Detecting an Enter key in an input

[BALA]

I want to have something happen when an Enter key is pressed in an input. I tried having:

If _IsPressed("0D") Then ;whatever

But that would go off whenever the Enter key was pressed, regardless of if the user had the input selected. I guess what I need is something like GUICtrlRead, but will able able to detect keys pressed in it.

This should be in AutoIt1-2-3

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 200,100)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",5,5,190,21, BitOR($ES_WANTRETURN, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_AUTOHSCROLL))

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Read = GUICtrlRead($Input)
    If StringRight($Read,2) = @CRLF Then
        $Read = StringTrimRight($Read,2)
        GUICtrlSetData($Input,$Read)
        MsgBox(0, "Test data", $Read)
    EndIf
    IF GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
WEnd

Will this work with a combo?

[jvanegmond]

No, combo boxes will not accept an Enter. You will need a different way to check for this. I once did a listbox like that, I hotkeyed the Enter and checked if the control and the window were both active once enter was pressed, if it was not I would unhotkey that enter and Send it. This has a downside to it, if the active window does not accept simulated keys.

Did I miss your point (hope so) or is this what you want ?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("", 300, 50)
$nInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 280, 21)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
        Case $nInput
            WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", GUICtrlRead($nInput))
            
    EndSwitch
WEnd

...perhaps take a look here...

In that topic it's shown how to do it with a edit-control, while BALA here has a input-control.

Also my script above shows the way of doing it with a input-control, and there's seriously nothing advanced with it...

Just simple GUIGetMsg-usage.

I agree, this works for 99.999% of us.
