I have a script that traps ^A and ^C accelerator keys via the GUISetAccelerators() function, and in the key handlers, I check to see if the focus is on the control that I want the keys to operate on. However, when I see that I'm not on that control, I want to pass the ^C and ^A back to the system so I can copy and past data on other controls. Here is my test script. I have it applying ^A and ^C only to the ListView control. When I put focus on the Input control, I want to be able to copy and paste normally.

Hello everyone, I am trying to setup a GUI accelerator to close the utility as soon as esc is pressed. It works fine with hotkey but I want to make sure that the utility only exits if its window was active when esc was pressed. My utility has 2 buttons, Backup and Restore. The exit function checks if the button clicked was Backup or Restore and then displays an error message accordingly. If pressed backup, $button = 1 if pressed restore, $button = 2 the value of $button is set inside backup() or restore() functions Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Opt("GUICoordMode", 1) $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 419, 124, 238, 194, $WS_DLGFRAME) $B_backup = GUICtrlCreateButton("Backup", 48, 40, 145, 41) $B_restore = GUICtrlCreateButton("Restore", 224, 40, 145, 41) ;================ > HotKeySet('{ESC}', "terminate") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($B_backup, "Backup") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($B_restore, "Restore") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Dim $accelKey[1][2] = [["{ESC}", terminate()]] GUISetAccelerators($accelKey) While 1     Switch GUIGetMsg()         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE             Exit     EndSwitch WEnd Exit function: func terminate() Do     $msg = GUIGetMsg() Until $msg <> 0 While 1         If $button = 1 Then             ProcessClose("robocopy.exe")             MsgBox(16, "Abort!", "Backup Aborted!")             exit         ElseIf $button = 2 Then             ProcessClose("robocopy.exe")             MsgBox(16, "Abort!", "Restore Aborted!")             exit         Else             While 1                 For $i = 3 To 1 Step -1                     SplashTextOn("Closing Utility...", $i, 130, 54, -1, -1, 0, "Calibri", "", 900)                     Sleep(1000)                 Next                 ExitLoop             WEnd             SplashOff()             Exit Endif WEnd What am I doing wrong here? The utility closes as soon as it launches with Splash text.

Hello! Is anybody know easy way to assign accelerator for checkbox? It is easy to work with buttons, but with checkbox button it doesn't work in my case. Thank you for any assistance.

I'm a bit confused about accelerator keys and checkboxes. 1) See my code below: Is this the correct way how I put them in the script? (First: reading the ini file to see if the checkbox is enabled then setting the checkbox state before "GUISetState(@SW_SHOW" Second: After having created the GUI, if the status of the checkbox changes disable or enable the accelerator keys (Case $CB3) Third: when the GUI is closed, write checkbox status in ini) 2) I've read in a reply of Melba in another topic that in order to disable the accelerator keys (in my case {enter}) It is needed to Send a CR to the control "ControlSend($hGUI, "", $hFocus, @CR)" I don't know why this is, I haven't understand it very well and I don't know where to put it in my case. (but it seems to work fine in my code without it) 3) In my code below I have inserted only 2 buttons (search and images) In reality I have a lot more buttons. The code between ";Focus and Accelerator key" and ";END Focus and Accelerator key" is almost the same in all Cases. The only thing different is the value of $focus. The value of $focus is the Case name. Is there a way to put this code in an external function to avoid multiplying the code many times?
