Keyborad shortcuts

[Vladi243]

I want to create keyboard shortcuts. After searching in the forum and in the help file, I found the functiom _IsPressed() for this purpose. I don't understand how to use it.

Can you explain me how should I use it?

For example to pop a MsgBox when I press on ctrl+shift+s.

HotKeySet

[Vladi243]

I have already tried the function HotKeySet, But I can put in this func only one hotkey. I want to make ctrl+shift+s.

Can you give me an example?

Read the send section in the helpfile. It has the exact same syntax as hotkeyset.

Try

hotkeyset("^+s", "_IsPressed");Ctrl+Shift+S

[monoceres]

Try

hotkeyset("^+s", "_IsPressed");Ctrl+Shift+S

Not very smart.

_IsPressed is already defined in Misc.au3 so if you define it in your script and also include misc.au3 you will get errors.

@monoceres

i understand he wanna use the hotkey for that function:D

some example:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Form1",150,150)
GUISetState(false)
hotkeyset("^s", "msg");Ctrl+S
While 1
    
WEnd
Func msg()
    MsgBox(0,"MSG","You press  Ctrl-S")
EndFunc

It's not working. I tried it for example

HotKeySet ("+!s", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

While 1
    Sleep (100)
WEnd

Func PopMsg()
    MsgBox (4096, "Test", "Success")
EndFunc

As I read in the hekpfile, it must work.

add to youre script in first line this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

will look like this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
HotKeySet ("+!s", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

While 1
    Sleep (100)
WEnd

Func PopMsg()
    MsgBox (4096, "Test", "Success")
EndFunc

And this works for me. I get the MsgBox, as it is supposed to be, but you coul dtry:

HotKeySet ("+S", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

(A big S includes the Shift-Key, too )

[monoceres]

add to youre script in first line this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Also not very smart, GUIConstants is just a bunch of constants so that won't do any good.

@Vladi243

Your script should work. It did for me

[Vladi243]

uuuhhhh... Now I found the problem.

I should use capital "S".

Here is the working script

HotKeySet ("+!S", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

While 1
    Sleep (100)
WEnd

Func PopMsg()
    MsgBox (4096, "Test", "Success")
EndFunc

Thanks everybody.

@Vladi243,

Try this code...

HotKeySet("+!s", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

For $i = 5 To 1 Step -1
    TrayTip($i, "Sleeping", 5)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

TrayTip("", "MsgBox should be there", 50)
Send("+!s")

Func PopMsg()
    MsgBox(4096, "Test", "Success")
EndFunc   ;==>PopMsg

...and let us know the results.

@Vladi243,

Try this code...

HotKeySet("+!s", "PopMsg");Alt+Shift+S

For $i = 5 To 1 Step -1
    TrayTip($i, "Sleeping", 5)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

TrayTip("", "MsgBox should be there", 50)
Send("+!s")

Func PopMsg()
    MsgBox(4096, "Test", "Success")
EndFunc   ;==>PopMsg

...and let us know the results.

It's working only if change the small "s" to capital "S" as I said in the previous massege.

Is it a bug?

[herewasplato]

uuuhhhh... Now I found the problem.

I should use capital "S".

Glad that is is working, but it should not matter for that particular combination of modifiers. Try the code that I posted and change the "s" in the Send line to upper or lower case. Also try changing the "s" in the HotKeySet line to either case. They need not agree... one can be upper case and the other lower case... and it should still work.

Edit: Hmmm, not sure why it matters for your computer?

Maybe it's only on my computer.
