Keyboard problem

[Sparhawk]

Hi,

I just started using autoit, but I have problem...

My script looks like this:

hotkeyset ("{F9}", "hide")
hotkeyset ("{F10}", "show")
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
Global $handle = WinGetHandle("classname=xxx")
while 1
sleep(1000)
WEnd

func hide()
Global $Show = 0
WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_MINIMIZE )
;~ WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_HIDE )
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Couldn't find xxx")
Else
While 1
ControlSend($handle, "", "", "1")
Sleep(1000)
If $Show > 0 Then ExitLoop
Wend
EndIf
endfunc

func show()
Global $Show = 1
;~ WinSetstate ($handle, "", @SW_SHOW )
WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE )
WinActivate ($handle, "")
endfunc

Purpose of this script is, when u press F9, program will Be minimized and pressing "1" at loop with 1s looptime..

However I cant make this work, cause I have problem with sending that "1" key, cause I using diferent keyboard layout = not ENGLISH = instead of "1" it sending "+" key... can some1 help me? I think I must define some keyboard layout to eng in script.. if Im wrong, just tell me...

Thanks for your help

P.S. Another problem is, that it randomly sending Shift key to windows and I rly dont know why

hotkeyset ("{F9}", "hide")
hotkeyset ("{F10}", "show")
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
Global $handle = WinGetHandle("classname=xxx")
while 1
sleep(1000)
WEnd

func hide()
Global $Show = 0;don't declare globally inside of a function, it defeats the purpose
WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_MINIMIZE )
;~ WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_HIDE )
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Couldn't find xxx")
Else
While 1
ControlSend($handle, "", "", "1");you're using controlsend but not sending to a control, check out Send()
Sleep(1000)
If $Show > 0 Then ExitLoop
Wend
EndIf
endfunc

func show()
Global $Show = 1;definitely don't declare 1 variable globally in 2 functions
;~ WinSetstate ($handle, "", @SW_SHOW )
WinSetState ($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE )
WinActivate ($handle, "")
endfunc

I've added a couple of comments... also, when you list code, use [ autoit] and [ /autoit] tags

***edit***

ps, try using "{NUMPAD1}" instead of 1, and your errant Shifting is probably because the + you're actually sending is being interpreted as a shift key
