Knucklehead Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hello, I'm designing a little program for friends. Basically I want this code to allow them to input information into an input box and then by pressing a hotkey, having that information spat out into a text field specific to a certain program. This is the meat of the code. Global $var1 = inputbox("title", "enter your stuff") Sleep (500) Global $var2 = inputbox("title", "enter your other stuff") HotKeySet("{F2}","input") HotKeySet("{F3}","exitapp") func input() HotKeySet("{F2}") Tooltip("Your info was sent", 0, 0) send($var1) send("{tab}") send($var2) send("{enter}") sleep(2000) EndFunc func exitapp() HotKeySet("{F3}") Exit EndFunc This will be my third day with Autoit and I'm still settling into it Me and my friend spent a night trying different things to get the script to follow through but it always terminates after the input boxes. We hypothesized that it needed a loop to keep the script alive. But everything we tried gave an error. Tell me what to do guys, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omikron48 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 That will work. What was wrong with your script is that it doesn't linger. This is the only part the script is set to run: Global $var1 = inputbox("title", "enter your stuff") Sleep (500) Global $var2 = inputbox("title", "enter your other stuff") HotKeySet("{F2}","input") HotKeySet("{F3}","exitapp") The script automatically ends and exits after the second HotKeySet. Adding a very long sleep or an infinite loop at the end will prevent your script from terminating. If using an infinite loop, inserting a Sleep(100) inside prevents your script from hogging the CPU resources while it lingers. So the infinite loop would look like so: While 1 ;always true so loop never ends Sleep(100) WEnd These are just function definitions and will not be run unless they are called: Func input() HotKeySet("{F2}") Tooltip("Your info was sent", 0, 0) send($var1) send("{tab}") send($var2) send("{enter}") sleep(2000) EndFunc Func exitapp() HotKeySet("{F3}") Exit EndFunc Note: You do realize that you are removing the hot key for F2 when you press F2 the first time, meaning that your hot key will only be usable once.

Knucklehead Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Wow, lol I don't know why that hotkeyset was in the function o.0 blah... thanks Alright, It works amazing now, the only problem that remains is my tooltip hangs around forever... I would like it to end after a period of time I feel like I'm cheating. You guys are good. lol This is my code so far: Global $var1 = inputbox("title", "put stuff here") Sleep (500) Global $var2 = inputbox("title", "put more stuff here") HotKeySet("{F2}","input") HotKeySet("{F3}","exitapp") While 1 sleep(100) WEnd func input() Tooltip("Stuff is happening", 150, 0) send($var1) send("{tab}") send($var2) send("{enter}") sleep(500) EndFunc func exitapp() Exit EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikron48 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) From the help file regarding ToolTip, in the Remarks section:A Tooltip will appear until the script terminates or ToolTip("") is called.So you can just show your tooltip then sleep for a bit then call ToolTip("").

FuryCell Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) How about this: You can change the 3000 which is 3 seconds to what ever value you want. Global $var1 = inputbox("title", "enter your stuff") Sleep (500) Global $var2 = inputbox("title", "enter your other stuff") HotKeySet("{F2}","input") HotKeySet("{F3}","exitapp") while 1 sleep (100) wend func input() HotKeySet("{F2}") Tooltip("Your info was sent", 0, 0) AdlibEnable("KillToolTip",3000) send($var1) send("{tab}") send($var2) send("{enter}") sleep(2000) EndFunc func exitapp() HotKeySet("{F3}") Exit EndFunc Func KillToolTip() ToolTip("") AdlibDisable() EndFunc Edited October 7, 2009 by P5ych0Gigabyte HKTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeLyricToy:Softpedia | GoogleCodeRCTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeMichtaToolsProgrammer n. - An ingenious device that turns caffeine into code.

Knucklehead Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Everything is shiny and perfect! I will try more advanced scripting later on. This was just a test to see how versital this code is. I learned a great deal from this, thank you all I hope to help others like this someday, but for now I'm going to squabble in my newbiness And that help file is pretty thanks for bringing that to my attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
