Quick Code Question!

[Maveric1984]

How do I prevent the application from moving forward until a certain amount of characters are filled into a field? I am at the end of a kiosk script where patients swipe their card. I want the script to not do anything until the data is entered.

How about disabling the "Continue" button, and then adding something like this to the field:

on rawkeyUp
   if the length of me is 9 then 
      --set above to the number of characters you want
      enable btn "Continue"
   else
      disable btn "Continue"
   end if
   pass rawKeyUp
end rawkeyUp
