Editbox: limit 1st char input to start with alphabet only Topic is solved

[ivill]

Hi, all, is it possible to make an EditBox limit first character input to start with alphabet letter only? if not A-Z, then clear the input field.

ABCDEFG ;true
A1BCDEF ;true
1 ;false & clear input field

Hello,

Code: Select all

gui, add, edit, w300 gedit vedit
gui show
return 
edit:
	gui, submit, nohide
	if !(edit ~= "^[a-zA-Z]")
		guicontrol,, edit
return

Unfortunately, it seems to fail if you type, eg, two numbers very quick. Maybe it can get you in the right direction. Cheers.

Thanks! @Helgef if !(edit ~= "^[a-zA-Z]") even shorter but useful than expected
