Pressing enter on edit box

[DW1]

I would like for a user to be able to click on an edit, type something, and press enter to "do" the action instead of having to click a button

How would I do this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("", 162, 96, -1, -1)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Type hello then hit enter!", 8, 8, 145, 21)
$Send = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Send", 32, 40, 89, 41, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Input
            If GuiCtrlRead($Input) = "Hello" Then
                MsgBox(4096, "Hello!", "You pressed the enter key!")
            EndIf
        Case $Send
            If GuiCtrlRead($Input) = "Hello" Then
                MsgBox(4096, "Hello!", "You pressed the send key!")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That's a better example.

That doesn't work, I don't have to press enter. I can just click on the edit.

Any way to make sure that only ENTER triggers the event?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("", 161, 37, -1, -1)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Type hello then hit enter!", 8, 8, 145, 21)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Input
            If GuiCtrlRead($Input) = "Hello" Then
                MsgBox(4096, "Hello!", "You pressed the enter key!")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Modified NeoTroniX's example. Is this more like what you want?

[DW1]

This is more what I needed:

DUH!! to me, I found this in the FAQ sticky

HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "catchguikey")
;
;REST OF CODE HERE
;
;
Func catchguikey()
    Local $opt = Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
    If WinGetHandle("active") = $DB Then
        If @HotKeyPressed = "{ENTER}" Then
            ;Do something here
           _IENavigate($oIE, GUICtrlRead( $manualaddy ), 0)
        EndIf
    Else
        HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed)
        Send(@HotKeyPressed)
        HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed, "catchguikey")
    EndIf
    Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", $opt)
EndFunc

Thanks for the help though guys

Isn't my way easier? Oh well, it works.

[DW1]

sort of, your way will be triggered on a mouse click to the edit box as well as pressing enter, where as the one I used is ONLY for pressing enter

Also I changed the code a bit so that the proper window and the proper control must be selected.
