hitting enter clicks OK button

[sbrady]

I have a GUI with text on it and a button. I am making a glorified message box. I have a button on the GUI.
How do I make it so when you hit ENTER, its like clicking the OK button.

Gui, Add, Button, Default, OK

The example above includes the word Default in its Options to make "OK" the default button. The default button's action is automatically triggered whenever the user presses ENTER,

From the help file.

@noname, thank you
it works first time , but when I use the button TEST is the button TEST default (?)

Code: Select all

Gui,add,button,x10 y10 w50 h25 gA0         ,TEST
Gui,add,button,x10 y40 w50 h25 gA1 +default,OK
Gui,show,x10 y10 h90 w150,TEST-GUI
return

Guiclose:
exitapp

a0:
msgbox,You clicked TEST
return

$enter::
a1:
msgbox,You clicked OK / or used ENTER
return

If I hit TAB, the OK button below hightlights, then I hit ENTER and the GUI goes away.

Gui, Add, Button, gTestIt x30 y240 , OK
return

TestIt:
If (GetKeyState("ENTER"))
WinClose GUi window.ahk


How can I get the OK button to default to being hightlighted and close the GUI just by hitting ENTER.
Thanks.

Sorry sbrady , i do not have a solution for highlighting the focused button , i am surprised it does not seem to be possible.

You can use controlfocus to set the correct button focused ( enter will execute it ) but the highlighting stays with the previous one which is confusing for the user.

Greetings
If there is only one button it seems to work even when another control can be focused.

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button,  x30 y100 +default, OK 
Gui, add,edit,w200
Gui, show,,test
return

ButtonOk:
winclose
return

figured it out, so cool, double click the icon, a window pops open to tell you what files it can open,
hit ENTER and the window goes away and any aif or wav files get opened in Audacity.

Code: Select all

Gui, Show, h300 w300

Gui, Font, s18
Gui, Add, Text, h280 w280, This Script opens:`n"aif" and "wav" files`nin Audacity,`r`n`r`nthe files and this script must be located the same place.
Gui, Font, s12
;Gui, Add, Button, default x30 y240 , OK    ;x30  y250  w100 h20   gTestIt
Gui, Add, Button, gTestIt x30 y240 +default, Hit Enter     ;x30 y250 w100 h20
return
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;



TestIt:
If (GetKeyState("ENTER"))
{
;WinClose GUi window.ahk

clips = 

loop, %A_WorkingDir%\*.wav
{
clips = %clips% "%A_LoopFileName%"
}

loop, %A_WorkingDir%\*.aif
{
clips = %clips% "%A_LoopFileName%"
}

loop, %A_WorkingDir%\*.aiff
{
clips = %clips% "%A_LoopFileName%"
}

;loop, %A_WorkingDir%\*.mp3
;{
;clips = %clips% "%A_LoopFileName%"
;}

;clips = "SAL123.wav" "SUE123.aif"

run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\audacity.exe\" %clips%

}
