{LALT down} and {LALT up}

[zbychos]

Hi

My sister is a one-handed.

She has a program that requires holding the LALT and mouse click.

I wrote a program that when you press the middle mouse button sends {LALT down}

And after releasing the middle button sends {LALT up}

Simple but... not work

{LALT down} work - key is pressed

{LALT up} not work - key is pressed all the time

Any idea why?

#include <misc.au3>

sleep(100)

HOTKEYSET("{F9}", "_exit")

Global $down = False

while 1
    If _IsPressed(4) And Not $down Then
        send('{LALT down}',0)
        $down = True
        Beep(500,100)
    EndIf
    If Not _IsPressed(4) And $down Then
        send('{LALT up}',0)
        $down = False
        Beep(100,100)
    EndIf
    sleep(10)
Wend

Func _exit()
    Beep(1500,500)
    Exit    
EndFunc

I did try:

send('{LALT down}',0)
sleep(500)
send('{LALT up}',0)

and again {LALT up} not work - key is pressed all the time

Please help to find a solution. The matter is urgent for me.

Tahnk you

Try using send('{ALTDOWN}') and send('{ALTUP}')

I don't see {LALT DOWN} in the documentation

Please help to find a solution.

LALT (and RALT) is (are) in the docs, and both are handled by up and down. Your code didn't work for me either, but when I changed LALT to ALT, it (the code) performed as expected. Before I made the change, I noticed that with LALT down enabled, the hotkey wouldn't be caught, and the key ESC minimized the editor. I also added consolewrite lines after each of the sends, and they displayed as expected.

{LALT down} and {LALT up}

EDIT: Well I guess I posted incorrect info, I've got too much going on here.. changing LALT to ALT only works with the second bit of code that the OP posted..

It doesn't work for me either if I use LALT, but if I use ALTDOWN and ALTUP it does work. Must it be Left Alt zbychos?

Unfortunately, it must be LALT. Otherwise there would be no question:)

Well...

I see that the problem with the command LALT (up) is not the solution.

In this case treat it as a big bug in the language.

Nothing is perfect ... unfortunately.

Well with the C++ and VB is free from this error
