calling a function on event (like AHK OnMessage)

[gigi1]

hi, as the title say, i'm trying to rewrite an AutoHotKey script into AutoIt, but i cannot find the autoit function for AHK's OnMessage, which monitors imput and start a function when data is received.

thanks for help

Look these up in the help-file:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "SpecialEvents")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "OKPressed")

no, maybe i didn't explained right. i need to have something monitoring the input from a windows API in a dll previously called. this is the code i need to import in autoit:

OnMessage(0x3C1, "{the function it calls on received input}")

GUIRegisterMsg() ?

gigi1,

Welcome to the AutoIt Forums.

I am not quite sure what you are referring to either, but it looks like you want to watch for a key to be pressed, and then call a function. You might want to look into HotKeySet() or _IsPressed().

Edit: added another function to look into

i want to find what is the AutoIt version of this AutoHotKey functions: OnMessage (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/OnMessage.htm)

this is because i'm trying to write in AutoIt parts of a script i found written in AutoHotKey language, and i'm stuck at this part:

; ----- the OnMessage listeners ----

      ; #define MM_MIM_OPEN 0x3C1 /* MIDI input */
      ; #define MM_MIM_CLOSE 0x3C2
      ; #define MM_MIM_DATA 0x3C3
      ; #define MM_MIM_LONGDATA 0x3C4
      ; #define MM_MIM_ERROR 0x3C5
      ; #define MM_MIM_LONGERROR 0x3C6

    OnMessage(0x3C1, "MidiMsgDetect")  ; calling the function MidiMsgDetect in get_midi_in.ahk
    OnMessage(0x3C2, "MidiMsgDetect") 
    OnMessage(0x3C3, "MidiMsgDetect")
    OnMessage(0x3C4, "MidiMsgDetect")
    OnMessage(0x3C5, "MidiMsgDetect")
    OnMessage(0x3C6, "MidiMsgDetect")

i'm sorry for not being clear, i hope this last post helps understanding.
