This is a simple question. I'm creating a GUI that contains several variables. They're all numbers. Is there a way to cause the Enter key to act as a Tab, so the cursor will move to the next field?

Thanks

A really basic solution is to use the default button to send a tab keystroke. The following example seems to work okay:
Code:
gui, add, edit
gui, add, edit
gui, add, edit
gui, add, checkbox,, Sample checkbox
gui, add, DropDownList
gui, add, slider
gui, add, button, default, Next
gui, show
return

ButtonNext:
Send {tab}
return

GuiClose:
ExitApp


Alternatively, if this script will run only on Windows NT/2k/XP or later, the following script in which ~Enter is a hotkey also seems to work:
Code:
gui, add, edit
gui, add, edit
gui, add, edit
gui, add, checkbox,, Sample checkbox
gui, add, DropDownList
gui, add, slider
gui, add, button,, &OK
gui, show
return

ButtonOK:
GuiClose:
ExitApp

~Enter::
Gui +LastFound
IfWinNotActive
   return
GuiControlGet, FocusedControl, Focus
if FocusedControl <> Button2
   Send {tab}
return

That first one works. But is there a way to hide the 'Next' button?

Thanks

Never mind. I added
Code:
GuiControl, Hide, Next
below the button.

Thanks
