Hotkeyset help

[NegativeNrG]

Im having problems with hotkeyset() function.

For example

$input = Inputbox("Assign a hotkey","Input your hotkey to be set")
if $input = "F1" Then
Hotkeyset("{F1}","click")
if $input = "F2" Then
Hotkeyset("{F2}","click")
If $input = "F3" Then
Hotkeyset("{F3}","click")

This script is jsut an example. my real script has GUIs and stuff.

now when i press button1 it opens up a inputbox and i enter F1 so then it assigns it to F1 as a hotkey.

now when i press button1 again to assign a new hotkey i enter F2. BUT F1 key still works.

and when i assign it to F3 F1 and F2 still works.

any solutions?

$Input = Inputbox("Assign a hotkey","Input your hotkey to be set")
If @Error = 0 Then 
   If IsDeclared('Buffer') <> 0 Then HotKeySet("{" & $Buffer & "}")
   HotKeySet("{" & $Input & "}", "Click")
   $Buffer = $Input
EndIf

First it tests is $Input box actually returned something and was not canceled. If it is, then It unbinds the previous hotkey as according to buffer, and binds a new one according to your input.

I don't understand, isn't that what you wanted?

maybe you should do 2 inputboxes

if $input <> "" then hotkeyset("{"&$input&"}", "")
$input = Inputbox("Assign a hotkey","Input your hotkey to be set")
if $input = "F1" Then Hotkeyset("{F1}","click")
if $input = "F2" Then Hotkeyset("{F2}","click")
if $input = "F3" Then Hotkeyset("{F3}","click")
if $secinput <> "" then hotkeyset("{"&$secinput&"}", "")
$secinput = Inputbox("Assign second hotkey","Input your hotkey to be set")
if $secinput = "F1" Then Hotkeyset("{F1}","click2")
if $secinput = "F2" Then Hotkeyset("{F2}","click2")
if $secinput = "F3" Then Hotkeyset("{F3}","click2")

maybe this is helping you
