HotKeySet not working with numeric pad keys...

[Shaarad]

Hi everyone,

I need the program to capture the keypresses on the num pad when num lock is active.

whatever I have done so far is :

expandcollapse popup

hotkeyset ("0","function48")
hotkeyset ("1","function49")
hotkeyset ("2","function50")
hotkeyset ("3","function51")
hotkeyset ("4","function52")
hotkeyset ("5","function53")
hotkeyset ("6","function54")
hotkeyset ("7","function55")
hotkeyset ("8","function56")
hotkeyset ("9","function57")

func function48()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 0")
Endfunc
func function49()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 1")
Endfunc
func function50()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 2")
Endfunc
func function51()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 3")
Endfunc
func function52()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 4")
Endfunc
func function53()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 5")
Endfunc
func function54()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 6")
Endfunc
func function55()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 7")
Endfunc
func function56()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 8")
Endfunc
func function57()
MsgBox (64, "NUMBERS","The number typed is : 9")
Endfunc

BUT it does not catch the number typed on numeric pad and only catches the eypresses of the numbers just above the alphabets on the keyboard...confused...

Use {NUMPAD0} - {NUMPAD9} instead.

Maybe have a look at _IsPressed() in the Help File.

Thanks water,

The thing worked ! Also thanks to guiness, I will see this thing too....

This might also be of interest:

For $i = 0 To 9
    HotKeySet ($i,"_HotKeyPressed")
    HotKeySet ("{NUMPAD" & $i & "}","_HotKeyPressed")
Next

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _HotKeyPressed()
    Local $sHotKey = StringRegExpReplace(@HotKeyPressed,"{NUMPAD(\d)}","$1")
    MsgBox (64 ,"NUMBERS" ,"The number typed is : " & $sHotKey)
Endfunc

water was right I think. But it's always handy to know that other Functions are available in the Help File too

Thanks a lot Tvern, that was surely of a great interest !
