AC130 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hello AutoIt Forums! I have a question. How do I have it so that when I press a HotKey, a GUI will pop up? Here it goes: I start my autoit application. I press "Ctrl + G" and then a help gui will show? I can only get it to work if I start the program, and the GUI starts with it, without the use of a hotkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmet Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Somethig like this HotKeySet("^g","_CreateGUI") While 1 Sleep(100) If WinExists("Test") Then ExitLoop WEnd Func _CreateGUI() GUICreate("Test") GUISetState() While 1 $msg=GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case -3 ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Try this as an example. It will create a GUI and then when you press CTRL-G it will show/hide another GUI I titled Help. HotKeySet("^g", "ShowGUI") Global $Show = False Global $Gui = GUICreate("Test window", 200, 200) GUISetState() Global $HelpGUI = GUICreate("Help Gui", 500, 200) While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $Msg Case - 3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func ShowGUI() $Show = Not $Show GUISetState($Show, $HelpGui) EndFunc If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
