Paste into InputBox

[arepas]

I'm trying to make a script that searches my highlighted text in Google and opens an InputBox (by pressing Ctrl+Caps lock) to slightly modify it. However, I cannot find a way to automatically paste the clipboard into the InputBox.
Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

    searchGoogle(query){
        StringReplace, query, query, %A_Tab%, , ALL ;delete all tabs from text in keyboard
        StringReplace, query, query, •, , ALL ;delete bullet points from text in keyboard
        search = C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe https www.google.com /search?q="%query%"  Broken Link for safety
        KeyWait Enter
        Run %search%
    }

^CapsLock::
    Clipboard =
    Send, ^c
    ClipWait
    queries := Clipboard
    StringReplace, queries, queries, %A_Tab%, , ALL ;delete all tabs from text in keyboard
    StringReplace, queries, queries, •, , ALL ;delete bullet points from text in keyboard

    InputBox, queries, Google Search, Edit Search term, , ,100, , , ,30,
    Send, ^v ;<<<***********THIS IS THE PART THAT DOES NOT WORK********
        if ErrorLevel
        ControlClick,Cancel ,Google Search
        else if (queries="")
        msgbox,Input is empty
        else   
        searchGoogle(queries)

    return

What am I doing wrong?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you want to use InputBox, try this:

Code: Select all

SetTimer, SetInputBoxText, -100
InputBox, queries, Google Search, Edit Search term, , ,100, , , ,30,
return

SetInputBoxText:
WinWait, Google Search ahk_class #32770
ControlSetText, Edit1, %Clipboard%
return

You could also build simple GUI with Edit control and two Buttons, and than later set Edit text with GuiControl command

You can just use the Default parameter of InputBox to put the clipboard contents in it:

Code: Select all

Clipboard := "test string"
InputBox, queries, Google Search, Edit Search term,,,100,,,,30, % Clipboard

Thank you both! That worked. I managed to add %queries% at the end of the InputBox, which prefills the text before executing the search. I still have to press the end button or right arrow if I want to edit it, but that's a minor usability issue.
