dv8 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I have laptop computer - HP-Compaq nx9020. It has 5 "Quick" keys on top of the keyboard. I want to make a script to watch for these keys and launch an application of my choice, when one of them is pressed. The problem is that I don't know the HEX codes of these keys, and I can't use _IsPressed(). Is there any function which can give me the HEX code of the pressed button? Or any other way to get these?

CyberSlug Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Does the laptop manual mention any software that lets you configure those keys? It's quite possible that those buttons are handled by a special driver completely separate from the keyboard.

But I don't like it very much. Free Remote Desktop Software For Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dv8 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 well what do the keys do if they launch a specific program or something you can just check if the process is runnign or something ? just an optionThe HP program can customize the action of 3 of the 5 quick keys. And it takes about 5MB of the memory, because it has tons of other rubbish I don't use.If I make a script to check for the processes launced by the HP program, that means, that the mem usage will be 5MB + the memory of my script.My goal was to make a "light" script to customize all 5 keys.
