Keyboard Events

[Crashed]

I'm rather new to AutoIt, and I was wondering if there was a way to detect keyboard events in the current version (v3). Right now I need to be able to detect the up and down status of a key, and from what I can tell you can't do it in AutoIt -- except for the HotKeySet function. Problem with HotKeySet is that it only allows 64 definitions, no way of checking KeyUp and KeyDown, does not detect key modifiers, so it's not what I want. If AutoIt is incapable of doing this, would anyone like to teach me how to do it in C++/C (or even do it for me )? Thanks for your time.

HI,

maybe have a look at _isPressed()

#include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    Sleep ( 250 )
    If _IsPressed("26", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(0,"_IsPressed", "End Key Pressed")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

So long,
