Tvern Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Look at HotKeySet in the helpfile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeah, I can do something like that using Hotkeys but I was wondering if there was another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tvern Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 There are loads of other ways. For example you could use _IsPressed, or capture the WM_KEYDOWN message, but Hotkeyset seems to do exactly what you asked for, so I see little reason to reïnvent the weel.

Malkey Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Like this example.Press Enter to continue script to message box.Notice, no "#Include <Misc.au3>" needed._WaitEnterKey() MsgBox(0, "End of wait", " Enter key pressed") ; Modified from _IsPressed() from Misc.au3 UDF include file. ; Wait for "Enter" key to be pressed. Func _WaitEnterKey() Local $a_R, $vDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll") Do Sleep(10) $a_R = DllCall($vDLL, "short", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", '0x0D') ; "0D" - Enter key Until $a_R[0] DllClose($vDLL) Return 1 EndFunc ;==>_WaitEnterKey ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advantages to using this to as opposed to _IsPressed() other than not having to include Misc.au3? I'm specifically thinking about the best way to intercept '0x01' for mouse clicks Are you experienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm specifically thinking about the best way to intercept '0x01' for mouse clicksI don't notice a difference. Whatever window is active will still register that an Enter key was pressed. I would like the program to intercept the Enter key so that nothing gets accidentally selected. I'm also interested in a way to intercept mouse clicks so that things don't accidentally get selected. I want to specify points on the screen with the mouse, but clicking the mouse just causes the program to lose focus. What do you plan to do with intercepting mouse clicks, something similar?
