Function / Hotkey Question

[Guest Execute_Me]

Hi Dudes,

i have a Question about Hotkeys.

$count = 8
HotKeySet("{F2}", "MousePos")
While $count < 10
$count = $count + 1
Func MousePos()
$file = FileOpen("pos.txt",1)
$pos = MouseGetPos ( )
FileWrite($file,$pos[0] & "," & $pos[1] & @CRLF)
EndFunc
WEnd

FileClose ($file)

This is my little, buggy Script.

It doesnt work and i don't know why .. but the main question is ->

Is this the right way to use hotkeys?

I wanted to make a proggy which saves the Mouse Positions every time a use a hotkey into a .txt File.

But i have some problems with holding a window opened to end this.

Means -> The Window stays open all the time and ín this time i can make some mousecoords.

Func statement cannot be inside a loop.

Below script will loop forever and anytime you hit F2 will write the mouse pos at the end of the file :

Global $file = "pos.txt"
HotKeySet("{F2}", "MousePos")
While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd
;
Func MousePos()
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    FileWriteLine($file, $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])
EndFunc  ;==>MousePos

Why you did the Func behind the While .. The Func get invoked before its defined ?

Anf why Sleep (10) ?

The Scripts works well but i don't understand it really

While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd

That While-WEnd loop keeps the script going, the sleep save your CPU working too hard. While this loop is running, your hotkey F2 is always active to call MousePos() function.

Just read up on Functions in the helpfile or the online manual

See if that explains it for you....

ahh yeah .... every 10 seconds is writes the koords !

; bla

Global $file = "pos.txt"
HotKeySet("{F2}", "MousePos")
HotKeySet("{F3}", "End")
While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd
;
Func MousePos()
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    FileWriteLine($file, $pos[0] & "," & $pos[1])
EndFunc ;==>MousePos
Func End()
    Exit
EndFunc;==> End

With Exit Func.... but i didn't get a Window Work .. if i click on the "OK" button it stops the Script.

Somebody could tell me how? something like If MsgBox(0, "bla", "bla") = 1

Then Exit

Sleep(10) means sleep 10 msec = .01 sec

With Exit Func.... but i didn't get a Window Work .. if i click on the "OK" button it stops the Script.

You are talking in riddles here ......Do you main you want to get a prompt when you press F3 ????

Like:

Func End()
    If MsgBox(4,"Cancel Execution?","Do you want to cancel the Program?") = 6 Then Exit
EndFunc;==> End

EDIT: corrected calculation... tnx slimshady

@JdeB and others:

1000 milliseconds =  1 second
100  milliseconds =   0.1 second
10   milliseconds =  0.01 second
1   millisecond  = 0.001 second
