Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
        If _IsPressed("10", $hDLL) Then
                ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was pressed." & @CRLF)
                ; Wait until key is released.
                While _IsPressed("10", $hDLL)
                        Sleep(250)
                WEnd
                ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was released." & @CRLF)
        ElseIf _IsPressed("1B", $hDLL) Then
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "_IsPressed", "The Esc Key was pressed, therefore we will close the application.")
                ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Sleep(250)
WEnd

DllClose($hDLL)

 

Without code _IsPressed("52", $hDLL)  is it possible to detect key press using normal write _IsPressed("R", $hDLL)  ?

Do not think so, because you cannot translate string for eg. (Shift Key was pressed) or for numpad.

You can somewhat use _StringToHex as _IsPressed(_StringToHex("R"), $hDLL) with usage of capital letters. On the other hand you can try to make your own function for key to letter translation/mapping and use it instead.

... or  _IsPressed(Hex(Asc("R"), 2), $hDLL)  as well ...

We get these kinds of "how do I create a MsgBox without using MsgBox" questions a lot. My first question is always why you need do avoid doing things the best practice way?

@JLogan3o13sir, for hex code i have to remember or check hex to ascii list. so i think if i can use ascii character it will be easy for me to check which key i assigned as hotkey.
