| A user types something in an edit box? Is that possible? And another thing, how can I search a string for a specific letter? Sorry, I haven't used VDS in a few months and have forgotten much. |

You should be able to use the @focus() function to see what edit box
has focus and then have it enable a button.
You can use the @pos() to find the first occurance of a string (or letter) in
a string.

You should just be able to add a timer and check it every # of sec.
Something like this:
| Code: |
wait event,1
%e = @event()
goto %e
:Timer
if @equal(@focus(),Edit1)
Dialog enable,Button1
end
goto evloop

You could also just use if @dlgtext(Edit1)
in the timer loop...
Cheers, Mac
