assign hotkeys to GUI buttons


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

Phenom,

A HotKey will (in almost all circumstances) interrupt whatever the script is doing to run the code associated with it.

How a GUI control reacts depends on the mode you use:

- OnEvent mode: The control acts like a HotKey and interrupts the current function: :mellow:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Interrupt", 10, 10, 80, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($hButton, "_On_Interrupt")

GUISetState()

_Long_Function() ; Start a long function

; Enter an infinite loop
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Long_Function()
    $iBegin = TimerInit()
    While TimerDiff($iBegin) < 100000
        ConsoleWrite(@SEC & @CRLF)
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func _On_Interrupt()
    MsgBox(0, "Hi", "Interrupted")
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
    Exit
EndFunc

- GetMessage mode: Control clicks are queued and you cannot break into a running function easily. :party:

Does that answer your question? :P

He might mean Guictrlsetaccelerators....

; A simple custom messagebox that uses the MessageLoop mode

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Custom Msgbox", 210, 80)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please click a button!", 10, 10)
$YesID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Yes", 10, 50, 50, 20)
$NoID = GUICtrlCreateButton("No", 80, 50, 50, 20)
$ExitID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 150, 50, 50, 20)

; Set accelerators for Ctrl+y and Ctrl+n
Dim $AccelKeys[2][2]=[["^y", $YesID], ["^n", $NoID]]
GUISetAccelerators($AccelKeys)

GUISetState()  ; display the GUI

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $YesID
            MsgBox(0, "You clicked on", "Yes")
        Case $msg = $NoID
            MsgBox(0, "You clicked on", "No")
        Case $msg = $ExitID
            MsgBox(0, "You clicked on", "Exit")
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            MsgBox(0, "You clicked on", "Close")
    EndSelect
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $ExitID

Hi developers! Tell me, please, why the next small change example, Button does not work and how to make it work? Functions usually start with buttons. I would be very grateful!

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Interrupt", 10, 10, 80, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($hButton, "_On_Interrupt")

$hButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Interrupt2", 100, 10, 80, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($hButton2, "_Long_Function")

GUISetState()

; Enter an infinite loop

While 1
Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Long_Function()
$iBegin = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($iBegin) < 100000
     ConsoleWrite(@SEC & @CRLF)
     Sleep(1000)
WEnd
EndFunc


Func _On_Interrupt()
MsgBox(0, "Hi", "Interrupted")
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
Exit
EndFunc

AndreyS,

The Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki will explain all. :)

But do ask again if you still have problems. ;)

Thank you! This is exactly what I'd had! :)

Not an easy decision, of course, but probably the best in the language Autoit.

Tell me more, please, how to recognize / catch pressing the close button (the event $ GUI_EVENT_CLOSE) using the GUIRegisterMsg ($WM_COMMAND, "_WM_COMMAND")?

AndreyS,

how to recognize / catch pressing the close button (the event $ GUI_EVENT_CLOSE) using the GUIRegisterMsg

To do that you use the WM_SYCOMMAND message like this: ;)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUISetState()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "_WM_SYSCOMMAND")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _WM_SYSCOMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    Switch $wParam
        Case 0xF060
            MsgBox(0, "Hi", "[X] pressed")
            Exit
    EndSwitch

EndFunc

All clear? :)
