strate Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have a simple gui, just a window and a input box. I have a loop that reads the input for a special character "*". When it receives the character it exits the loop. Func _ScanGUI() GUICreate ("Scan Bar-code from Audit Tag:", 320, 30, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 100, -1, 0x0) $2D_SCAN_INPUT = GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 10, 5, 300, 20) ;~ GUICtrlSetState (-1, $GUI_HIDE) GUISetState() BlockInput(0) _Log('Scan GUI created waiting for user input.') While 1 ; Wait for user action Sleep(2) $msg = GUIGetMsg () $s_ScannerRead = GUICtrlRead($2D_SCAN_INPUT) Select Case StringRight($s_ScannerRead, 1) = "*" GUIDelete () _Log('Proper barcode suffix received.') ExitLoop Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _Log('User exited the program, clicked "X".') MsgBox(48, "Notice", "You have choose to exit.") WinSetState("18.14", "", @SW_SHOW) IniDelete($ini_File,'Time Stamp') Exit Case StringInStr($s_ScannerRead, "'") ; Scanned Wrong Bar-code MsgBox(48, "Notice", "You must scan the proper bar-code to continue.") _Log('User scanned wrong barcode: ' & $s_ScannerRead & '.') ControlSetText("Scan Bar-code from Audit Tag:",'',$2D_SCAN_INPUT,'') ContinueLoop EndSelect Wend BlockInput(1) Return $s_ScannerRead EndFunc The problem is it runs kinda slow, and i don't want the user to be able to remove focus from the input with accidental clicks else where. Are there any other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do? A scan gun is used in the process. A barcode that could be read resembles 123456?6545?5000* INI TreeViewA bus station is where a bus stops, a train station is where a train stops. Onmy desk I have a work station...

GaryFrost Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Might try GUIRegisterMsg I've done that with GuiCtrlInput before, should do what you want.
