Not possible to pass var to function using HotKeySet?

Recommended Posts

The only way that you can do it is by calling a function within a function.

Example:

Global $KEY_ENTER

HotKeySet("{ENTER}","ButtonEvent")

Func ButtonEvent()
   ButtonEventHandler($KEY_ENTER)
EndFunc

Note: Be sure to declare the var you going to use as GLOBAL

Not possible to pass var to function using HotKeySet?

Nope. But it all depends what you want to do.

In my case, I use hotkeys to set a variable named $Hotkey and $Hotkey is evaluated at different points parts in the program like so:

If $Hotkey Then ConsoleWrite("Number "&$Hotkey&" is the winner!")

And here's some typical code to setup the hotkeys ... read the comments!

Func Set_HOTKEY()
For $i = 1 to 8; Keys 1 to 8 on the keyboard
  HotKeySet($i,"Def_HOTKEY"); Notice all point to the same function - There's a trick!
Next
EndFunc

Func Def_HOTKEY()
If @HotKeyPressed > 0 And @HotKeyPressed < 9 Then; @HotKeyPressed can be used to set a variable
  $Hotkey = @HotKeyPressed; In this case the variable is the hotkey pressed. You could use switch
Else; and set up different variables/functions depending on what you want to do and what key is
  $Hotkey = 0; pressed ... 
EndIf; The check on the first line is superfluous but you never know;)
EndFunc

Don't forget to set Global $Hotkey at the top of your program!
