Changing an input control into a hotkey control

Recommended Posts

Apologies if this is already done somewhere but I couldn't find a reference to it. There's been talk of re-using the Windows HotKey control in AutoIt dialogs but I thought I'd have a go at creating one myself so here's my first cut of something that's in the right direction:

[autoit]; ==================================================================================================

; <_HotKeyControl.au3>

;

; Functions:

; _ToggleAsHotkeyControl()

; _GetAutoItHotkey()

;

; _HotkeyWindowProc()

; _GetAutoItCode()

; _ShowHotKey()

; _GetHandleIndex()

;

I realised after posting this that there were a couple of shortfalls which I've hopefully now corrected:

[1] There was no way to set the current hotkey to display in the control. You can now do this with _SetAutoItHotkey

[2] There were too many global variables. All the relevant information is now held in two global arrays $gaVirtkeyMap and $gaHotkeyList - hopefully these won't clash!

The original post has been edited and the latest script is there.

WBD

NB: Good practice would be to unset any current hotkeys before using this control otherwise strange behaviour might ensue!

It was pointed out to me that it wasn't possible to set {ENTER} as a hotkey. This is because the edit control gets $WM_GETDLGCODE instead of $WM_KEYDOWN when the user hits enter. I've corrected this and edited the original post above to reflect the changes.

Regards,

WBD

Hi Yashied,

Yep. I didn't cater for handling reserved hotkeys; I wanted an easy control to allow the user to set valid hotkeys for the application. According to the documentation:

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete : It is reserved by Windows

F12 : It is also reserved by Windows, according to its API.

NumPad's Enter Key : Instead, use {Enter} which captures both Enter keys on the keyboard.

Win+B,D,E,F,L,M,R,U; and Win+Shift+M : These are built-in Windows shortcuts. Note: Win+B and Win+L might only be reserved on Windows XP and above.

Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Win : These are the modifier keys themselves!

I'm not in competition here - I just posted my script as an example. Your code is much more extensive for sure - I just don't have the attention span to write something as complex as that! :D

I wrote HotKey.au3 and HotKeyInput.au3 specifically in order to remove the restrictions on whom you speak.

But in any case, you UDF is good work.
