HotKeySet - how to UnSet?

[Icy]

HotKeySet("a","XX")
$C = 0

While 1 = 1
Sleep (5000)
WEnd

Func XX()
$C = $C + 1
If $C = 1 Then
While 1 = 1
Send ("cuss")
Sleep (1000)
WEnd
Else
$C = 0
EndIf
EndFunc

Hi. This is my simple function, which was supposed to start the function on the 1st key press and stop on the second press.

But it doesn't work well. Any help please?

Ps. use the most simple way to make my function work. =)

Thx

Please check the help file for function HotKeySet, parameter 2:

"Not specifying this parameter will unset a previous hotkey."

[Icy]

No nononono, I did check that and that's not what I need. I need to stop the function by pressing that key.

But the title of this thread says "HotKeySet - how to UnSet?"

[Icy]

No problem, I figured that out - some other way =)

[Icy]

Awesome program btw!

Edit:

Although, if you could give me your solution for this, I would be happy. My is just improvised one...

Maybe you can use a null parameter in the function itself so that next time it wont recognise that hotkey and serve the purpose.

I noticed, that the function did loop forever because of the while 1=1 command. So I solved it with the IF function. Done and did it!

This toggles key "a" to send/stop writing text.

HotKeySet("a", "XX")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")
$C = 0

While 1 = 1
    Sleep(5000)
WEnd

Func XX()
    HotKeySet("a", "YY")
    While 1 = 1
        IF $C = 0 Then
            Send("cuss")
            Sleep(1000)
        Else
            ExitLoop
        Endif
    WEnd
    $C = 0
EndFunc   ;==>XX

Func YY()
    $C = 1
    HotKeySet("a", "XX")
EndFunc   ;==>YY

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Or look at the TogglePause() function in the HotKeySet() example for how you can do it in one function instead of two (XX/YY).

Thanks. That's even better and easier to understand

Thanks for your help.
