Please Confirm Escape Key Behaviour

[czardas]

Click the Disable button and then press the escape key on your keyboard.

Does the program exit?

If not, click on another window and then back on the GUI. Then press Escape a second time.

Does the program exit?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

_FocusExample_1()

Func _FocusExample_1()
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Focus Example", 200, 80)
    $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Disable",5,5, 70,20)
    $hLabelFocus = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Press escape" & @LF & "key to quit", 10, 30, 70, 30)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $msg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $hButton
                GUICtrlSetState($hButton, $GUI_DISABLE)
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc

The answers I get on XP pro SP3 are NO and YES in that order. Do you get the same result?

Thanks again:.

Hi czardas,

unfortunately your example _FocusExample_2 doesn't work here.

Press disable and ESC: Script exits.

Press disable, set focus to another window and back to the script, press ESC: Script exits

water, do you mean Example 2 doesn't always quit when you hit escape? Please check I didn't accidently paste the wrong code. The forum boxes are all messed up. I had better delete my post if this is the case. I want it to exit every time you hit the escape key.

Oops, I just reread what you posted. It seems to be the way I intended. A slight misunderstanding.

Press disable and ESC: Script exits.

Press disable, set focus to another window and back to the script, press ESC: Script exits

Good, thanks for the feedback.

Oops, misunderstood the goal of your script. You always want it to exit. I thought it was the other way round.

Ignore my post

I added an extra comment because what I wrote wasn't all that clear. Boy these code boxes are really hard work at the moment. Just one spelling mistake can take more than a minute to fix because all the indents are removed from your code every time you try and edit somehing. Arghh`

[AZJIO]

because all the indents are removed

Switch to text mode (button above B (Bold)). In this mode, the indents are not removed.

Thanks AZJIO for the tip. I'll definately try that next time.
