If a key is pressed send a different key

[Guest]

We have a special application that runs in the UK. Some of our USA based clients use this software as well, but doing some functions, the user needs to press the "F16" button. In the UK this responds to the "Shift F4" key. How would I go about writing an autoit code to check for the key "Shift F4" and if pressed send "F16"?

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance...

This works for me...

#include <misc.au3>
While 1
    If _IsPressed("10") And _IsPressed("73") Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(20)
WEnd
MsgBox(64, "Shift-F4", "Aha! You pressed it!")

WEnd
MsgBox(64, "Shift-F4", "Aha! You pressed it!")

I used that code and placed it into a folder with the Misc.au3 file and compiled the exe but I am receiving the following:

Line 0 (File "Y:\Applications\autoit-v3\Scripts\F16\F16.exe"):

If _IsPressed("10") and _IsPressed("73") Then ExitLoop

If ^ ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

The function _IsPressed() is a UDF contained in the include file misc.au3. Did you #include <misc.au3>???

It is also fully documented in the help file. You did read the help file, right?!

I checked the Misc.au3 file and it was very basic. I didn't see the function _IsPressed() in it.

#include-once

Downloaded the newest stable version and it worked like a charm.. Thanks.
