Eambo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Everyone, Apologies if the answer already exists - I had a search but wasn't able to find anything quite on this. I've got a GUI form all set up with a loop to catch the enter key - all working fine so far. Problem is the loop continues to monitor even when the GUI is not focused - is there a way to set this to only happen when the GUI is actively clicked? While 1 sleep(100) If _IsPressed("0D") Then $nMsg = $Button1 EndIf I guess something like "If GUI=Focus" - but I can't find anything that does that - any suggestions? Thanks everyone!

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2014 Eambo,Look at GUISetAccelerators in the Help file - very similar to HotKeys but only active when the GUI is active.

Eambo Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thank you both for your advice! I ended up going with PlayHD's suggestion (as the simpler, although possibly uglier, method) - I ended up using: While 1 sleep(100) If WinActive("Name of This Window") and _IsPressed("0D") Then $nMsg = $Button1 EndIf Appreciate the help though, there's a lot of features of AutoIt I forget about, and WinActive was one of them! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
