Short answer: with the mouse!

Longer answer: store the ControlID of the control and then check if GUIGetMsg() returns it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

; Create GUI
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 480, 20)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 100, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0,"Result", "You pressed the button!")
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

This is really basic stuff.......

You could do what Melba23 said or you can have it much simpler

Inputbox("Title","Prompt")
If @error = 1 Then Exit ; You press cancel

If you want the information from the inputbox to be used for something else:

$var = Inputbox("Title","Prompt")
If @error = 1 Then Exit ; You press cancel
If MsgBox(4,"Title,"Message " & $var) = 7 Then Exit

There is a lot of possible uses for that I just used MsgBox as an example!

Hope it helps

I'm sorry. What I meant was the OK button in InputBox(...)

[lordicast]

This is basic, When you open a InputBox the OK button is already focused on so all you have to do is Send('{Enter}')

Yeah, and that's why I made this thread. I've been trying that and it's not working.

[GEOSoft]

Take a look at ControlClick() in the help file.

Do you mean to say you have an InpuBox() statement in the script and you want the same script to click the OK button?

(It always helps to show a code snippet showing your issue)

That's what it reads like to me and "mine is not to reason why... ".

[CodyBarrett]

Input box pauses the script.... run a secondary script to press Ok and that should do it

Yes. But after reading what CodyBarret read I think his suggestion is a solution.

Yes. But after reading what CodyBarret read I think his suggestion is a solution.

I don't know what CodeyBarret suggested but this should work.

#include <timers.au3>
$g = GUICreate("dummy window")
$t1 = _Timer_SetTimer($g,100,"checkip")
$ans = InputBox("title01","prompt","")


func checkip($a,$b,$c,$d)
    if winexists("title01") Then
        _Timer_KillTimer($g,$t1)
        msgbox(262144,"Input Box detected","OK button on Input Box will be pressed")
        controlclick("title01","","Button1")
    EndIf
EndFunc

[Hypertrophy]

ahh perfect! thank you martin.

[Jos]

Yes. But after reading what CodyBarret read I think his suggestion is a solution.

The question remain why you would want to have the script open an InputBox() and then have the script close it again?

If you want to wait for a particular time for an answer and then timeout, you could use the proper parameter for that in the InputBox() statement.

Well when the InputBox() opens I set it's default value to ClipGet(). So I wanted to automate it where it would press ok which would then write to a file.
