OnTopPeekThrough Something Went Wrong... Again.

Trying to make two functions work on one HotKeySet during testing each component worked great. However when I put it all together, something in the Func TapTimer() has failed, at least I think that's the problem. It works properly the first run, after that it seems to either stop toggling the hotkey off, or _IsPressed keeps reporting that I let go even though I'm still holding it.

Anyone know how to get it working properly?

An explanation of what it is supposed to do would be good.

 

 

If CTRL+Space are pressed for less than 3 seconds it makes the active window always on top and transparent, longer than that it will open the settings dialog. Toggles with each tap.

Just realized I need to add something to the options, redefine HotKey. Oh boy... I'll handle that after this issue gets sorted.

"If calling this function repeatedly, you should open 'user32.dll' and pass the handle.

Make sure to close the handle at end of script using DllClose."

Derped once again.

Ok then, apparently I still don't understand, I used the DLLCall but to no avail.

Updated OP with altered (still fail) code

Func TapTimer()
    HotKeySet("^{SPACE}")
    $TapTime = 0
    While _IsPressed("20")
        Sleep(1000)
        $TapTime += 1
    WEnd
    If $TapTime < 3 Then
        OnTop()
        Sleep(500)
    Else
        Options()
        Sleep(500)
    EndIf
    HotKeySet("^{SPACE}", "OnTop")
EndFunc   ;==>TapTimer

Once again it works as expected, but only once. Holding the hotkey again simply rapid fires the OnTop() function. I don't see how it can since the first line in TapTimer() is set to disable the hotkey.

Here's a repo so you might see.

#include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("^{SPACE}", "TapTimer")

While 3
    Sleep(300)
WEnd


Func TapTimer()
    HotKeySet("^{SPACE}")
    $TapTime = 0
    While _IsPressed("20")
        Sleep(1000)
        $TapTime += 1
    WEnd
    If $TapTime < 3 Then
        ConsoleWrite("OnTop()" & @LF)
        Sleep(500)
    Else

        ConsoleWrite("Options()" & @LF)
        Sleep(500)
    EndIf
    HotKeySet("^{SPACE}", "OnTop")
EndFunc   ;==>TapTimer

Func OnTop()
    ConsoleWrite("In OnTop() Function" & @LF) 
EndFunc

Yeah I noticed that bit immediately after posting the snippet with that line in it.

If you could prevent me from making a new thread, I'm now trying to understand why my slider keeps reverting to 100 and no radio is checked even though it should be reading those settings from the variables.

$Form1 = GUICreate("Settings", 290, 142)
    $Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 119, 32, 17, 17)
    If $AOT = 1 Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Radio1,$GUI_CHECKED,$GUI_CHECKED)
    Else
        GUICtrlSetData($Radio1,$GUI_UNCHECKED,$GUI_UNCHECKED)
    EndIf
    $Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 168, 32, 17, 17)
    $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("ON", 96, 32, 20, 17)
    $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("OFF", 142, 30, 24, 17)
    $Slider = GUICtrlCreateSlider(13, 72, 255, 25)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, $Transparency)
    GUICtrlSetLimit(-1, 255, 0)
    $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("-", 8, 72, 15, 17)
    $Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("+", 269, 70, 10, 17)
    $Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Always On Top", 102, 3, 89, 17)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
    $Label6 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Transparency", 106, 56, 81, 17)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
    $OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 128, 104, 33, 33)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

I think I need to start over, get a fresh look at what's in my head. See how I really want this to work, as it is I went for something simple and kept tweaking.

I thought you solved, the thread is marked as answered.

Well yeah, but one problem leads to another, and then I got new ideas for it while fixing those.
