[Solved] Input box focus question

[wyzzard]

I'm working on a GUI to get inventory codes to order and I have something that works okay but you have to hit the TAB key to move from box to box. Since all the boxes have to have numbers it would be nice if they could hit the ENTER key on the NUMPAD and it would go to next box as well.

Here's the GUI snippet of what I have so far -

expandcollapse popup

#include <String.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

$frmOrder = GUICreate("Items Needed", 460, 450, -1, -1)
GUISetFont(12, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$butIssue = GUICtrlCreateButton("Issue", 70, 370, 80, 50)
$butXFER = GUICtrlCreateButton("Transfer", 190, 370, 80, 50)
$butCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 310, 370, 80, 50)
$lblJob = GUICtrlCreateLabel("   Job #", 55, 35, 100, 28)
$lblPSID = GUICtrlCreateLabel("  PSID", 180, 35, 100, 28)
$lblQty = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" Quantity", 305, 35, 100, 28)
$chkRush = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("", 195, 315, 17, 28)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
$lblRush = GUICtrlCreateLabel("RUSH", 215, 318, 75, 28)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xeb0f0f) ; Red

Local $arrInputBox [5] [4]
Local $arrLineLabel [5]
Global $intActiveSet = 0

For $intSet = 0 To 4
$arrLineLabel [$intSet] =GUICtrlCreateLabel($intSet + 1, 25, 65 + (50 * $intSet), 15, 28)
For $intPart = 0 to 2
$arrInputBox [$intSet] [$intPart] = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 55 + (125 * $intPart), 65 + (50 * $intSet), 100, 28, $ES_NUMBER)
If $intSet > 0 Then
GUICtrlSetState($arrInputBox [$intSet] [$intPart], $GUI_DISABLE)
EndIf
Next
Next

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")

Func WM_COMMAND($hWinHandle, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
If _WinAPI_HiWord($wParam) = $EN_CHANGE Then
If $intActiveSet > 0 Then
If (GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [0]) = "" And GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [1]) = "" And GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [2]) = "") And (GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet-1] [0]) = "" Or GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [1]) = "" Or GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [2]) = "") Then
For $intStep = 0 To 2
GUICtrlSetState($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [$intStep],$GUI_DISABLE)
Next
$intActiveSet -= 1
EndIf
EndIf
If (GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [0]) <> "" And GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [1]) <> "" And GUICtrlRead($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [2]) <> "") Then
If $intActiveSet < 4 Then
$intActiveSet += 1
For $intStep = 0 To 2
GUICtrlSetState($arrInputBox [$intActiveSet] [$intStep],$GUI_ENABLE)
Next
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND

While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Terminate()
Case $butCancel
Terminate()
EndSwitch
WEnd

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>Terminate

I found the WM_COMMAND function on the forum here to help me figure out part of what I was doing to prevent the next row of boxes being enabled until the top is filled in but haven't quite figured out how to capture the ENTER key input to make it move the focus to the next control.

Any suggestions?

wyzzard,

how to capture the ENTER key input to make it move the focus to the next control

You should find the answer in this post. Please ask if you have any questions.

That's exactly what I needed.

Thanks

I've found lots of useful tidbits when I do searches in the forum but I still have trouble actually finding what I really was looking for. Haven't quite figured out what the best search terms to use yet for a given need.

One more quick question -

How do I edit the topic heading so I can put [sOLVED] in it? I've seen other topics where this is done but haven't found a way to edit it myself unless I'm missing the obvious.This will let others looking for something similar know that an answer is contained within.

Thanks again for the help

wyzzard,

Neither have I - but I do have a good memory and a lot of my own posts to use as a basis for searching.

How do I edit the topic heading so I can put [sOLVED] in it?

I take it a "+solved +title +add" search did not work for you?

Edit the first post of the thread and select the "Use Full Editor" option - then you can edit the title as well.

I didn't actually search about the [solved] question because I thought I had read somewhere that you couldn't change it until you had some unknown number of posts made...

and since the default posting interface did everything I was needing to do I never thought to click on the option

probably would help more if I wasn't perusing these forums in the wee hours of the morning here most of the time when I'm not fully awake

Thanks again
