How to control keys in a gui?

[maikelmeyers]

Hi,

can anyone tell me how to control keys in a gui? For example: if I press ESC the gui closes. How can I avoid this? Second example: If a combobox is in focus, how is it possible to do some action when ENTER is pressed. Is it possible to get a message? In the moment if I press ENTER it activates another checkbox which has not the focus. I don't find any functions related to keyboard except hotkeyset, but this is not usable because then you can not run multiple instances of that script.

thanks, first question solved

but I think I found a bug. Please have a look at the following example code. First click on the combobox and press ENTER. A message box will be displayed telling you the current focus. It is "Edit1". That is ok. Now press on the button. A message box informs you that the button was pressed. Then the button turns green. NOW, click the combobox and press ENTER again. Now both Items seems to be pressed, although the combobox has the focus. Why?

CODE

#Include <Misc.au3>

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiButton.au3>

$gui_window_main = GUICreate ("Test",500,500,100,100,$WS_SYSMENU)

$gui_button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("test button",0,0,200,200)

$gui_combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "test combo",0,250,200,200)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

while 1

if(_IsPressed("0D")) then

MsgBox(1,"",ControlGetFocus ($gui_window_main))

endif

$msg = GUIGetMsg(1)

if($msg[0] = 0) then

ContinueLoop

endif

if ($msg[1] = $gui_window_main) then

if ($msg[0] = $gui_button) then

MsgBox(1,"","button pressed")

GUICtrlSetBkColor ( $gui_button, 0x88ff88 )

elseif $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE then

guidelete()

endif

endif

wend

This does not happen when GUICtrlSetBkColor is not used

use GUISetAccelerators to set a dummy control to ENTER. Then, in the Case / Func of the dummy you can make custom Handling for ENTER key on your gui
