Ispressed just once?

[Tomoya]

So I was trying to have this script send #P everytime I push enter but I also have to push enter again right after it to submit the text entered. Is there anyway to ignore the 2nd enter?

What I currently have using a example provided.

Why not do Send("{#}P") and move the sleep after the Send()?

I will update the Send command but the sleep before is so it does not send the #P to fast. Thanks for the tip about the Send command

Maybe a Do until will work... Gonna go try that and report back.

OK.

A simple solution would be to only let ColorChange return when the key is released like this:

Func ColorChange()
    Send ("{#}")
    Send ("P")
    While _IsPressed('0D')
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc

But that blocks the rest of the script, so it isn't always an option. The following script should only trigger once when a key is pressed, without blocking the script:

Global $aKeyStillPressed[255] ;used to keep track of keystate
Global $u32dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") ;I strongly suggest using DllOpen for speed when running _Ispressed in such a tight loop

While 1
    If _IsPressedEx('1b') Then _Exit()
    If _IsPressedEx('0D') Then _ColorChange()
   Sleep(10)
Wend

Func _ColorChange()
    Send ("{#}")
    Send ("P")
EndFunc

Func _IsPressedEx($hexKey)
    Local $iKey = Dec($hexKey)
    If $iKey > 255 Or $iKey < 0 Then Return SetError(1,0,0)
    Local $aR = DllCall($u32dll, "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int",'0x' & $hexKey)
    If @error Then Return SetError(2,0,0)
    If $aKeyStillPressed[$iKey] Then ;If the key was already registered as pressed
        If BitAND($aR[0], 0x8000) <> 0x8000 Then $aKeyStillPressed[$iKey] = False ;Check if it is still pressed and update if needed
        Return 0 ;do nothing
    ElseIf BitAND($aR[0], 0x8000) = 0x8000 Then ;If the key wasn't registered as pressed, but is pressed now it must be a new keypress
        $aKeyStillPressed[$iKey] = True ;Update the pressed status
        Return 1
    EndIf
    Return 0
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    DllClose($u32dll)
    Exit
EndFunc

Works great! Thanks for your time and effort, gonna make sure I read through it and understand all that you changed so I can use it later
