Mic Live Window

[lareneg]

Hi,

The application I use to record audio and do some basic DJing doesn't have a mic live light built into it...

So I was looking to do it in AutoIt.

I was just wondering if the following was possible - I'm a bit of an AutoIt noob and wouldn't know where to start!

A resizeable window that will:

1) Go red whenever F11 is held down, returning to white when the key is released.

2) Toggle between red and white whenever the combo of Shift + F11 is hit.

But AutoIt would need to be able to register the keys when not in focus. Is this possible?

Thanks!

GuiCreate() with $WS_SIZEBOX, GuiSetBkColor(), and use _IsPressed() in a loop to detect the hot key status.
