks! May I ask what != is doing there?

!= simply means "Not Equal", same as If EmptyFieldCheck <> 1 or IfNotEqual, EmptyFieldCheck, 1.

And nothing is really wrong with your English... I'm still a bit slow on reading through code posted by others Smile

Better slow in reading, than like me, in understanding. Searching for != didn't return any results and I had no words to search for.
Thanks a lot for the explanation, ... it will help in the future.

Those commands are all hidden away in the Variables and Expressions section, but the search function on the web page makes it a bit hard to search for them sometimes Confused

You're Welcome, and best of luck with the rest of the script Smile

A tip for using CHM help files like AutoHotkey's: If you click anywhere in the right half of the window, you can then press Control-F to do a "find in page". The same thing works in Internet Explorer.

True.

But first you have to find the page with the item you want
