aRd78 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Hi there,I´m trying to remap a keypad My sample code looks like this..HotKeySet("{Esc}","_Exit_app") #include <Misc.au3> $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") While 1 if ( _IsPressed("6A", $dll)) Then ToolTip("test") sleep(500) ToolTip("") EndIf sleep(100) WEnd Func _Exit_app() DllClose($dll) Exit EndFuncMy problem is that when pressing the * key my "hot key" works but i also get a * sent to the application. I want to stop the sending of the *.Hope you guys understand my problem.. Edited December 7, 2010 by aRd78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRd78 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Try telling it to send something else.I described a little bit crazy. I want to capture the real key press in order to replace it with another one. Normally, I would be able to use hotkeyset but it does not work on asterisk (*).

JohnOne Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Im not sure I follow, you know what the real ispressed is, its "6A".

aRd78 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Im not sure I follow, you know what the real ispressed is, its "6A". I'll try to explain better. I want to achieve: when I press the asterisk (*) on the numpad, AutoIt would stop that press and send backspace instead. But right now I just manage to accomplish the following, when I for example in notepad, press the asterisk (*) asterisk symbol will occur in notepad (not what I want) and then my script sends a backspace. The reason I use _ispressed is that I never had a Hotkeyset to work with asterisk! see new example code!!! HotKeySet("{Esc}","_Exit_app") #include <Misc.au3> $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") While 1 if ( _IsPressed("6A", $dll)) Then send("{BACKSPACE}") EndIf sleep(100) WEnd func _Exit_app() DllClose($dll) Exit EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoHanatCent Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Are you using the num pad "*" or trying with shift and 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) The reason I use _ispressed is that I never had a Hotkeyset to work with asterisk! Try this: HotKeySet("+8", "_msg") while 1 sleep( 10) ;idle around wend func _msg() msgbox(0, "", "* pressed!") EndFunc Or this: HotKeySet("*", "_msg") while 1 sleep( 10) ;idle around wend func _msg() msgbox(0, "", "* pressed!") EndFunc Both will work on SHIFT&8, but will not work on the asterisk key. edit: This is an interesting problem. I'm looking around to see how to solve this.

Bert Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This will work on the asterisk key in question. It is referred to as the "Multiply" key #include <Misc.au3> $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") While 1 Sleep ( 250 ) If _IsPressed("6A", $dll) Then MsgBox(0,"_IsPressed", "End Key Pressed") ExitLoop EndIf WEnd The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think that is basically the code the OP has to begin with. I'm thinking he wants a function more like hotkeyset(), because that will intercept the sending of the asterix and send some other character, where as #include <Misc.au3> $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") While 1 Sleep ( 250 ) If _IsPressed("6A", $dll) Then Send("a") ExitLoop EndIf WEnd will send both If something like HotKeySet("6A","_func") were possible, would be a solution.

BrewManNH Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 @MPH & @aRd78 To get a hotkeyset to work for the numberpad * to work, you need to use {NUMPADMULT}.

aRd78 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Spot on BrewManNH HotKeySet("{NUMPADMULT}","_run") While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func _run() Send("x") EndFunc Hopefully this solves my problem! But I'm still curious if it is possible to prevent the letter / character from being sent when you use _ispressed? I´ll give it a try at work tomorrow... Thx!!!

iamtheky Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 if it is possible to prevent the letter / character from being sent when you use _ispressed? Maybe playing with sendkeydelay - then next onto getting it to only backspace over a single character #Include <Misc.au3> Opt("SendKeyDelay", 30) ;5 milliseconds While 1 If _IsPressed("6A") Then send ("{BS 1}") sleep (50) EndIf WEnd ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
