Would be nice if a single keystroke input can be accepted by MMM without needing to hit the "RETURN" key.
Something like "y" or "n" or a number e.g. "3" etc...
And store the input in %STRINGXX% for example.
The input can be skipped with a default value if no key is pressed within a predefined time.
This is a very desirable convenience feature.
Thanks!

1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Yes or No::Yes or No::PROMPT_YES_NO::STRING
This accepts the single keystroke Y or N, or are you looking for something different?

Would you be looking for something like this.
1 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Number::Number::PROMPT_INTEGER::INTEGER
This would Prompt for a number and not require the enter key.

Hey Zeak, Thank you so much! This is really cool and it is working! Still don't understand how it works lol!
When I typed "n", %STRING% got "NO"!!! I would have expected "n". Trying to change the constants to Nooo or NOOO, still gave me "NO"! lol!
This script is so magical!
It has saved me lots of time now and it would be nice if the single-stroke prompt can be timed out in 3 seconds, such that I don't really need to
type anything and it will default to "YES".
Cheers!

Unfortunately sometimes the input box does not pop up as it was not in focus/behind other windows. This has defeated the purpose of a single-stroke input.
Steve, I know you have a workaround in another threat but it would be great if MMM can do it by default without needing an extra MMM instant running. Thanks!

Steve, I know you have a workaround in another threat but it would be great if MMM can do it by default without needing an extra MMM instant running. Thanks! Think I might have solved your problem. 2 | RUN ACTION | INPUT BOX | Continue: Yes or No::Continue?::PROMPT_YES_NO::STRING | ELSE | 2 | RUN ACTION | RUN ACTION | SELECT WINDOW BY NAME | Continue?Use an ELSE after your INPUT BOX action with SELECT WINDOW BY NAME with the name of your INPUT BOX. I'm not exactly sure why this works, maybe something to do with ELSE looking for an IF statement and not getting one so it evaluates as false letting both work. The only time I've found this fails is if you are switching windows at the same time or just after it tries to select window. |
