Quick One! $msg = {enter} Press Button

[litlmike]

I have a GUI. Whenever the user presses enter, I want it to press/click my "Done" button. No matter where the user is focused. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

while 1
if _ispressed ("0D") then controlclick ("your window", "your text", "your button", "left", 1)
wend

this is the whole magic

you'll need the beta

you can use the button style called $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON.

well, you could start a function when you're pressing enter

;1.
hotkeyset("{enter}", "start")

while 1
sleep (100)
wend

func start()
msgbox (0, "Start", "Function started")
endfunc

;or 2.
while 1
if _ispressed ("0D") then start()
wend

func start()
msgbox (0, "Start", "Function started")
endfunc

both should work

you can edit the both that they only work if your window is active by:

if winactive("your window title", "") then; do whatever

You don't get an error with 2 func start()(s)?

actually you don't, but i just was too lazy to do 2 code-boxes that's why there is a ";or 2. " in there

Simple example using OnEvent, though GuiGetMsg could be used instead:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)

$GUI = GuiCreate("Example")
GuiSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "quit")
    $input = GuiCtrlCreateInput("input box", 10, 10, 200, 30)
    $button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Click Here", 10, 60, 100, 40)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($button, "simulateClick")
GuiSetState()

While 1
    sleep(100)
    
; Set Enter as hotkey only when our GUI is active
    If WinActive($GUI) Then
        HotKeySet("{Enter}", "simulateClick")
    Else
        HotKeySet("{Enter}")
    EndIf
WEnd

Func simulateClick()
    HotKeySet("{Enter}");good idea to unregister hotkey when MsgBox appears....
    MsgBox(0x1000, "Debug", "Button was 'clicked'")
    HotKeySet("{Enter}", "simulateClick")
EndFunc

Func quit()
    Exit
EndFunc
