Noob In Need Of Help

[IAmTheManYo]

I'm new to Autoit and was wondering how one would make a script that sends a key everytime I press the middle mouse button.

For example,

When I press the middle mouse button I want the script to send the word "Hello" into the active window.

since your a noob ill show u an example

#include <misc.au3>
HotKeySet("{ESC}","quit")
While 1
    Sleep(25)
If _IsPressed("04") Then
    Send("hello")
EndIf
WEnd
Func quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

This seems to do the trick but I still don't understand it much. What I understand so far is.

#include <misc.au3> is for using the IsPressed fuction that it has.

HotKeySet is used to make ESC call the fuction "quit" Ex. Esc closes the program.

While is the loop

Sleep(25) is necessary to keep your processor from spazzing as it tries to run the loop 100x a second

If_IsPressed("04") is the trigger which detects the keypress, then does whatever

Func quit() is the fuction that exits the script when esc is pressed.

That's about it right?

However I don't know where the "04" part of If_IsPressed is coming from. "04" = The middle mouse button? and if so where did you get this value?

Thanks for the help btw.
