HotKey Function - *facepalm* fail

[WyrdNEXUS]

For some screwy reason, the pause and exit hotkeys work fine, but the others don't.

I'm sure its just something stupid I'm doing wrong, and I've tried to shrink my code to make it less time-consuming to review. (Also as part of my troubleshooting process)

At this point, I'm sure some fresh eyes can give me a nice quick smack in the face.

Global $gloPAUSE = False

HotKeySet("`", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

HotKeySet("{LCTRL}1", "Trigger1")
HotKeySet("{LCTRL}2", "Trigger(2)")

While 1
    sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Trigger1()
    MsgBox("ONE", "test", "well it got to 1")
    sleep(1000)
EndFunc

Func Trigger($x)
    MsgBox("TWO", "test", "it got to 2!")
    Sleep(1000)
EndFunc

Func TogglePause()
    $gloPAUSE = NOT $gloPAUSE
    if $gloPAUSE Then
        ToolTip('Script Paused',0,0)
    Sleep(1000)
    ToolTip("")
    Else
    ToolTip('Script Enabled',0,0)
    sleep(1000)
    ToolTip("")
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Try '^1' and '^2' instead of '{LCTRL}1' and '{LCTRL}2'. Some of the keys in the send syntax cannot be set as hotkeys.

Thanks... I knew I just needed a swift kick.

Wow, I could have sworn I already tried that.

The second function still doesn't work... well, I've learned the hard way that you can't pass args via HotKeys. Wonder why?

[Richard Robertson]

You can't because it doesn't work that way on Windows' side. If you want to differentiate between different hotkeys, don't try to send parameters. Just use the @HotKeyPressed macro to check.

[WyrdNEXUS]

Huh, thats interesting.

So I could effectively create Hotkey's which trigger function params.

Create a hotkey with a null handler (empty function)

Switch for last hotkey pressed -> trigger function.

Well... maybe. I'll toy around with it a bit and find out.

Thanks!

[Richard Robertson]

Yes you can do that.
