Systemwide keyhook

[Westi]

I want to write a systemwide keyhook to check if 'F1' is pressed.

In VB you call

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal uAction As Long) As Long

and check

GetAsyncKeyState(112) <> 0

I cannot translate the code to AutoIt and suppress the original function (help).

In VB it looks like

Private Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal uAction As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
While 1
If GetAsyncKeyState(112) <> 0 Then MsgBox "F1 pressed"
Wend
End Sub

Maybe someone give me a hint...or the right code

Very thank you, but the original function of 'F1' is already enabled.

Can we disable this behaviour?

To explain:

The keyhook works, but if you ran an application, the functionkey already has both functions (HELP and AutoIt's).

The origin function is executed first, can we catch up this or make them ignore?
