Does AutoIt have an IsPressed Function?

for keyboard hits?

[JustinReno]

I don't know, does it?

[weaponx]

April Fools day isn't for almost a week. Its in the help file under UDF's / Misc...

[Swift]

I wonder... _IsPressed() maybe?

Or Maybe HotKeySet()?

Are those functions?

[ludocus]

mhmm..

in my help file is a command called:

IsPressed()

I wonder what it is for...

[Nbanonimous]

i typed in IsPressed in the help file

and nothing came up

maybe i forgot the ()

i actually checked the help file this time

i cant find it?

[Swift]

Type:

_IsPressed

And...boom

[Nbanonimous]

in the script editor?

edit

nvm got it

how do you work that stuff?

like i want it to check if Control is pressed

and if it is.. then execute something

You have to include the UDF that _IsPressed is contained in. If you search for _IsPressed in the help file, you will find all the details you need.

HotKeySet works just fine for this.

[Swift]

HotKeySet takes over everything... _IsPressed() doesn't

how would u work it

heres my situation

in my lab

theres this kid that comes around and sneakily hits control alt delete + enter + enter

which logs me out... while im working

and i wanted to make a script that as soon as Control is hit

it does something to stop it...

Ctrl + Alt + Delete is reserved, even when you use BlockInput() this command is allowed.

I would rig an innocuous thread to the key... tie the other end to an industrial flamethrower...

He'll only do it 1 more time.....

it does not matter WHAT color he is (or you are)

Flame throwers are equal opportunity immolators (Yup, spellchecked that )

[FreeFry]

All I have to say at this is LOL

In any case, why not just lock the computer when you're away from it?

[everseeker]

A-hem... where was I

is this done WHILE you are at the keyboard, or when you get up to get something?

If it happens WHILE you are at the computer... I don't know... perhaps bring your own keyboard with you... Mod the thing to make it hard to get to the Alt key (or just glue them "up"....)

If it happens when you're away, you could always use "Winflag"-L to lock the thing

[everseeker]

Mod the thing to make it hard to get to the Alt key

for example... glue a thumb-tack to the alt keys... you pay attention, you're ok... you reach over and hit Alt->>>>>Yeouch<<<<<

What's he gonna do? it's YOUR property he was touching...

I wonder... keyboard remapping software.... you could try to re-map the control keys.... (or the alt keys)
