hotkey help

[monte]

hello, I'm having trouble implementing a script that has a system tray and listens for hotkeys. When the appropriate hotkey is pressed the string is sent to the active window, any help is appreciated, thanks.

CODE

;

;code for tray

;

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) ;

$exititem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()

While 1

$msg = TrayGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = 0

ContinueLoop

Case $msg = $exititem

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

;

;code for hotkeys

;

HotKeySet("+#f", "FindFile")

HotKeySet("+#m", "MemoryStat")

Func FindFile()

Send ("find . -type f -mtime 1 -xdev -ls|awk '{print $7" "$8" "$9" "$10" "$11}'|sort -nr|pg")

EndFunc

Func MemoryStat()

Send ("vmstat 5 10")

EndFunc

The HotkeySet should go before the while loop.

ok, thanks bert. That works, for FindFile() but MemoryStat() doesn't get called with it's hotkey. Any ideas?

note: I changed FindFile()'s send string to "finding files" due to syntax errors on that complex unix command...until I get it figured out.

code as of now:

CODE

;

;

code for tray

;

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

$exititem= TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()

;

;

code for hotkeys

;

HotKeySet("+#f", "FindFile")

HotKeySet("+#m", "MemoryStat")

While 1

$msg = TrayGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = 0

ContinueLoop

Case $msg = $exititem

ExitLoop

EndSelect

WEnd

Func FindFile()

Send ("finding file") ; find . -type f -mtime 1 -xdev -ls|awk '{print $7" "$8" "$9" "$10" "$11}'|sort -nr|pg")

EndFunc

Func MemoryStat()

Send ("vmstat 5 10")

EndFunc

Try a differnt hotkey and function name....

Try a differnt hotkey and function name....

From the help file of HotKeySet():

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

Win+B,D,E,F,L,M,R,U; and Win+Shift+M

Better don't use the Windows Key for Hotkeys .....

Cheers

thanks, Bert. Changing the hotkey worked...the 'm' wasn't working for some reason. Thanks so much for your help!

[monte]

thanks /dev/null. I totally overlooked that...even though I've read through the help file for hotkeyset several time tonight! duh.
