Question about autoit capabilities...

[Guest VxD]

I have a question about the capabilites of autoit...

1) Is it possible to monitor (hook) a keypress such that, for example... Lets say a user starts a macro that "waits" for a certain key (like F3) to be pressed. When pressed, the macro then performs some actions (sends text...clicks some stuff). Is it possible to perform this monitoring function from within autoit?

Thanks in advance
