I am sort embarassed becuase I cannot remember this, I had this working at one time, but cannot find the snippet that I need now. Embarassed


Basically, while the curser is in an Edit field in a GUI, I would simply like to hit 'enter' to make it launch the associated button, rather than making the user click button_x.

I haven't had a need for this in a while, and can't seem to bring up the right kind of search terms. I know its painfully simple but just adding a gLable to the edit field doesnt work, as it runs the subroutine once user enters -any- data. Obvisouly we would want them to finish typing first befroe launching the sub.

Like this?

Code:
Enter::
IfWinActive, (*Your wintitle*)
{
GuiControlGet, focused_control, FocusV
If (%focused_control% = *EDITBOX NAME*)
{
   Goto, Enter
}
}
IfWinNotActive, (*Your wintitle*)
{
   Send, {Enter Up}
        Keywait, {Enter}
        Send, {Enter Down}
   }
Return
