seres Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 hello, how do i make a func to be closed or activated with the same key here is my code HotKeySet("^+!s", "new") ;opens new HotKeySet("^+s", "new2") ;closes new Func new() run ("new") EndFunc Func new() winclose ("new") EndFunc how do i make to open and close with the same hotkeys like if new is active then if i press the hotkeys again new will close HotKeySet("^+!s", "new") Func new() run and close new EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kandie Man Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Use a global variable to determine whether or not to run or close the window when the function is called:Global $b_Run = True HotKeySet("^+!s", "new") While 1 sleep(1000) WEnd Func new() If $b_Run = True Then run ("new") $b_Run = False Else winclose ("new") $b_Run = True Endif EndFunc - The Kandie Man ;-) "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world.

The Kandie Man Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 hi thanks for the help, it workedbut what does it mean $ , why do u add an "a_run" can it yust be "run", why at the end of the "if" goes "$Run = False", adn why do u have to make it globali searched in the help file but i didnt understand it all...but what does it mean $...Look at the second paragraph here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/i...g_variables.htm...why do u add an "a_run"...I didn't use a_Run anywhere. Perhaps you mean $b_Run? That is just the name of a boolean(True or False) variable that I created. If set to True, then the function will run a program. If set to False, the same function will close the window of the program. $b_ is an organized prefix that says that the variable contains a boolean value. If it contained a string I would have named it "$s_Run" instead of "$b_Run". So if you want, you could just call it "$Run", though this is bad coding practice since you now have no idea what datatype the variable contains....why at the end of the "if" goes "$Run = False"...It sets it to false because it just ran the program. Now if you press the hotkey a second time, the "$b_Run" variable will be set to false, so the function will know that it already ran the program and that it should now close it. Upon closing the program it sets "$b_Run" to True so that when you press the hotkey later, the function knows to run the program and not close it....adn why do u have to make it global...You must make it global scope so that the function in the script can see the variable. If you create the same variable with a local scope, any function that is in the script will not know of the existance of that variable which was declared in the main part of the script.- The Kandie Man ;-) "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world.
