Problem with HotKeySet

[Khryus]

Hi there, I need help on realizing this script. I am making kind of like a command-line program, and I wanted users to be able to 'send' a command by typing it into an InputBox and then pressing enter instead of pressing a button.

I thought of this:

HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "readInput")

Func readInput()
Switch GUICtrlGetState($COMMANDLINE) ;$COMMANDLINE is the InputBox
Case $GUI_FOCUS
ConsoleWrite("Submitted while commandline is focused"&@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Temporarily storing the command in a variable."&@CRLF)
$command=GUICtrlRead($COMMANDLINE)
Case Else
ConsoleWrite("Commandline isn't focused"&@CRLF)
EndSwitch
EndFunc

But HotKeySet kind of like, prevents the key being used from being used. For instance, if I were to use the key Q on HotKeySet, I wouldn't be able to type it, but it would call the function. How can I make it so that I can still type it? Or is there a better way to do this?

How about a runnable reproducer?

EDIT:

It matters you see.

if you have a button to perform the task, and it is the default button

then the enter key will act as though the button were presses.

Hi,

Yes, take a look here :

Here you go :

#include "HotKey.au3"

_HotKeyAssign(0x0D, "readInput", BitOR($HK_FLAG_NOBLOCKHOTKEY, $HK_FLAG_NOREPEAT, $HK_FLAG_NOOVERLAPCALL))

@firefox, thanks, it works, except that the function is _HotKey_Assign. Thanks again
