simple textbox, submit with enter, in autohotkey

Question

i never write an autohotkey script with a GUI, so i'm a little lost about how can i achieve what i want. I need that after pressing a hotkey opens a empty textbox that let me write anything until i press Enter. That key will close the textbox and somehow save that text in a variable.

thanks

Answer 1

after a couple of minutes of reading autohotkey documentation Autohotkey GUI i create what i need

#SingleInstance, force
#o::
Gui, Add, Edit, vMyEdit -WantReturn
Gui, Add, Button, Default, OK
Gui, Show
return

Escape::
Gui, Destroy
return

GuiClose:
Gui, Destroy
return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit
SendInput <%MyEdit%>{Enter 2}</%MyEdit%>{Up}{Tab}
Gui, Destroy
Return

Also one can use an InputBox but i don't find how can subscribe the Escape key to kill the popup window, so i stick with this long but functional script.
