HotKeySet() not swallowing keystroke..

[OiMunk]

Despite using HotkeySet(), the window is still receiving the set key. Strangely, the key is not passed for every other application except the one I'm using it for (EarMaster Pro). Are some applications written in a way that nullifies the key swallow?

HotKeySet("{SPACE}","test")

HotKeySet("{ESC}","exitt")

while 1 ; main LOOP

sleep(11)

WEnd

Func test()

;do something

sleep(11)

EndFunc

Func exitt()

HotKeySet("{ESC}")

HotKeySet("{SPACE}")

Exit

EndFunc

You need something like this if you have a window or whatever that can help you to determine whether to handle the hot-key or to pass it:

If WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]") = $hGUI Then
    Exit
Else
    HotKeySet("{ESC}")
    Send("{ESC}")
    HotKeySet("{ESC}", "exitt")
EndIf

The problem is that the key is passed regardless of whether I've set the hotkey or not. I actually need to use the hotkey in the stubborn application, so I don't see how that switch would help.

In case my example wasn't clear:

the "{SPACE}" key is sent to the window, even though i've used hotkeyset("{SPACE}","test"). A bug?

It seems like you can't do that using HotKeySet because if you use SetWindowsHookEx you can still be notified about WM_KEY* events. Try to test using the example of _WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx and see if you can block the key from being sent to the rest of the chain. Try once when your script load first and once when after.
