ispressed() Question

[pecloe]

Hello everyone

Below is part of a script I am writing. It works but I'm wondering is there a better way to do this. Press 'pause' then release do stuff. Press 'pause' then release go back. Too many Do-Untils. I don't want the key to repeat. Thank you.

Code:

Case _Ispressed('13');;; look for [pause] botton to be pressed

Do

Sleep(10)

Until Not _Ispressed('13');;; wait for release

_Saveposition();;;func

GUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE)

Do

Sleep(10)

Until _Ispressed('13');;; wait for it to be pressed again

GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)

Do

Sleep(10)

Until Not _Ispressed('13');;; wait for release

ExitLoop;;; back to "MAIN GUI"

straight from help

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

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

Thank you Valuater. I saw that once and couldn't find it again. In the future I will spend much more time in the help files before contacting this forum.

Glad i could help

help has very good demo's at the bottom of each page

on your computer press the following

Start > All Programs > Autoit v3 > Autoit Help File

when that loads then press the "search" tab

then type in "?your search?" and press "List Topics"

Good afternoon

I'll try this one more time. I tried Valuater's suggestion with the pause hotkey and that is not what I want. Hotkey is erratic, if you hold it down it flickers. I only need the pause key for one spot in the script, not the whole thing. The code I enclosed works exactly as needed I was simply looking for a better way without 4 do-until loops.

Thank you
