Move while key is pressed

[Arterie]

I am currently working on a little game, but i cant make my rectangle move "properly".

If i use HotKeySet or _IsPressed function and want it to move while i pressed A it moves like this A AAAAAAAA.

But i want it to move like this AAAAAAAAA.

Is there a Dll or UDF witch could help me?

Sry for my english, i hope you understand my problem^^

What you're encountering is the keyboard "Repeat Delay" setting (Control Panel -> Keyboard Settings). There is a default delay when pressing a keyboard key before it automatically repeats the keypress activity.

As for DLL/UDF access to a modification of this property, I'm unsure - but hopefully this information will help narrow down your search criteria.

I found a function on msdn. Called GetAsyncKeyState. It can return wether the key is currently hold down or not. Maybe this is what i need, but i got problems with the DllCall now.

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$result = DllCall($dll,"SHORT","GetAsyncKeyState","Int","0x41")
DllClose($dll)

EDIT

Solved this on my own:

Func _GetAsyncKeyState($key)
    $key = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $key)
    Return $key[0]
EndFunc
