This is a very small but useful UDF library for support native API HotKey controls. This library is written similary as other AutoIt GUI libraries. For more information, see detailed descriptions of all functions inside GuiHotKey.au3.

If you need more capacity to work with hot keys, you can use HotKey and HotKeyInput UDF libraries.

Available functions

_GUICtrlHotKey_Create
_GUICtrlHotKey_Destroy
_GUICtrlHotKey_GetHotKey
_GUICtrlHotKey_GetKeys
_GUICtrlHotKey_MakeKeyCode

I did the same thing last year. I just got mine out to test though and there are a few bugs, so I'll probably be using yours from now on

The one thing I did like about mine was that it autoit hotkey strings rather than virtual keys. Saves a lot of hassle. All I need to do is fix mine so that using letters means lower case letter output unless shift is pressed (like autoit does).

Thanks this is very good i post this crapy array thing but yours is far far beyond better.. this will be usefull....

@Off-Topic: I think the only problem with this forum is that it is very large and many things happen unnoticed

Thanks Yashied for this UDF very nice

There is one thing missing.. i cannot select the Pause Key and as far as i know this key isn't used a lot. Very useful as a hotkey.

Cheers

Very nice!
I hope this will become part of standard UDFs one day.

I hope one day we have a complete collection of all the windows controls. I don't see any reason why not.

Hi
Very nice UDF ! Thanks a lot ! It was really helpfull !
BTW, when I try to use it with the function "_IsPressed" it works with every HotKey like "A, B, C, F12, F5, etc..." but it doesn't work with CTRL + F2 or ALT + F1

If _IsPressed(Hex($Code, 4))

There is another way to do this?
Thank !
