Inputbox max number of chars

[slint]

If i have a inputbox that i would like to lock so that you only could enter 5 chars how can i accomplish that.

I found something that might be right at

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/InputBox.htm

InputBox ("Enter New Computername.", "", "*")

but i have been testing and testing and i can still enter to many chars.

whats wrong??

strEntry = ""
While Len(strEntry) <> 5
strEntry = InputBox("Enter a 5 digit string")

you may have to use hta, and set a a text box with a length of 5. i'm not sure you can do it in vbs. ebgreen's idea may work, but it just loops and gives you another inputbox if you don't enter 5 digits.

slint,
just a shot in the dark, but have you tried using the InternetExplorer.Application Object? write out a small html window with a text box, which you will specify the size, and have it call a VBScript function on click to get the input.
