rimmi2002 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi, I have used auto it for a long time to automate many tasks for me. I have multiple hotkeys set up to do certain actions. I recently migrated from Windows 7 64bit to Windows 10 64 bit. My prescription works well for the most part and Windows 10. However I have noticed when certain windows are active for example the dragon dictate dock Or a videogame botting program I have, none of the hotkeys work. Do I need to give these windows some special privileges for these to work? If I click away from these windows to a different window the hotkeys work fine.

Exit Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hotkeys can only be assigned to one task. If another task has already set the hotkey, hotkeyset () sets @error. This is the case here. Some programs only set the hotkeys when they are in the foreground and delete them when they are in the background. So always check the return code of hotkeyset(). Here is a small example: _Hotkeyset("#d","_Hotkeys") ; is reserved by windows to hide/show desktop _Hotkeyset("x","_Hotkeys") ; is not defind as CASE. Try it. _Hotkeyset("{F2}","_Hotkeys") ; display a message _Hotkeyset("{F3}","_Hotkeys") ; exit script While Sleep(1000) WEnd Func _Hotkeyset($Key, $Func) If HotKeySet($Key, $Func) = 0 Then Return MsgBox(64+262144, " Hotkeyset Error", "Hotkey " & $Key & " already set by another task.", 0) EndFunc ;==>_Hotkeyset Func _Hotkeys() Switch @HotKeyPressed Case "{F2}" MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "You pressed F2",2) Case "{F3}" Exit MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "Bye, Bye",2) Case "#d}" MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "WIN+D will never match.",0) Case Else MsgBox(64+262144, Default, "Hotkey: " & @HotKeyPressed & " is not defined as CASE.", 0) EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>_Hotkeys App: Au3toCmd UDF: _SingleScript() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmi2002 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 In that case will the hotkey only not work when I have the window in the foreground, Or not work universally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 You always have to check the returncode of Hotkeyset (). If an error occurs, you must issue a warning message indicating which hotkey is already in use. Then you have to close the program in question and then repeat the Hotkeyset (). Or you change your program and use hotkeys that are never used by other programs. App: Au3toCmd UDF: _SingleScript() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
