how to do this programming?

[jing]

I want to write a program that can react to the user's action including mouse click, mouse release, and key pressed.

The following code is an example that can achieve my goal(Thanks, Larry). However, it reacts to mouse movement as well, which I don't want.

Anybody can give me a hint how to achieve my goal perfectly?

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Terminate")

Dim $last_active = 0

Dim $timer = TimerInit()

While (1)

$not_idle = _CheckIdle($last_active)

If $not_idle <> 0 Then $timer = TimerInit()

ToolTip(Int(TimerDiff($timer)/1000))

Sleep(200)

WEnd

Func _CheckIdle(ByRef $last_active, $start = 0)

$struct = DllStructCreate("uint;dword");

DllStructSetData($struct, 1, DllStructGetSize($struct));

If $start Then

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct))

$last_active = DllStructGetData($struct, 2)

Return $last_active

Else

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct))

If $last_active <> DllStructGetData($struct, 2) Then

Local $save = $last_active

$last_active = DllStructGetData($struct, 2)

Return $last_active - $save

EndIf

EndIf

EndFunc ;==>_CheckIdle

Func _Terminate()

Exit

EndFunc ;==>_Terminate

nobody can give me a word?

GetLastInputInfo API function can't do that, so maybe some workaround

For example try to test Mouse position by MouseGetPos() - if changes mouse position then ignore GetLastInputInfo.

that is not a straight forward way to do that.

There must be some function or functions can directly detect the key press or mouse click.

Anybody knows that?
