Is it possible to change focus in dialog window after input?
For instance, after the input changed (there could be any value) the focus should be on the button, so that we could press Enter on the keyboard to submit the dialog.

Same procedure as in your other thread

var w = new Window("dialog", "Example Dialog");
w.dialogGroup = w.add("group");
w.dialogGroup.el1 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 1");
w.dialogGroup.el2 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 2");
w.dialogGroup.el1.active = true;
w.quitBtn = w.add("button", undefined, "Ok");
w.defaultElement = w.quitBtn;
w.dialogGroup.el1.onChange = function() {
    w.quitBtn.active = true;
    }
w.show();

Have fun

But how can I output the value of el1 element?

[pixxxelschubser]

var aTxt = null;
var w = new Window("dialog", "Example Dialog");
w.dialogGroup = w.add("group");
w.dialogGroup.el1 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 1");
w.dialogGroup.el2 = w.dialogGroup.add("edittext", undefined, "Edit Text 2");
w.dialogGroup.el1.active = true;
w.quitBtn = w.add("button", undefined, "Ok");
w.defaultElement = w.quitBtn;
w.dialogGroup.el1.onChange = function() {
    aTxt = w.dialogGroup.el1.text;
    w.quitBtn.active = true;
    }
w.show();
alert(aTxt);

The only tning  which is working strange now is how the dialog responds when submit the form by mouse (of course, this was not required in the original question). Now we need to click the button twice by mouse to submit it.

In your code or in my snippet?

In your snippet.

That's really hard. For me the snippet works as expected (but did only tried from ESTK).

Sometimes Illu scripts make strange things. Maybe try this cumbersome workaround PromptToSaveChanges / ScriptUI Default Highlighted Button

[andyf65867865]

I commented the line
w.quitBtn.active = true;

and set onClick() function for the button and after that seems it's working as expected 🙂

[pixxxelschubser]

Yes. That is the normal behavior. But I thought you want to highlighting the OK button after changing editText1.
