sigh.. newbie question

[go0b3r]

ok well i saw this script somewhere else, but dont know how to use this?

#include <misc.au3>

HotKeySet ("{ESC}", "quitme")

While 1

For $i = 1 To 255

If _IsPressed (Hex ($i)) Then

MsgBox (0, "pressed", $i)

EndIf

Next

WEnd

Func quitme()

Exit

EndFunc

Ive tried useing other scripts like that but get errors each time. Do i need to add something?? Sorry for being so noobish lol.

What is the error(s) that your are getting with the other scripts.

I don't really get what u're trying to do...

anyway, I've amended the script abit and this works

#include <misc.au3>

HotKeySet ("{ESC}", "quitme")

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    For $i = 1 To 255
        If _IsPressed (Hex ($i, $dll)) Then
            MsgBox (0, "pressed", $i)
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

DllClose($dll)

Func quitme()
Exit
EndFunc

@Shibuya - what did you do? You don't need to open and close the dll (the _IsPressed function does it automatically), and you put the variable $dll inside the hex function as the "length" parameter. If that actually does work, I'm amazed.

@goob3r - I believe the original post was my code. It works fine if you're using (and running) the beta version of AutoIt.

-EDIT-

The message box doesn't really help right now. It should also include Hex ($i), since that's the format that the _IsPressed function uses. As for what this does, it gets the numerical and (if included) hex value of the key that is pressed.

im using v3, does it need the beta version? ITs not that script in particular im inquiring about, just almost any complex scripts on here i cant run. Also, if there somewhere that explains what those complex commands mean lol, its all gibberish to me.

for _IsPressed, you're gonna need the beta. The help file and tutorials around here are pretty good for explaining things.

@greenmachine

ooops...my bad...somehow my scite returned me this:

ERROR: Hex() [built-in] called with wrong number of args.

so i thought it could be a missing dll call like what the help file did for _IsPressed.

Notice I did say beta in that sentence. So yes, beta is good.

Also, if you don't already have it, I strongly suggest using Scite, a text editor built to be used with AutoIt. You can get it here:
