How to make a key to activate a script. Sorry for asking this

[mbm]

I know I might be flamed for asking this, but I have search and looked in the Q&A.

I Have made some scripts and would like to activate them by a keystroke. Found something about Hotkeyset, but not sure how it works, and if it what I should be using?

HotKeySet("{F3}", "Go")

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func Go()

AND HERE I SET ALL MY CODE IN

EndFunc

Am I missing something?

Welcome to the forum.

It does not look like you are missing anything except to replace "AND HERE I SET ALL MY CODE IN" with some code.

When F3 is pressed, the Go function will be executed. If that is not working, let us know what it is doing wrong.

ok I got the idea wrong. I though the script would execute when the F3 key was press, but the script shold be running in the background offcouse.

Tried this which worked fine. Will try with my own script later.:

HotKeySet("{F3}", "Go")

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func Go()

MsgBox(0, "My First Script!", "Hello World!")

EndFunc

If you want to start running your script (or any other proramm) by pressing a key (i.e. "F3"), you can create a shortcut of your script on the desktop, go to the properties of the shortcut and enter the key you want.

Ok thanks, so no need for the Hotkey in the script then?

Yep, this is a Windows feature to start any programm by short-key
