Trying to make a custom message-box as a GUI

[galen_burnett]

Here's my script

Code: Select all

::g::

Gui, +AlwaysOnTop +Disabled -SysMenu +Owner

Gui, Font, s50, Verdana

Gui, Add, Text, cTeal,text

Gui, Font, s25, Verdana,

Gui, Add, Text, cTeal,second text

Gui, Show , H500,

Gui, Show, W888,

Gui, Show, Center,

Gui, Color, cNavy

return



Enter::

reload,

Gui, Hide

return

I'm very new to AHK and haven't studied it properly yet. I want to be able to press enter and for the window to close, but not to 'exit the app', as I want to be able to trigger it again an indefinite amount of time. However the way I have written it is messing with my enter-key otherwise: I have to double-tap the enter-key in other applications to make it register and sometimes the enter-key won't work at all in other applications while this script is running. Basically I want it work just like a standard AHK message-box.

Code: Select all

Gui, Show , H500,

Gui, Show, W888,

Gui, Show, Center,

By the way, the Gui, Show options can be (and typically are) put all in one command like this:

Code: Select all

Gui, Show, W888 H500 Center

Also note that in this as well as any other command, the trailing comma isn’t necessary if the subsequent parameters are left blank.
