Another Help Topic: How To Make Compiled Script Run As A Service

[autoitnerd]

can anyone help mi with this? i was trying to do a hotkey combo Home+End+PageUp+PageDown+Pause , i did it this way HotKeySet("{Home}{End}{PgUp}{PgDn}{Pause}","EXITSCRIPT") but the script exits once i pressed one of any of the buttons.... how do u make it so that the script will only exit when all of the buttons are pressed?

Add On TO New Topic: ok i am wondering whether if i can make a script run as a windows service... i mean in the task manager u can see that the script's .exe file is run by local service and not by ur own name.... is there any way?

$hotkey = "{Home}{End}{PgUp}{PgDn}{Pause}"

HotKeySet($hotkey, "exitscript")

Func exitscript()
exit
endfunc

[autoitnerd]

nope, it's no use, once i pressed home button the script ends... but thanks anyway, any one else can help mi?

[Muchuchu]

$hotkey = "{Home} + {End} + {PgUp} + {PgDn} + {Pause}"

HotKeySet($hotkey, "exitscript")

Func exitscript()
exit
endfunc

Should be it.

[autoitnerd]

nope not this either... thanks though.. anyone else?

You can not use hotkeyset like that unless you use the !#^ characters but this should help:

#Include <Misc.au3>

while 1

if _IsPressed(21) and _IsPressed(22) and _IsPressed(24) and _IsPressed(23) then MsgBox(0,"","")

sleep(100)

WEnd

I took the pause out....

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

any combos of two or more "base keys" such as '{F1}{F2}', and any keys of the form '{LALT}' or '{ALTDOWN}'.

I believe those are base keys but i'm not totally sure.

Edit- Yeah Flip got it posted at same time

It happens to me all the time, but you know I just have to put my two cents in...

[autoitnerd]

oh ok so you can't set them to those keys eh? thanks a lot so can u tell mi where cna u find the list of modifier hotkeys? i mean control+alt+something else...

[flip209]

You can use those key just not all at the same time. Well at least not that I have seen yet. Also, The ^+!# are defined in the help file...

[autoitnerd]

ok thanks a lot for ur help!!

[flip209]

You can use your key if you use the _ispressed function, like I posted above...

[autoitnerd]

but if u use the if function without if not function then the script will take up 50% of the computer usage... anyway to prevent this?

[flip209]

Can you post the function?

[autoitnerd]

for example i use a script like this:

While 1

If ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then

ProcessClose("notepad.exe")

EndIf

WEnd

it will take up 50% of my computer usage... how do u solve this?

[LiLShinta]

just this..

While 1
sleep(100)
ProcessClose("notepad.exe")
WEnd

[autoitnerd]

oh ok thanks a lot! i dun wan to spam lots of threads so i will jsut ask some more questions in this thread... how do u check the string that is entered? for example i wnana set the password function, and i use this: If $password = "pass" Then ...

but it turned out that if i type it in big casing it also recgonise it as the correct password... how do u solve this then?

[ProgAndy]

MsgBox(0, '"HI" = "hi"', "HI" = "hi")
MsgBox(0, '"HI" == "hi"', "HI" == "hi")

[autoitnerd]

oh i got ur idea thanks a lot! this is all for now i will post again if i got anymore problems...

[autoitnerd]

please help mi out for the problem as described...
