Esc key activtes the default button

[kalayaan]

hi all,

I read somewhere in the forum that pressing the Enter key will return a click on the default button (the first control to be defined) . But I noticed in a gui i created that the escape key also behaves the same way.

I might have missed something but could I somehow make ESC not behave that way?

I realize that I could set ESC as a hotkey to call a function with nothing in it, but this will prevent other applications to detect ESC while the script is running. Help, please...

Enter key works fine (returns a click on the default button) except when the focus is on a combo box, in which case nothing happens.

Thanks for the help.

In the newest betas, Esc is supposed to close the GUI. In previous versions, I think Esc was the same as clicking the active (focused) button.

You can un-register the Esc hotkey if another window becomes active--if you use a GuiMsg loop. Disclaimer: Coded from memory without testing:

GuiCreate("MySample")
GuiShow()
While GuiMsg(0) <> -3
   sleep(100)
   If WinActive("MySample") Then
      HotKeySet("{Esc}", "Foo");register hotkey
   Else
      HotKeySet("{Esc}");un-register
   EndIf
 ;rest of GuiMessage-handling goes here
WEnd
Exit

Func Foo()
EndFunc

ESC closes the GUI in the latest beta (GuiMsg() returns -3)

I always use this piece of script to select all text in an editbox.

You know what, I'll post a request for selecting all with CTRL+A in an editbox.
