Gui Control - loose focus

[HockeyFan]

Hi,

Is it possible to perform a function when focus is lost from a GUI control? If so, is there a particular command to use? I've looked through the Help section but I don't see anything that references losing focus.

Thanks in advance!

Look in helpfile about GuiCtrlSetState and state $GUI_NOFOCUS, maybe is what you want.

Or you can use AdlibEnable to check if focus was lost.

Example:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)

$button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 160, 75, 23)

$button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 210, 160, 75, 23)

GUICtrlSetState($button1, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUISetState()

AdlibEnable("_GetFocused")

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

AdlibDisable()

Func _GetFocused()
    If ControlGetHandle($hGUI, "", ControlGetFocus($hGUI)) = GUICtrlGetHandle($button2) Then
        ConsoleWrite("->Cancel button is focused" & @LF)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Rasim,

Thanks for your help. I've altered your script to more closely match what I'm trying to accomplish.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
 
     $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)
     
 $button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 160, 75, 23)
     
 $button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 210, 160, 75, 23)
     
 GUICtrlSetState($button1, $GUI_FOCUS)
     
 GUISetState()
     
 AdlibEnable("_LooseFocus")
     
     Do
     Until GUIGetMsg() = -3
     
     AdlibDisable()
     
     Func _LooseFocus()
         If ControlGetHandle($hGUI, "", ControlGetFocus($hGUI)) <> GUICtrlGetHandle($button1) Then
             ConsoleWrite("->OK button has lost focus " & @SEC & @LF)
   EndIf

Question: What does the "-3" from GUIGetMsg() = -3 represent?

Again, thanks for your help!

-3 is the value of $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE which is the event when you click on the close icon..
