Triple Click

[kyler]

Hey, I was just wondering, is there a way to detect triple clicks with autoit and then have autoit do something? I know how to use is presses and detect mouse clicks but i have no idea how to detect the timing between them. If it was possible for somebody to make something that could detect this or point me to where somebody has already done this, i would be very thankful. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure is this works for you:

While 1
$begin = TimerInit()

$i=0

    while $i<3
        If _IsPressed("01") Then
            Do
            Until not _IsPressed("01")
            $i=$i+1
    ;MsgBox(0,0,$i)
        EndIf
    WEnd

    
    $dif = TimerDiff($begin)
    if $dif<3000 Then
        MsgBox(0,"Test","Triple left click detected!")
    EndIf
    
    
WEnd

EDIT:

Oh its not work well, and I know why. The script counts 3 clicks and if they are in 3 seconds do something. For every 3 clicks the script reset itself. But when you use your PC you clicks many times and when you wont to activate something with 3 fast clicks these click may be 44, 45, 46 for the program for example - the 44 click reset counter and other two clicks will not be recognized as triple click . I will think about this problem

    if $dif2<500 Then
        If $j = 3 Then prev_song()
    EndIf
  
WEnd

Func next_song()
   ;MsgBox(0,"","")
    If WinGetTitle("iTunes") = 0 Then Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe")
    If WinGetTitle("iTunes") = 0 Then Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe")
    WinActivate("iTunes")
    Send("{MEDIA_NEXT}")
    WinSetState("iTunes","",@SW_MINIMIZE)
EndFunc

Func prev_song()
   ;MsgBox(0,"","")
    $active = WinGetTitle("")
    WinActivate("iTunes")
    Send("{MEDIA_PREV}")

EndFunc

nice way to turn an 8-button mouse into a 10-button mouse lol.

U know Itunes has a com set up and if you check the example scripts u can see that it could be alot easier
