Help with commands from edit box 1

[pyutian]

I am trying to make an edit box that I can type data into and when I hit enter it will transmit the text in the edit box and do a couple of othr things. I can make it work with a push button but I dont want to have ti hit the button every time. Is ther a way to put the focus on the edit box or something? Someone please help.

Here is the sample code:

proc main

dialogbox 0 7 16 672 29 2 "Caption"
editbox 2 20 4 482 20 cmdtext
pushbutton 3 517 5 62 17 "Push"
enddialog

while 1 ; Loop forever.
dlgEvent 0 EventID ; Get dialog EventID.
switch EventID ; Evaluate the EventID.
case 0
endcase
case 2
keyget ikey
if ikey==13
call sndcmd
;usermsg "%d" ikey
endif
endcase
case 3
call sndcmd
endcase
default

exitwhile
endcase
endswitch
endwhile
dlgdestroy 0 CANCEL
endproc

proc sndcmd
;strfmt cmdtxt "%s^M" cmdtxt
transmit cmdtext
transmit "^M"
cmdtext = ""
main ()
endproc

Thanks

If you add the DEFAULT keyword to the end of your pushbutton statement, that should fix you up. This will cause the dialog to close when the Enter key is pressed.
