Hotkeyset

[Trait]

Hey, sorry if this has been asked allready... Didn't see it when I did a search.

Anyone know if it's possible to set the middle mouse button as a hotkey to start a function?

Thanks a million guys!

I do not know if it can be done directly but the following will work

#Include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("{F9}", "ShowMessage")

While 1
if _IsPressed(04) Then
    send("{F9}")
EndIf
WEnd

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

I know there are probably better ways to do it but no-one else was answering.

There probably isn't any fantastic solution to achieving this with AutoIt because AutoIt doesn't take advantage of 'hooks' to watch mouse events. Consequently you would need to use a loop (like BigDod suggested) which will eat unnecessary CPU.

I don't like to plug non-AutoIt software here but you may want to look at PowerPro, which will allow you to assign all sorts of actions to all sorts of events including middle click, bump screen side/corner, caption double-click, right mouse drag down etc.

Your action can then trigger an event such as running an AutoIt script.
