Set Random Keystrokes at inputbox


Recommended Posts

hello, I want to set in the inputbox field random key from the keyboard to which the function will be assigned, for example F4 function start notepad ALT + A function start notepad for one function. Thank you for any help.

mar3011,

Can you explain more clearly what it is you are trying to do as that makes no sense to me at all.

What inputbox? Why do both "functions" start Notepad? Help us to help you by giving us more information.

mar3011,

You have already said that - but it is no clearer a second time. I am out of here.

I'm with Melba, I don't understand the intent. Are you saying that, regardless of which key the user hits, it would open Notepad?

Perhaps one of these might help, especially the second link.

That's awesome, but you still haven't answered the question - what are you trying to accomplish? And why randomize the keys? That is going to make the task nigh impossible.

I think I see what he's trying to do, behind the apparent language barrier:  A message box saying "press A to continue", next time it might say "press K to continue", etc., with the letter choice being randomized.  Such a dialog might be intended to force the user to pay attention to the dialog every time rather than just pressing keys by rote.  Using it to start Notepad is probably just an example.  Doesn't look that difficult.

Global $sInput = InputBox("Set Hotkey", "Enter the letter you want to use as a Hotkey!")
HotKeySet($sInput, "_Hotkey")
HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Exit")
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Hotkey()
    MsgBox(0, "", "Hotkey pressed")
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc
I found what I was looking for but now I want it to work and open something like  the Notepad example ,after press any keys.

In this example:-
    the hot key "Alt+h" allows you to set your own hot key to start notepad; and,
    the hot key "Alt+r" automatically sets a random hot key for you to start notepad.

HotKeySet("!h", "_SetHotkey") ; Press Alt+h to initilize hotkey
HotKeySet("!r", "_RandHotkey") ; Press Alt+r for random hotkey
HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Exit")
Global $sInput

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd


Func _RandHotkey()
    HotKeySet($sInput) ; Erase any previous HotKey.
    Local $aKey = ["!", "+", "^", ""], $aKeyDiscription = ["Alt+", "Shift+", "Ctrl+",""] ; Key and its description arrays
    Do
        Local $iPreKey = Random(0, 3, 1)
        Local $iPostKey = Chr(Random(97, 122, 1)) ; Gets one English lowercase alphabet ASCII character.
        $sInput = $aKey[$iPreKey] & $iPostKey
    Until $sInput <> "!h" Or $sInput <> "!r" ; Will not overwrite existing two HotKeys

    MsgBox(0, "Set Hotkey", 'New Hotkey is now "' & $aKeyDiscription[$iPreKey] & $iPostKey & '".')
    HotKeySet($sInput, "_Hotkey")
EndFunc   ;==>_RandHotkey

Func _SetHotkey()
    HotKeySet($sInput) ; Erase any previous HotKey.
    $sInput = InputBox("Set Hotkey", 'Enter the letter (e.g. "!a") you want to use as a Hotkey (e.g. Alt+a).')
    HotKeySet($sInput, "_Hotkey")
EndFunc   ;==>_SetHotkey

Func _Hotkey()
    Run("NotePad")
EndFunc   ;==>_Hotkey

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
