Problems with HotKeySet

[fielmann 0]

Hello,

HotKeySet("+{F11}", "stamp")

While 1

sleep(500)

wend

Func stamp()

Send(@MDAY & "." & @MON & "." & @YEAR & "{TAB}" & 'my text')

EndFunc

start the upper autoit-script

open e.g. notepad.exe

press the Hotkey [shift]+[F11]

you can see the timestamp

now try to type anything else in notepad: [shift] is still pressed!

the problem appears always after using the Hotkey-function

any ideas? mayby a bug?

There, I fixed it.

#include<misc.au3>
HotKeySet("+{F11}", "stamp")
While 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd
Func stamp()
    While _IsPressed("10") ;Wait until shift is release before sending anything...
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    Send(@MDAY & "." & @MON & "." & @YEAR & "{TAB}" & 'my text')
EndFunc   ;==>stamp

thanks for your reply and workaround

seemed to be a bug we should send to John Bennett

While _IsPressed("10") ;Wait until shift is release before sending anything...

What is the meaning of "10"?

I have the same problem with [CTRL]

How to workaround HotKeySet("^{F11}", "stamp2")?

[BitByteBit 1]

10 a hexadecimal value that represents shift, for a full list look in the help file for _IsPressed (press F1 when the cursor is by _IsPressed).

The hexadecimal representation of Ctrl is 11.
