Do you mean something like this?

Code: Select all

var := sendInputBox()
MsgBox, %var%

sendInputBox()
{
	global editfield
	Gui, 99:Add, Edit, x2 y9 w270 h20 veditfield, 
	Gui, 99:Show, w278 h36, InputBox
	while(!GetKeyState("Enter", "p"))
		continue
	Gui, 99:Submit, nohide
	Gui, 99:Destroy
	return editfield
}

Nice idea to use while(!GetKeyState("Enter", "p")). But at least add 1 milliseconds to it, otherwise the script will take up a lot of CPU, 8% for me.

Code: Select all

while(!GetKeyState("Enter", "p"))
		sleep 1

True. i didnt thought about that

Code: Select all

var := sendInputBox()
MsgBox, %var%
return


sendInputBox()
{
	global editfield
	Gui, 99:Add, Edit, x2 y9 w270 h20 veditfield, 
	Gui, 99:Show, w278 h36, InputBox
	while(!GetKeyState("Enter", "p"))
		Sleep, 100
	Gui, 99:Submit, nohide
	Gui, 99:Destroy
	return editfield
}

Or KeyWait, Enter, Down.
However there is a problem here, pressing Enter key in another window will also close the input GUI.

Improved code:

Code: Select all

MsgBox, % sendInputBox()
MsgBox, % sendInputBox2()
return

sendInputBox()
{
	static
	Gui, 99:+HWNDhGUI
	Gui, 99:Add, Edit, x2 y9 w270 h20 veditfield +HWNDhEdit, 
	Gui, 99:Show, w278 h36, InputBox
	while !( GetKeyState("Enter", "p") && WinActive("ahk_id " hGUI) )
		Sleep, 100
	Gui, 99:Submit
	Gui, 99:Destroy
	return editfield
}

sendInputBox2()
{
	static
	Gui, 99:+HwndHGUI
	Gui, 99:Add, Edit, x2 y9 w270 h20 veditfield, 
	Gui, 99:Add, Button, Default Hidden, OK
	Gui, 99:Show, w278 h36, InputBox
	WinWaitClose, ahk_id %HGUI%
	return editfield

	99ButtonOK:
		Gui, 99:Submit
		Gui, 99:Destroy
	return
}
