Kevin,
Thanks for making an easy to understand example. Would you believe when
I incorporated
this into my program, it took the whole day? This is because the code
I've been modifying
had the -dialogui option in the creation of the DialogBox. This made the
Window a DialogBox
again causing the intended effect to not work. I learn allot by having
this happen.
I appreciate the support.
Dave

with two textfields in win32-gui perl
David,
You should really only have one button created with the -ok option in a
window. Even if you have many, the Enter key press would only be sent to
the first button created with the option. Usually the option is used in
conjunction with the -cancel option and is used to close the DialogBox
when either the Enter or ESC key is pressed. To get the functionality
that you are looking for, I suggest using a KeyDown event for the
textfields and test for the Enter key. Here is an example modified from
your code sample. Note that the DialogBox has been changed to a Window,
since the DialogBox would intercept any Enter key presses before the
textfields would get a chance to respond to the event:
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI qw();
use Win32::GUI::Constants qw(VK_RETURN);
my $W1 = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
-name => "W1",
-title => "First Window",
-pos => [ 100, 100 ],
-size => [ 300, 200 ],
);
$W1->AddButton(
-name => "ButtonW1",
-text => "FirstName",
-pos => [ 87, 100 ],
);
$W1->AddButton(
-name => "ButtonW2",
-text => "LastName",
-pos => [ 87, 120 ],
);
$W1->AddTextfield(
-name => "tf1",
-pos => [20,40],
-size => [250,20],
-prompt => "1:",
);
$W1->AddTextfield(
-name => "tf2",
-pos => [20,60],
-size => [250,20],
-prompt => "2:",
);
$W1->Show();
print "This is a test\n";
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
exit(0);
sub W1_Terminate { return -1; }
# Keydown event for textfield 1
sub tf1_KeyDown {
my($flags,$key) = @_;
if($key == VK_RETURN){
ButtonW1_Click();
}
return 1;
}
# Keydown event for textfield 2
sub tf2_KeyDown {
my($flags,$key) = @_;
if($key == VK_RETURN){
ButtonW2_Click();
}
return 1;
}
sub ButtonW1_Click {
print "Button 1 Clicked\n";
my $text = $W1->tf1->Text();
print "$text\n";
}
sub ButtonW2_Click {
print "Button 2 Clicked\n";
my $text = $W1->tf2->Text();
print "$text\n";
}
__END__
Hope this helps,
Kevin.
I'm interested in using two textfields in a DialogBox. Each
textfield needs to except input from the enter key. I have learned that
when you create your first button with -ok => 1, this becomes the button
that will click regardless of the textbox you are in.
I'm including some code I'm playing around with:
When you run this and enter 1 for TextBox 1 and 2 for TextBox 2,
Then click on FirstName Button - The result is Button 1 Clicked and a 1
on the next line. This is Expected. Then click on LastName Button - The
result is Button 2 Clicked and a 2 on the next line. This is Expected.
When you go into TextBox1 and click enter the result is "Button 1
Clicked" and a 1 on the next line. This is Expected. When you go into
TextBox2 and click enter the result is This is NOT Expected.
How do I get the result "Button 2 Clicked" and a 2 on the next
line, when I go into textbox2 and click ?
It seems the -ok => 1 only works for the first button created.
Any suggestions. Thanks.
Dave
