Hotkeyset

[JMRA]

Dear all,

This is my first topic and I want to say that I found a very incredible and powerfull tool - AUTOIT, for that I want to congratulate and thank to all contributors.

My main question is about using HotKeySet. Running example I am not able to set HotKey using compiled version.

I just need to echo <> when I press < but it does nor work. Can you help me ?

Thanks

if you have a script... show us, maybe we can find the error as to why it wont compile

My guess, is that you need the script to run in the background at all times? My next guess is you did the mistake I did.

So you need this in your script:

While 1
Sleep (100)
WEnd

Here is an example of one of mine. Note the ORDER of the While loop and where HotKeySet is located.

HotKeySet("^q", "Activate_ACT")
HotKeySet("^w", "Activate_Eudora")

;;;;;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;


;********************************************************************************

Func Activate_ACT()
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",1)
$title = WinGetTitle("")
WinWait("ACT!","")
If Not WinActive("ACT!","") Then WinActivate("ACT!","")
WinWaitActive("ACT!","")
Return
EndFunc


Func Activate_Eudora()
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",1)
$title = WinGetTitle("")
WinWait("Eudora","")
If Not WinActive("Eudora","") Then WinActivate("Eudora","")
WinWaitActive("Eudora","")
Return
EndFunc

Here is what I have done

HotKeySet("{<}", "keys")

While 1

Sleep (100)

WEnd

Func keys()

Send("{<}{>}")

EndFunc

Thank you

Here is what I have done

HotKeySet("{<}", "keys")

While 1

Sleep (100)

WEnd

Func keys()

Send("{<}{>}")

EndFunc

Thank you

Maybe

HotKeySet("{F7}", "keys")
While 1
Sleep (100)
WEnd

Func keys()
    Send("<>")
   EndFunc

Or if you want to keep it as <:

HotKeySet("<", "keys")
While 1
Sleep (100)
WEnd

Func keys()
    HotKeySet ("<")
    Send("<>")
    HotKeySet ("<", "keys")
EndFunc

Why the second HotKeySet?

[nfwu]

Step by step (original code):

1. You press "<"

2. It calls function keys()

3. Function keys() presses "<" which calls function keys() again.

4. The newly called Function keys() presses "<" which calls function keys() yet again.

And so on... and on... and on.... (infinite recursion)

Therefore, you must do as greenmachine did. Use

HotKeySet ("<")

to disable the hotkey before re-enabling it with

HotKeySet ("<", "keys")

Oh.

[JMRA]

Thank you to everybody for code you have sent.

Problem was with my lack of understanding about sintaxe. I hope to have learned.

Best regards,
