hotkeyset ?

[Travis]

So i use the following function in this program I am writing

Hotkeyset("{ASC 097},"randomfunc")

For some reason, the ascii character 097 (which corresponds to the lower-case alphabet character "a") only wants to work when I type a CAPITAL A (shift + A)

If I change the ascii code to the proper code for a capital A, it works fine just like it should. But in this case I can't seem to capture a lowercase letter.

Here is the program that I have so far, you can run it and I would be interested in what results you get.

Hotkeyset("{ASC 097}","randomfunc")

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func randomfunc()

msgbox(0,"","detected a stroke")

;$file = fileopen("c:\users\travis\desktop\test.txt",1)

;filewriteline($file,"a")a

EndFunc

Note that I've commented-out the lines that involve writing a file to your (likely) non-existant desktop for user: Travis.

Key log with:

HotKeySet( "a", "randomfunc" )

OK I will try that in a few minutes.

I just followed the help file and it said to use a three number ascii code for letters in the format {ASC 123}, etc.

{ASC 097} is the right code for 'a'.

lopolop, indeed is the right ascii code. But it doesn't want to capture the a character for some reason. The capital A character captures fine on both codes (like, the correct code and 097).

But I just used Hotkeyset("a","randomfumc") and it worked fine. Maybe the help file was not updated since an older version of autoit or something like that.
