jimanny Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm looking for a way to have a small icon or image popup on the screen in a specified location from a keystroke or mouse pick. Do you know if AutoIt can do this somehow? I've used AutoIt in the past mostly for automating software installation so I know some but I'm no expert. Currently, I'm putting together some video tutorials and I need something to visually show when a keyboard or mouse button is pressed. The image or icon would popup into the video during recording.

jimanny Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I was just look through the GUI functionality for the first time realizing the answer was probably in there somewhere. I tried to lauch your code, but nothing happened except for a blip of the mouse cursor. I'm going study it to see if I can follow. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
