{RALT} help

[MasonMill]

Hi guys,

How do i send right alt 8?

Send("{RALT}8") doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated!

[jbsoccerbrit]

Send("{RALTDOWN}8{RALTUP}")

[MasonMill]

ahhh, cool. thanks!

[jbsoccerbrit]

I haven't personally tested but I think that is the correct way to do it

[MasonMill]

That doesn't seem to work. They dont turn yellow either like {LALT} and {ALTDOWN} do.

[MasonMill]

Does any one know if you can even use {RALT} plus another button?

[MasonMill]

Send("{RALT} down")

Send("8")

Send("{RALT} up")

doesnt work either

[MasonMill]

So, no one knows if there is any way to send right alt plus a key? It must be possible?

I have tried rightALT and 8 and it works:

HotKeySet("!8", "Mesaj")
 sleep(10000);this is just to get time to test it
Func Mesaj()
      MsgBox(0,"","it works!")
EndFunc

Probably you should try Send("!8")

Problem is i have different things linked to the left and right alt.

Try this modified _IsPressed example.

#include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    Sleep ( 250 )
    If _IsPressed("A5", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(0,"_IsPressed", "Right ALT key pressed")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

According to this, "...the functionality of AltGr is also available via Ctrl+Alt. This is useful in case the current key mapping is not able to differentiate between the Alt key on the left and the AltGr key on the right."

Thanks somdcomputergui! Maybe someday it will be useful!

[edit] So, in this case, your code will look like

#include <Misc.au3>
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
While 1
      Sleep ( 250 )
      If _IsPressed("A5", $dll) And _IsPressed("38", $dll)Then
             MsgBox(0,"_IsPressed", "RightALT+8 pressed")
             ExitLoop
      EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

The reason i didnt do isPressed is because the script has a few lines that it goes through liek this

sleep(4000)

send("6")

sleep(2000)

send("r")

sleep(500)

send("y")

sleep(3000)

send("!2")

sleep(500)

send("9")

sleep(3000)

send("g")

sleep(500)

send("^6")

and one of these needs to be right alt plus a number. So im trying to avoid using isPressed.

Found it! Its Send("{RALT DOWN}8{RALT UP}") you must have spaces in there
