Extra Mouse Buttons

[Shyke]

I was wondering how I could get AutoIt to allow my fifth mouse button to be targetable to send the "r" key?

HotKeySet("{space}", "reload"); I want this to be my fifth mouse button that triggers...

While 1
    Sleep(1)
Wend

Func Reload()
    Send("/")
EndFunc

Depending on the mouse, there should be software that allows you to re-program the buttons on the mouse. Such a program would like allow you to send a keystroke when a mouse button is pressed.

allow you to send a keystroke when a mouse button is pressed.

After you've done that... check out his subtle hint for IsPressed.Au3 (If I'm not mistaken it's in the newest beta under #include <Misc.au3>.

I wasn't hinting at anything. The solution I was trying to provide was that its not necessary to use AutoIt at all to convert a mouse button event into a keyboard event provided there is software for that particular mouse which offers the functionality to re-bind the buttons. I know that SetPoint is the program for Logitech mice. Most mice with multiple buttons will provide such software.
