[ken82m]

okay here is my script, I tried launching the compiled exe while holding down either control key and it still processes the commands for If $Signon = 1. what am I doing wrong?

Code is below

Thanks guys,

Kenny

If @OSTYPE = "WIN32_WINDOWS" OR @OSVersion = "WIN_NT4" Then

MsgBox(4096+16, "CWD Brunswick Label System", "This application requires Windows 2000 or XP.")

Exit

EndIf

$DOMAIN = EnvGet("USERDOMAIN")

$USER = @USERNAME

Global $Signon

$Signon = 1

HotKeySet("{LCTRL}", "NoSignon")

HotKeySet("{RCTRL}", "NoSignon")

Sleep(500)

If FileExists(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Shutdown.exe") = 0 Then

MsgBox(4096+16,"CWD Brunswick Label System", "Shutdown.exe could not be found, automatic logoff will be disabled.")

EndIf

LaunchApp()

Do

$RC = ""

$RC = MsgBox(4096+4+48,"CWD Brunswick Label System", "You have closed the Easy-Label application. Would you like to re-open the application?", 10)

If $RC = 6 Then LaunchApp()

Until $RC = 7

Run ( @ScriptDir & "\Shutdown -l", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE )

Exit

Func LaunchApp()

Run ( @ScriptDir & "\easy.exe", @ScriptDir, @SW_MAXIMIZE )

If $Signon = 1 Then

WinWait("EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On")

WinActivate("EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On")

ControlDisable ( "EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On", "", "Edit3" )

ControlDisable ( "EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On", "", "&New Password (OPTIONAL)" )

ControlSend ( "EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On", "", "Edit1", "PRINT", 1 )

ControlSend ( "EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On", "", "Edit2", "PRINT", 1 )

Sleep(500)

ControlClick ( "EASYLABEL Platinum - User Sign On", "", "OK" , "left" , 1 )

EndIf

$Signon = 0

EndFunc

from the helpfile:

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

Single keys of a-z or A-Z. At least one Alt, Ctrl, or Win modifier is required with these keys.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete It is reserved by Windows

F12 It is also reserved by Windows, according to its API.

NumPad's Enter Key Instead, use {Enter} which captures both Enter keys on the keyboard.

Win+B,D,E,F,L,M,R,U; and Win+Shift+M These are built-in Windows shortcuts. Note: Win+B and Win+L might only be reserved on Windows XP and above.

Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Win These are the modifier keys themselves!

Other Any global hotkeys a user has defined using third-party software, any combos of two or more "base keys" such as '{F1}{F2}', and any keys of the form '{LALT}' or '{ALTDOWN}'.

1) You can check the return value of the HotKeySet to see if it worked.

2) Hotkeys only take effect after the script is running. If a key is already pressed down when you launch a script, the hotkey will not register until you lift up and press down again.

Hope that helps

does anyone know of anyway to check for a key that has been depressed before the script starts. I don't care what key it is it can be escape for all i care

This script is going to be loaded as a custom shell instead of loading explorer.exe.
