How do you make hitting ENTER in an input = pushing button

I'm looking for a way to make it so after a user types something in an input and hits the ENTER key it submits, triggers, pushes a button, or whatever else might have to happen to make it do what I need.

For example, in the following code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("MyProg", 400, 100)
$input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 40, 300, 25)
$btn_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 340, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $btn_1
            MsgBox(0, "Info", GUICtrlRead($input_1))
    EndSelect
WEnd

After the user types whatever, and hits the ENTER key expecting it to submit the info. I'd like them not to have to hit "OK"

I'm sure I've seen something about this before, but I can't seam to find it now.

You can try:

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

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("MyProg", 400, 100)
$input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 40, 300, 25)
$btn_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 340, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $btn_1
            HotKeySet("{ENTER}")
            MsgBox(0, "Info", GUICtrlRead($input_1))
            HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "_btnSubmit")
            
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func _btnSubmit()
    $msg = $btn_1
EndFunc

Of course, maybe isn't the best way.

Interesting...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
HotKeySet("{ENTER}","Submit")
GUICreate("MyProg", 400, 100)
$input_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 40, 300, 25)
$btn_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 340, 40)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $btn_1
            Submit()
    EndSelect
WEnd
Func Submit()
    If WinActive("MyProg") Then
        MsgBox(0, "Info", GUICtrlRead($input_1))
    ; Whatever else I want to do
    EndIf
EndFunc

I wasn't sure why you have all of the HotKeySet's within the case statement, but it seams to work well the way I have it here.

Thanks

Unregister the "ENTER" key while the Msgbox is displayed and that enable the ENTER key for close the Msgbox through the keyboard.

Anyways, you have a good way. B)

hello i have this for you! it a call to the kernel! i use it for a chat software! he does not capture the key like Hotkey()

it check for the last key pressed at the kernel level!

very simple

;the function who call the kernel it return 1 for TRUE and 0 for False

Func _IsPressed($hexKey)
    Local $aR, $bRv
    $hexKey = '0x' & $hexKey
    $aR = DllCall("user32", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)
    If $aR[0] <> 0 Then
        $bRv = 1
    Else
        $bRv = 0
    EndIf
    Return $bRv
EndFunc

If _IsPressed('0d') and winactive("MyWindows") Then do what you wanna

; the 0d = the ENTER 

;it tell if the last key press is ENTER and the windows active was my soft then gogogo
