Is it possible to have AHK do something when a particular GUI control loses focus? For example, I want to update a field based on the contents of another field, but only after someone is done entering something in it (i.e they tab out of that control or click another control).

Im aware of g-subs and I dont want to have that second field to be updated AS the user is entering something in the first field.

Im sure this has been answered someplace, but my ambiguous searches didnt pull up much.

Thanks a ton.

Take a look at IfWinNotActive & several other ways to accomplish this task.

The controls are all on the same window.

So for example I have a window that has text box 1 and text box 2. If I enter some text into "textbox1" and hit tab or click into the "textbox2" control, I want textbox2 to automatically be updated with something.

I hope this makes more sense.

Have a look at this topic and see if any of the short scripts there can help you: GUI edit control.
