sending keys... help me

[Kickassjoe]

ok... here it goes...

i want to send the key that was pressed and then do the function... but it says recursion error every time i try to do this! here is some example code that doesnt work for me... plz dont make me code that i need beta for... im not at my house and my laptop cant connect to the internet... and doesnt have beta ver.

heres teh code

Hotkeyset("{insert}", "myfunc")

While 1
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func myfunc()
Send("{insert}")
FileWriteLine("test.txt", "function started"
EndFunc

This is very logical. When you press insert "myfunc" is called. In "myfunc" insert is sent

again which calls "myfunc" another time. And so it continues. To solve this you need to

disable your hotkey before using Send, for then to re-enable it afterwards.

There's also a missing paranthese in your script. Test this script instead :

Hotkeyset("{insert}", "myfunc")

While 1
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func myfunc()
Hotkeyset("{insert}")
Send("{insert}")
Hotkeyset("{insert}", "myfunc")
FileWriteLine("test.txt", "function started")
EndFunc
