Pause Script breaks GetKEyState

[StefanM]

I have a very easy script, but a bigger problem with it.

I try to detect the state of NumLock

HotKeySet("{NUMLOCK}", "_NUMLOCKPRESS")

Global Const $VK_NUMLOCK = 0x90
Func _LockKeyGetState()
    Local $ret
    $ret = DllCall("user32.dll","long","GetKeyState","long",$VK_NUMLOCK)
    Return $ret
EndFunc

Global Const $VK_NUMLOCK = 0x90
Func _LockKeyGetState()
    Local $ret
    $ret = DllCall("user32.dll","long","GetKeyState","long",$VK_NUMLOCK)
    Return $ret[0]
EndFunc

The function returns 1 or 0. Working fine.

The script is in a while loop, all 20 secs it checks the state of it.... working fine.

While 1
    Local $test
    $test = _LockKeyGetState()
    ConsoleWrite("State: " & $test & @CRLF)
    Sleep(20000)
WEnd

But.... As soon as I pause the script and resume, the result is always 0. Returns never the correct state.

As my computer goes to hibernate/Sleep from time to time, the same thing happen. It returns always 0 except I restart the program.

How can I fix that issue?

Well i dont know why it is not working after a sleep or pause. But there is some problem with key detection until you dont press them in some case.

 

I guess you could Use a key press detection then sleep 20 sec and press numlock after, that would make your script more stable i guess.

 

Something like that :

 

#include <Misc.au3>

If _IsPressed ("90") Then ;Numlock pressed

Sleep (20000) ;Then sleep

Send ("{NUMLOCK on}");Then send numlock again

EndIf

Also it whould dodge the fact that it unactive numlock if you still need it.

StefanM,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

Please post your entire script (see here how to do it) otherwise we can do little but guess.
