bcnubes Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am new to Autoit and am just getting the hang of it. This seems so generic I can't seem to find it anywhere. I set hotkeys 0-9 to be a certain color for the background and keys + and - to reverse the black/white. These keys are just swapping out a premade image with the colors. Pressing 1 loads a gif image that is black with white, pressing 2 loads a gif that is red and white, 3 blue and white... pressing - swaps it to white and black, red and black, blue and black... Anywho, I thought I was doing everything great and got things swapping just fine but then noticed that these hotkeys remain even if I minimze the application. So when I run my script and hit 2+ it works fine but then I minimze and try to go to calculator the hotkeys are still being captured by Autoit. How can I set it to only capture when the Autoit script is running? Looked at WinWait and WinActive... but they don't look like it. F1 is the same thing. I want F1 to open my help file but if I minimize and go to Excel it should open Excel's help file. This seems like it would be a Windows wide setting. Pressing F1 in each application brings up the application specific help file. Should I not be using hotkeys? Is there another way to capture key strokes?

bcnubes Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks everybody for the responses. Great to have such an active forum. GUISetAccelerators() looks like what I am after. Yashied- those examples look very useful. I don't even come close to understanding them at this point but hopefully after playing with them for a while I might start to understand. Thanks again guys!
