Hotkeyset: Can I Pass A Parameter To The Function?

[Todd Bauer]

My current code is this...

HotKeySet ("!^t","WriteTrigger") ;call the WriteTrigger fuction when Ctrl-Alt-T is pressed

I wish I could do this...

HotKeySet ("!^t","WriteTrigger("TriggerA")") ;call the WriteTrigger fuction with "TriggerA" parameter when Ctrl-Alt-T is pressed

I tried using double quotes and stuff such as...

HotKeySet ("!^t","WriteTrigger(""TriggerA"")")

but it doesn't like that either. I am I having a brain problem, or is this not supported?

Thanks in advance.

It's not supported. HotKeySet (Call and AdlibEnable as well) only take the name of a callback function.

OK, thanks. Just wanted to make sure before I make my code overly bloated. I suppose the function can just call another function with the parameter I want.

use:

HotKeySet ("!^t","WriteTrigger1") 

while 1
sleep(10)
wend


func WriteTrigger($x)
msgbox(1,$x,"")
endfunc

func WriteTrigger1()
WriteTrigger("TriggerA")
endfunc

Once I did myself this question.

It would not be fine that could be passed arguments?

For don't create more user functions in the script. (as scriptkitty's example)

[Todd Bauer]

scriptkitty,

That's exactly what I did. Defined a set of hotkeys that called a function that called the 'real' function the way I wanted it. Works great, just a few more lines of code than I want.
