Type info into INPUT box - then hit enter

[steve8tch]

I have got a feeling I am being really thick here..

I have a gui with an input box - eg "type PC name in here...blah..blah"

Whilst my fingers are on the keyboard - I would like to hit the 'ENTER' key to take some action. I have configured a button to do this - but it can't be in focus whilst I am typing in the input box.

I would quite like the input box in my GUI to act in a similar way to a 'Windows' input box - you can just hit 'ENTER' to action the input box - you do not need to click something with a mouse.

Can I configure the GUI to do this. ?

Thanks

Yeah, you need to set a button as "default". Use GUICtrlSetState with the $GUI_DEFBUTTON state. The button should then have a slightly darker highlight to show that when you press enter it will be the default.

Thanks - I had looked at the state table list for ages - and I suppose I didn't really know what was meant by "Control will be set as the default button on the window" - so I never tried it !! ...but now I know.

Many thanks.
