ZWD40 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've been using isPressed heavily, and just now wondered what opening a dll is forIf calling this function repeatedly, you should open 'user32.dll' and pass the handle.I assumed that it's where a stream of input is kept as a "log" of some sort to determine that a key is in fact still being heldidk how I got that idea in my head lolor is it a temporary storage of the instructions that encompasses the entire event wherein the key is pressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2012 ZWD40,Each time you call _IsPressed without having a DLL handle in the $vDLL parameter, the DLL is opened and closed. This might only take a few CPU ticks, but if you run the function in a tight loop these soon add up. It is much more efficient to open the DLL and use the handle.

M23It's actually very expensive to load/unload DLLs, however user32.dll is per default loaded into the autoit at startup. Might take some time to look up the DLL, though, from a string. Ever wanted to call functions in another process? ProcessCall UDFConsole stuff: Console UDFC Preprocessor for AutoIt OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
