Block Commas from GUI Add Edit

[Nosyarg]

I have a blank field in a GUI that asks for a location.

This entry is being exported to a CSV so it can not contain commas... though standard City/State combinations are normally typed with a comma separating them.

Is there any way to inhibit a comma from being entered into that one text field? I've tried inhibiting commas via hotkey command, but that broke the ability to write the CSV properly.

Thanks!

Code: Select all

;FIELD - LOCATION - DIRECT ENTRY
Gui, Font, cwhite
Gui, Add, Text, , LOCATION:
Gui, Font, cblack
Gui , Add, Edit, limit14 w350 vLOCATION, %LOCATION%

You can use gSubroutine that gets called each time the edit control's contents change. Then look for a comma and react:

Code: Select all

;FIELD - LOCATION - DIRECT ENTRY
Gui, Font, cwhite
Gui, Add, Text, , LOCATION:
Gui, Font, cblack
Gui , Add, Edit, limit14 w350 vLOCATION gNoComma, %LOCATION%
Gui, Show

NoComma:
	Gui, Submit, NoHide
	GuiControlGet, Location
	if InStr(Location, ",")
	{
		MsgBox COMMA is not allowed.
		GuiControl,, Location, % RegExReplace(Location, ",")
		Send, ^{End}
	}
return
