Perform action when any text is entered into a GUI

[sjorrel]

I have an edit control in a AU3 script.

Whilst in the GUI loop it checks to see if any text exists in this edit control, and if it does, it performs a function.

Because the function is quite intensive it is causing odd behaviour with other programs ( this au3 script is designed to always run in the background ).

Is there an alternative way to get my script to carry out a function whenever text is entered into the edit control? (without using an additional button which is acitivated when enter is pressed).

Can you post a small script reproducing your behavior so I can help you more?

Use this HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "Enter")

Func Enter()

$msg = $EnterButton

EndFunc
