TAB in keyboard

[232showtime]

is there a func in autoit that works like a TAB in keyboard, like if desktop is active and you select some icon or folders then you press TAB repeatedly in your keyboard you will see the icon/folder is highlighted, cycling through your entire desktop.
like if you press windows logo in keyboard and start menu will appear then press tab repeatedly selection is changing...

[Exit]

any other way???

 

Yes using conrolsend().

_HotKey("{f2}")
Func _HotKey($hotkey = "")
    Switch @HotKeyPressed
        Case "{f2}"
            Exit 0 * MsgBox(64 + 262144, Default, "Exit", 1)
        Case Else
            If Not IsDeclared("hotkey") Then Return MsgBox(16 + 262144, Default, "No CASE statement defined for hotkey " & @HotKeyPressed)
            If HotKeySet($hotkey, "_Hotkey") = 0 Then Return MsgBox(16 + 262144, Default, "Hotkey " & $hotkey & " invalid or set by another application.")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>_HotKey

;~ point to first icon
$rc = ControlSend("[CLASS:Progman;TITLE:Program Manager]", "FolderView", "SysListView321", "{HOME}")

While 1
    $rc = ControlFocus("[CLASS:Progman;TITLE:Program Manager]", "FolderView", "SysListView321")
    Sleep(1000)
    Beep(1000, 100)
    $rc = ControlSend("[CLASS:Progman;TITLE:Program Manager]", "FolderView", "SysListView321", "{DOWN}")
WEnd

But as you can see, I used {DOWN} to navigate on desktop.

{TAB} is used to switch between Desktop, Start Button, Taskbar, System Tray,  Clock and hide desktop.

{LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN} are used to navigate between the desktop icons.

They DO NOT wrap around, so stop my script (F2) when the lowest icon of first row is reached. I was too lazy to program an ending condition,

sorry got confused with your script, are you using diffferent hotkey UDF???

_HotKey("{f2}")

[Exit]

_Hotkey() is just an embedded function with uses HotKeySet().

In this case, it is just used to define an exit key. Don't bother about.

Did you tried my script?

Here a condensed version of the script. To exit, press CNTL+BREAK

ControlSend("[CLASS:Progman]", "", "SysListView321", "{HOME}")
While Sleep(1000)
    Beep(1000, 100)
    ControlFocus("[CLASS:Progman]", "", "SysListView321")
    ControlSend("[CLASS:Progman]", "", "SysListView321", "{DOWN}")
WEnd

oh yeah silly me... was in a hurry yesterday, I haven't noticed this

Case "{f2}"
            Exit 0 * MsgBox(64 + 262144, Default, "Exit", 1)

I tried it and its working... but im still thinking how they made the script for TAB. anyways thanks for the idea...
