HotKeySet interfering with other application when window is not active


Recommended Posts

this is my first question on this website forum.

after compiling autoit program..the program is interfering with other application even when the GUI window is not active.

For example. Bellow codes are running on my program. If I want type in something on other window like my email or typing something on a notepad "s" "g" "w" "j" "r" characters won't appear on notepad or browser or any other applications. If this is a bug is there is any patch to download and fix it quickly or any method to prevent this from happening? 

HotKeySet("{s}", "focus1")
HotKeySet("{g}", "focus2")
HotKeySet("{w}", "focus3")
HotKeySet("{j}", "focus4")
HotKeySet("{r}", "focus5")
func focus1()
GUICtrlSetState($Combo2, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc


func focus2()
GUICtrlSetState($Combo4, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc


 func focus3()
GUICtrlSetState($Combo6, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc
 func focus4()
GUICtrlSetState($Combo8, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc
 func focus5()
GUICtrlSetState($Combo10, $GUI_FOCUS)
EndFunc

Hotkeys are universal, meaning they'll fire no matter what window is active, even if none are.

You should probably look at using GUISetAccelerators if your script uses a GUI.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
