trying to use IsPressed_UDF.au3 with a function key

[00pontiac]

I've written a script that sends a '1' then '2' then '3' then '4' then 'Esc' each time a key is triggered

my script is working with the key combination of Ctrl 8 to trigger it

I want to use the function key "F9" instead but I don't get what I'm doing wrong

#include<IsPressed_UDF.au3>

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 50)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 50)

$x = 0

While 1
;If _IsPressed("011") And _IsPressed("038") Then ; <---- working
If _IsFuncKeyPressed() Then ; <---- blank right now i know. have tried every combination I can think of
If $x = 4 Then
Send("{Esc}")
$x = 0
Else
$x = $x + 1
Send ( $x )
EndIf
EndIf
Wend

Edit: never mind, I figured this part out, my logitech mouse was sending the control, not my script, but still need a little help with the function key

after posting I ran into the control key getting stuck down. first I took the Ctrl key completely out, is not needed. was still getting stuck so I searched and found this:

ControlSend("", "", "", "text", 0)

it doesn't work perfectly tho... works sometimes, not every time...

Excuse me? What are you talking about?

[00pontiac]

pretty easy to understand really.

I don't get it either. Are you saying that you are waiting on help, lost interest, don't need it anymore, Mayans ate your keyboard or what?

I'm saying that I've given up any hope of getting any help here, I'm a "noob" experienced users have better things to do. that attitude is abundantly clear from reading this help section.

sorry, just discouraged... warn me ban me berate me whatever... just lost interest i guess.

00pontiac,

It is unfortunate that you feel that way. My impression is that your previous threads were responded to adequately. This is a volunteer resource and as such you may have some delay in getting an answer. Have some patience and use the lag time for other tasks.

00pontiac,

I've given up any hope of getting any help here,, I'm a "noob" experienced users have better things to do. that attitude is abundantly clear from reading this help section

I get really quite annoyed whenever I read this sort of whining excuse. I (and plenty of other members) help anyone we can, regardless of their experience level, but we cannot be everywhere - nor do we have the time or interest to read every single thread. Remember this is not a 24/7 support forum - those who answer are only here because they like helping others and have some time to spare. You have to wait until someone who knows something about your particular problem, and is willing to help, comes online.

In this case, why have you not posted in the IsPressed UDF thread itself? Most of us use the built-in _IsPressed command - do you expect us to install and play with a new UDF just to help you?

And why on earth should you be banned? Berated like this for acting as you have done, certainly, but you are quite at liberty to state your opinion - just do not expect us to agree.

Edit: Changed wording to be less "me"-centred - because I know lots of others help out too.

This works perfectly for me using the native _IsPressed command - does it for you?

#include <Misc.au3>

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

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1

    If _IsPressed("78", $hDLL) = 1 Then

        For $i = 1 To 3
            Send($i)
        Next
        Send("{ESC}")

        While _IsPressed("78", $hDLL)
            Sleep(10)
        WEnd

    EndIf

    Sleep(10)

WEnd

Func On_Exit()
    ConsoleWrite("ESC pressed!" & @CRLF)
    DllClose($hDLL)
    Exit
EndFunc
