you will need to use the #include

you will get the file name of the code you have posted above and do the include in your other script.

 

lets say the file name of the above code is "MonitorSwitch.au3"

you will need to include that file like so:

#include <MonitorSwitch.au3>

This will allow you to call the functions: _Monitor_ON(), _Monitor_OFF(), _IdleWaitCommit(), and _Quit()

all of which are located in the MonitorSwitch.au3 file, not the main script

however, including the file will not run it. it will simple allow the main script to use the functions defined in the MonitorSwitch.au3

this means that your hotkeys will not work unless placed inside of the main script

Yes i did include the file in my main script.But when i ran my main script only the above script  ran(i.e monitor turn off) and the rest of my main script did not.Why??Also i can use the hot keys even when they are not included in the main script.
