How do I check if the user presses a key?

[Andrew Chen]

I am trying to watch if the user presses [ESC] key, to terminate the program. Thanks

You can do this:

While 1
    HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Thanks! If I put this while loop in the top of my code, will the rest still run, or will it be stuck in this while loop?

Post your source and I'll show you where to put it.

That code is wrong, hotkeyset shouldn't be in a while loop, it should be like this:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc
