Learning the Functions

[UltraTM]

Hi,

 

my thing is i cant get it working to start a function while pressing the button and stop it when releasing the button.

That is impossible with normal functions AFAIK. You cannot stop a function once you have started it (You can pause it though, look at the documentation for Adlib function).

uff

ok and how about for example pressing "Space" until the key will be released?

Only cant get the start how to loop the stuff inside the loop for checking if the key is still pressed or not.

You don't have enough practice with AutoIt, just replace the ConsoleWrite line with Send

God damnit sorry didnt saw that

ok it was really easy damn shame on me.


Another thing.

if i use for example an keyboard letter  a or something he will also make aaaaaaa and space
how can i say a is like a hotkey and it should only send the command instead of this key also.

Sorry, I can't understand you .

 

Anyway, now you know the basic syntax, you can do anything with just a few tweaks. I cannot help you any further regarding Automation because I have never done any automation myself!

Ok what i mean is.

 

instead of the middle mouse button i use the "a" key on the keyboard.

 

This means:

 

i hold "a" then he writes  a     a     a          a    

 

This means he writes also the key i press + the example Space key i want to use.

the program when i run it with F5 to test.

mouse buttons works directly.

but other keyboard keys seams to also write something.

 

[TheDcoder]

1. Open notepad
2. Run this script:

#include <misc.au3>
While 1
    If _IsPressed(41) Then ;41 is Aplphabet A
        While _IsPressed(41) ;41 is Alphabet A
            Send(' ')
        WEnd
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

3. Activate notepad and hold "A"

You will be writing both A and Space at the same time.

Yes thats what i mean.

 

Now i made a as HotKeySet and say it should run an empty function.

 

here:

#include <Misc.au3>
HotKeySet ("{a}", "_test")

Func _test () ; Funktion _wechseln
EndFunc 

While 1
    If _IsPressed(41) Then ;04 is Middle Click
        While _IsPressed(41) ;04 is Middle Click
                    Send ("{Space}")
        WEnd
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Looks good now.
Dont know if this is a great solution ^^

I also wanted to know how can i add 2 keys.

For example with a he should write space
he does now
and with  b he write x for example

 

Means this function 2 times.

Im really trying to learn the stuff but its not so easy for me sorry for that

Nope, its not possible, multi-threading is impossible in AutoIt.

SO theres no chance to make an ElseIf or something.

So i could say if a is pressed then send space
ElseIf b is pressed send x.

 

Not both together

Yes, 2 functions cannot run in parallel.

ok
but i mean function with key "a"
or

function with key "b"

in one script

this is not possible? oO
 

both a the same time makes sence for me.

I know that its possible, but I don't know how .

 

As I have already said, I don't have any experience with Automation.

My pleasure!

Looks like i got it with some tricks for testing hehe

 

#include <Misc.au3>
HotKeySet ("{a}", "_test")
HotKeySet ("{b}", "_test2")

Func _test () 
EndFunc 

Func _test2 () 
EndFunc 

While 1
    If _IsPressed(41) Then 
        While _IsPressed(41)
                    Send ("{Space}")
        WEnd
    EndIf
    If _IsPressed(42) Then 
        While _IsPressed(42) 
                    Send ("{x}")
        WEnd
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Yihaaa.

 

Only thing is im not sure about my HotKeySet trick to prevent it from being also showed in the text editor.

Maybe theres a function inside for this
