HotKeySet question

[Xink]

Hi,

I use HotKeySet with the ENTER button to do an action in my script.

But when this script is not active, i still want to use the ENTER key in windows.

It looks like the enter key is reserved for this script only and i cannot use ENTER key anymore when this script is still running.

regards,

Xink

This is correct, when a key is bound to a function with hotkeyset, it loses it previous function. A good work around for this would be to use _IsPressed().

Another way would be to add these 2 lines at the start of your script

Global $hkSet = false;

AdlibEnabled("sethotkey",500);

Remove the HotKetSet you have at the moment

and then add this function

Func sethotKey()
if WinActive("My App Title") and $hkSet = false then
  Hotkeyset("{ENTER}","functionname")
  $hkSet = true
endif

if (not WinActive("My App Title")) and $hkSet = true then
 HotKeySet("{ENTER}")
 $hkSet = false
endif


endfunc

This way, whenever you program becomes active it will use the Enter key, and release it when another program is being used.
