My GUI works fine.
Here is a screenshot of my Edit box, GUI:
F1 fires the script.
I would then input 1, 2, 3, or 4, and Click Submit or hit ENTER; which Enter doesn't currently get accepted but sends it into a hidden mode or something unbeknownst to me that's happening in AHK world. -- fixed by davidmneedham -- thanks!
code: not working as fully desired
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
F1::
aa := "1) opt 1 or (f)"
bb := "2) opt 2 (v)"
cc := "3) open opt 3"
dd := "4) open opt 4"

;One suggestion I tried this
#If WinActive("Download ahk_exe AutoHotkey.exe")
f:: Send 2{Tab 2}{Enter}
v:: Send 3{Tab 2}{Enter}
#If
What I am trying to incorporate is this:
F1, ENTER 1,2,3,4
OR plainly
press f to fire "2, ENTER"
press v to fire "3, ENTER"
I've looked at the this code from (LINK CODE HERE_HOTKEYS) and looking at this (LINK CODE HERE_KEYPRESS):
Investigating code:
#SingleInstance force
Input, Key, L1
MsgBox You pressed %Key%!
OnExit ExitSub
return
ExitSub:
ExitApp
I can't seem how to incorporate this into
F1 firing the script and accepting the
GUI original code OR accept f or v, in
which any of the line will end the script
and will not run again until F1 if pressed.
Recap:
F1 fires script
2, Enter
or
3, Enter
or
4, Enter
or
f
or
v
... ends the script until F1 pressed once more.
The reason that your window closes without any action when pressing Enter is that the Cancel button is listed as your default action.
Change these lines:
Gui, Add, Button, x50 y170 w50 h30 default gCancel, Cancel
Gui, Add, Button, x130 y170 w50 h30 gSubmit, Submit
And make the Submit button the default action:
Gui, Add, Button, x50 y170 w50 h30 gCancel, Cancel
Gui, Add, Button, x130 y170 w50 h30 default gSubmit, Submit
The reason your context-sensitive hotkeys do not work is because you have the wrong WinTitle: your window title is "Enter Selection". Use the following lines instead
#If WinActive("Enter Selection")
f:: Send 1{Tab 2}{Enter}
v:: Send 2{Tab 2}{Enter}
#If
The complete functional script is below:
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force
F1::
aa := "1) opt 1 or (f)"
bb := "2) opt 2 (v)"
cc := "3) open opt 3"
dd := "4) open opt 4"
