How to capture *and* let through Alt+Tab?

[leuce 1]

G'day everyone

I want users of my script to be able to change windows using Alt+Tab, but I also want the script to perform a function when the user presses Alt+Tab. How can I do it?

HotKeySet ("!{TAB}", "AltTab")

While 1
Sleep ("100")
WEnd

Func AltTab()
Send ("!{TAB}")
DO SOMETHING ELSE ALSO
EndFunc

The above does not work. It sends Alt+Tab but it does not activate the window changer that is normally associated with Alt+Tab. Alternatively, if that window changer has a name (in Windows XP or elsewhere) and I can "run" it, can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks

Worth having a look at the hotkey udf by Yashied

Try the function coded like this. It disables the hotkey, sends the keystroke again, then sets the hotkey back to the way it was.

Func AltTab()
 HotKeySet("!{TAB}")
 Send("!{TAB}")
 ;DO SOMETHING ELSE ALSO
 HotKeySet ("!{TAB}", "AltTab")
EndFunc
