_IsPressed ?

_IsPressed ?

no, _IsPressed does not wait for user key strokes, instead, it checks if user pressed the key specified in the key parameter,

what i want is, a way to wait for a key press and then get the value of the pressed key. again, like getch() method in C or C++

maybe something like this??

#include <Misc.au3>
$x = 0
$var = 1
Do
if $var = 253 then $var = 1
if _IsPressed(hex($var)) = 1 then 
    $x = 1
Else
    $var = $var+1
EndIf
until $x = 1
msgbox(0,"test","Hex number of the button pressed is: " &hex($var,2))

i did try the same logic like yours, but there are times when key press timing doesn't meet the key value in the _IsPressed, causing user to press the key two times or more, any other idea??

It's a long shot.. but you might want to take a look at MouseHook by Larry.
