I would like to know the script to press "F1" and a msgbox would pop up on the screen.  Thanks

Edited..

Example

HotKeySet("{F1}", "Msgboxtest")

Func Msgboxtest()
    MsgBox(0,"Message","This is a message")
    EndFunc

Adlibregister, or instead of directly calling msgbox, initiate another script that opens the msgbox (so your script won't be forced to wait for the message box to close)....helpfile, search for command line parameters.

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi 1 !'')"')
Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi 2 !'')"')

AutoIt is not multi-threaded, so no running 2 functions at once. If you have multiple functions to call, you call them sequentially, or do something like this:

HotKeySet("{F1}", "Msgboxtest")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "Msgboxtest2")

While 3
    ;Keep script alive.
    Sleep(333)
WEnd

Func Msgboxtest()
    MsgBox(0, "Message", "This is a message")
EndFunc   ;==>Msgboxtest

Func Msgboxtest2()
    MsgBox(0, "Message", "This is another message")
EndFunc   ;==>Msgboxtest

hmm, is there anyway I can have it detect a certain "Text" that may pop up on the screen, that would cause it to stop all functions?

Maybe a little clarification on what exactly you're trying to do. All the questions seem rather broad, and we seem to be skipping about. Can you please define what application you're trying to manipulate, and exactly what you want to accomplish? It will greatly assist us in helping you.

For example, say a word would pop up at a certain area.  like  "Welcome" were to pop up in the middle of the screen.  when that "Welcome" were to pop up, I would like all function to stop so I could control it myself. (or the script to close)

I could also make it work if a color was detected in a specific area.

jamesch222, that is the ambiguity I'm referencing - what causes the word to pop up? Is it a window in an application (if so, what app, or a screenshot of what it looks like), is it in a web page (if so, what web page or a screen shot)? A "certain word" can pop up on screen in a number of scenarios: an embedded control, a windows pop up, a message from a web page, etc. Just saying "if this certain word appears" doesn't really help us help you :)

Say that text were to pop up on my screen, which would be a chatroom.

Is there a way to stop all functions (or close the script) when that were to pop up. (either by color, or text (prefer text)

Now you are traveling into OCR realm, which is unreliable at best.

The best I've seen OCR work is 85-90% text recognition, and you need to know exactly where to look.

You can download sharepoint designer, and install MODI.  Examples scripts forum to see how it works.

Is it not easy to simply detect when that color were to pop up on a specific spot on the screen?

Like if it were to pop up on a specific pixel at the bottom of the screen, the script would detect the color "Found" and pause, or exit after seeing this color?

You can look in the Help file under the Pixel functions, but they too are notoriously unstable. It is best to know the application, as each one is different in how you obtain and manipulate its controls.

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

Local $iCheckSum = PixelChecksum(1057, 841, 1292, 848)

While $iCheckSum = PixelChecksum(1057, 841, 1292, 848)
    Sleep(100)
    Send("{ESC 1}")
WEnd

 

it seems to end instantly regardless of any changes on the screen.  any ideas?

Global $color
 

PixelSearch(1057, 841, 1292, 848, $color)

Send("{ESC 1}")

would something like that work, if so. How to set the color?

Use the AutoIT window info tool to get the color...mouse tab when focused on your pixel.
