ricky Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hello,I create a program with :HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "_Search") HotKeySet("{F3}", "_Search")When the focus is on this program, no problem, but if I work with another program, the keys are blocked only for this program. It's possible to activate this function only when this program is focused?Thanks for your help
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 3, 2015 Moderators Posted November 3, 2015 Ricky,Look at GUISetAccelerators - like HotKeys but only active when the GUI is active.M23 abberration 1 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area
JohnOne Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I'll assume by "when this program is focused" can translate to "When the application window is active".WinActive ought to do it.

ricky Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks for your answers, I already tried with GUISetAccelerators, but the program in an infinite loop.How to reset the GuiGetMsg()?For info : Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1) is set in the program @JohnOne, I don't understant what can I do with winactive. Could you please be more explicit? Edited November 3, 2015 by ricky
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 3, 2015 Moderators Posted November 3, 2015 ricky,That makes no sense at all - all AutoIt scripts have to have an infinite loop to stay alive. And what does GUIGetMsg have to do with it if you are using OnEvent mode?If you are unsure how to use GUISetAccelerators in OnEvent mode then here is the Help file example converted to that mode:expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1) Example() Func Example() GUICreate("Custom MsgBox", 225, 80) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Close") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please select a button.", 10, 10) Local $idYes = GUICtrlCreateButton("Yes", 10, 50, 65, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($idYes, "_Yes") Local $idNo = GUICtrlCreateButton("No", 80, 50, 65, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($idNo, "_No") Local $idExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 150, 50, 65, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($idExit, "_Exit") ; Set GUIAccelerators for the button controlIDs, these being Ctrl + y and Ctrl + n Local $aAccelKeys[2][2] = [["^y", $idYes], ["^n", $idNo]] GUISetAccelerators($aAccelKeys) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Display the GUI.
