hotkeyset with mouse?

[kaashoofd]

I've got this problem, which the title says pretty much.

I want to get a hotkeyset on my right mouse button, on each click.

I've read some answers to this question, but I don't think that ispressed will do, because, I dunno why but it doesn't at all.

I just want this instant change for a variable, and this ispressed isn't instant (I think?) but it waits until it reaches that part of the script.

But my question is, is there a way of putting mouseclick in hotkeyset or isn't there? Seems really weird to me if there wouldn't be one :/

If your script doesn't have an idle loop it usually returns to, then use AdlibRegister to call a function every so many ms. (this is how fast the script will respond to the click) then at the top of the function use _IsPressed to decide if RMB is pressed and if not, return without doing anything.

There will be a small response time, but there is no such thing as instant when a script has to react to something.

kaashoofd,

This might be what you are looking for.

@ Tvern

My script does have aj idle loop it usually returns to

@ Melba

I don't really know what that does, but i don't want the normal mouseclick to be gone.

I want the mouseclick AND something else to happen.

But isn't there just a button like {ESC} for hotkeyset but then something like {rmb}?

edit: I'm also not looking for rmb down or rmb up, but just a click.

Then _Ispressed seems like a logical choice. Keep in mind that this might start spamming the function while you keep the button down, so you might want to use a solution that stops the function from running more then once per mouseclick like these:

This version stops the entire script while the right mouse is down.

#include <misc.au3>
Global $DLLUser32 = DllOpen("User32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("02", $DLLUser32) Then _Function()
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _Function()
    ConsoleWrite("This is some text" & @CRLF)
    While _IsPressed("02",$DLLUser32)
        Sleep(20)
    WEnd
EndFunc

This version allows the rest of the script to keep running.

#include <misc.au3>
Global $fMouseDown, $DLLUser32 = DllOpen("User32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("02", $DLLUser32) Then
        If Not $fMouseDown Then
            _Function()
            $fMouseDown = True
        EndIf
    Else
        $fMouseDown = False
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _Function()
    ConsoleWrite("This is some text" & @CRLF)
EndFunc

How responsive they are depends on how fast your idle loop is, and if the script spends a lot of time in functions, but usually it'll be fast enough for any common application.

The topic Melba23 linked will do exactly what you want too, but I thought I'd at least show you an laternative.
