[SOLVED] Catch Enter key without breaking it?

[Randy Walker]

My old nemisis has returned and i can't figure it out. I need to know when Enter key is pressed inside an editorgadget without breaking the normal behavior. This will catch the enter key but does not move cursor to next line at the same time:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(1, 100,100,310,510, "My_QUICK_NOTE w/autosave", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_TitleBar)
  EditorGadget(1, 5, 5, 270, 500) : AddKeyboardShortcut(1,#PB_Shortcut_Return,2)
  Repeat
    _mess=WaitWindowEvent()
    If _mess=#PB_Event_Menu
      which=EventMenu()
      If which=2
        Debug "Enter was pressed"
      EndIf
    EndIf
  Until _mess=#PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf

I'm hoping for solution that does not require a callback. I hate callbacks.

  Repeat
    Select WaitWindowEvent()
      Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
        Quit = 1
        
      Case #WM_CHAR
        key = EventwParam()
        If key = 13
          Debug "Return key pressed"
        EndIf
    EndSelect
  Until Quit = 1
EndIf

Oops, sorry my friend Rashad, I guess it's my phone's automatic correction

I hate that so much. People that created and enabled that should be hung on he street corner for inflicting mass embarrassment. It's just not right.
