HotKeySet in console app?

[TheAutomator]

Hello, I'm having some troubles using hotkeyset() in a console window..

Is it my fault or is it just not possible?

(using the 'Console.au3' UDF here)

#include <Console.au3>
HotKeySet('{ESC}','stop')

Global $input

While True
Cout("Enter your name: ")
cin($input)
system("pause")
WEnd

Func stop()
exit
EndFunc

Thanks.

Your while loop is preventing the HotKeySet from working AFAICT. Try using While 1, Select and Case in your loop instead of While True.

MBALZESHARI,

Your while loop is preventing the HotKeySet from working AFAICT. Try using While 1, Select and Case in your loop instead of While True.

 

So you suggest I don't use "While True", ok.

This is the code then:

#include <Console.au3>
HotKeySet('{ESC}','stop')


Global $input


While 1
Cout("Enter your name: ")
cin($input)
system("pause")
WEnd


Func stop()
exit
EndFunc

I can't see how I can use "Select Case" in this little script and hotkeyset() works fine when I use it in other scripts

with a "While True" loop...

Thanks for the reply.

It works, but can not seem to interrupt the console window, sorry, don't know why.

 

If you hit escape before enter, it does exit.

 

EDIT:

 

I think MBALZESHARI may have been a little sleepy when writing the reply

maybe   

so hit escape before enter does exit. hmmm   

do you think I have to ask the writer of that udf himself or would that be against the forum rules you think?

Wouldn't bother him for such a matter.

Someone will come along who knows soon enough.
