HotkeySet - Mouse buttons

[Hawkysoft]

Ok since I searched for the last hours to find a definitive answer.

Is it possible to do a HotkeySet on a mousebutton? Preferable xButton1/xButton2

Also why isn't this just standard included in the hotkeyset as {xButton1} {xButton2} and would that be hard to include it?

If there is no standard solution is there maybe a UDF which can do this? or maybe a dll call in a hotkeyset?

Hope someone have some answers for me

with regards,

Hawkysoft

Hi Hawkysoft,

  I assume you are referring to the additional function buttons on your mouse?

I am not sure how you would use a HKS directly for this but you can set up your Mouse Buttons to Emulate say the F2 Key and tie the HKS to that key.

Hey billo,

Thanks for your answer, that's basically my backup plan

People adviced me not to use the _ispressed method, since that would be slower in performance. That's basically why I'm looking for a original/better function

Just hope the dev's from autoit will implement it in HotKeySet ;/

Mouse buttons aren't keys, so you can't set them like keys, _IsPressed is what you need regardless of performance. Unless you want to start dealing with Windows messages (GUIRegisterMsg for a hint).

Τhey actually are keys and you can set them as keys. You can register it's hex same as another key and then use hotkeyset function.

It will work with the actual key and the set mouse key.

than what is wrong with this?

HotKeySet("05", "Test")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func Test()
    MsgBox(4096, "", "This is a message.")
EndFunc

tried "0x05" as well

HotKeySet(0x05, "Test")

Func Test()
MsgBox(4096, "", "This is a message.")
EndFunc

Looks like you're confusing the _IsPressed and Send syntax

Using your code HotKeySet(0x05, "Test") makes the msgbox appear on keypress '5'

Read what i wrote in the previous post. I did it and it works for me Edited November 18, 2013 by AutID

Tried this at work, but seems to be not working either, it pops up on the number key, do i need to registrate the hex key first on a different way?

Will test this also when im at home since thats a more reliable AI version

What hotkeys do is set different keystrokes on different buttons of your keyboard. Which means you can press keystroke 9 and work as keystroke 5

Try registering you mouse keystroke to an other one of the keyboard and then use HotKeySet to that button.

You can even do it with your mouse button i think but i am not sure. I haven't test it yet.

Searching the forum I found >this.

And >this (works on MouseWheel)

Or even better: >This

What did you find when you searched the forum?

I only found something about guiregistermsg, however I'm not sure how to do this though ;/

How about the threads I suggested?

You'd actually be wrong about that, your script doesn't work with the mouse, it only works when you press the number 5 key.

My script isn't what i wrote. It is an example. Registering the mouse button isn't in that small piece of code. I just copied the OP's example and removed the quotes on the HotKeySet function arround the hex. If you read carefully what i am saying then you may understand what i mean

Hey, sorry for the late reply

Well the hook.dll seems to be interesting however I cant find the exact hex code for the xbutton1 and xbutton2 like they done in the source script

the.

the mousewheel i've tried but didn't get it to work either with xbutton1/2

and the mouseonevent is more the thing that i try to avoid having a switch with cases (else would have used ispressed )

Than how to register the xbutton1/2 on the right method? I thought you had it working like this?

You posted it, so I assumed you'd tested it. Your script doesn't work as written, so why did you post it? I read what you wrote in this thread, and you've never explained EXACTLY how you're supposed to use HotKeySet with a mouse button. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to what it is you're saying as to how to do it, because you've given no information that's relevant.

I know some things are difficult for some people to understand but as an mvp you should know that you can set your mouse buttons however you want via the mouse settings without even having to use autoit for that part.

Then you can use hotkeyset function to the key you set your mouse. For example if you set your mouse button as keystroke 5 then hotkeyset with keystroke 5 would work. This is the easy way.

Having a mouse with more than left, right and mouse wheel buttons means that you have probably a driver installed for the mouse with the setting running on the background. Chek them out.

Thanks for your answer, but if I wanted to remap the mousekeys I wouldnt have to use the hex keys at all... but the point is I dont want to remap em every time..

So if anyone knows how to get this done without remapping of buttons on the mouse nor having ispressed methodes please let me know.

Also if theres a dll out there to do this for xbutton1/2 im happy to hear about that as well
