Hi I have created this UDF to intercept mouse events so you can remap them ( including X buttons). - might work better on some windows versions 32/64 bit and some auto it versions. It treats mouse clicks like AutoIt hotkeys (which dosen't support mouse events). eg set up a hotkey for Right Click. _MouseTrapEvent("RClick", "_RClick", 1); single clicks Example events ; LClick - left button click (Primary) ; MClick - middle button click (Wheel click) ; RClick - right button click (Secondary) ; XClick1 - Xtra button 1 click (usually 'back navigaton') ; XClick2 - Xtra button 2 click (usually 'forward navigaton') ; double clicks ; LDClick - left button (Primary) ; MDClick - middle button (Wheel click) ; RDClick - right button (Secondary) ; XDClick1 - Xtra button 1 (usually 'back navigaton') ; XDClick2 - Xtra button 2 (usually 'forward navigaton') ; psuedo double clicks ('chords') - ; XClick12 - Xtra button 1&2 pressed at the same time. ; ; OTHER EVENTS you'll have to work out yourself eg mouse wheel scroll - see code. Borrows Heavily from JRowe's mouse event udf and (Mr)CreatoR's great work MouseSetEvent UDF's This UDF is not as comprehensive as MouseSetEvent but is simpler. The main difference to MouseSetEvent is this UDF - maps mouse events more simply than MouseSetEvent - You don't have to worry about button down and up events (which can be a pitfall with MouseSetEvent ). - Handles X buttons on side of mouse. ($WM_XBUTTONUP). - may be slower (does a lot of string handling which could be better) - might work better on some windows versions 32/64 bit and some auto it versions. - is global can't be limited to one window. - code is simpler to follow imho eg. The code needs to be optimised. Examples they use a tool tip UDF which might require at least ie8 or remove the tool tips from the example if it don't work. Enjoy V2 Left and Middle double click now work. Also note if you register a double click , the single click event will be blocked (my apols) However, you can still register the single click, and do something if you want.

Thanks for the positive feedback - much appreciated!

Heya, I have 2 questions If you right click the windows 7 taskbar, go to options, and tick "Auto-Hide the Taskbar". It increases the size of the screen for apps "cuz the taskbar is kinda gone" unless u hover ur mouse to the location of the bar and it slowly appears. Also when the bar is inactive it shows this horrible line reminding you of the location of it #NoTrayIcon #Include <WinAPI.au3> _ShowTaskBar(1) Func _ShowTaskBar($fShow) Local $hTaskBar If @OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA" or @OSVersion = "WIN_2008" or @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then _ShowStartButton($fShow) $hTaskBar = _WinAPI_FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", "") If $fShow=0 Then _WinAPI_ShowWindow($hTaskBar, @SW_SHOW) Else _WinAPI_ShowWindow($hTaskBar, @SW_HIDE) EndIf EndFunc ;==>_ShowTaskBar Func _ShowStartButton($fShow ) Local $hTaskBar, $hStartButton If @OSVersion = "WIN_VISTA" or @OSVersion = "WIN_2008" or @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then $hStartButton = _WinAPI_FindWindow("Button", "Start") Else $hTaskBar = _WinAPI_FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", "") $hStartButton = ControlGetHandle($hTaskBar, "", "Button1") EndIf If $fShow=0 Then _WinAPI_ShowWindow($hStartButton, @SW_SHOW) Else _WinAPI_ShowWindow($hStartButton, @SW_HIDE) EndIf EndFunc ;==> Now with that code, it can be used to Show or Hide the taskbar, but i have noticed some system tasks "like closing task-manager" will show the bar again, meaning this code needs to be re-run but i cant think of any way of checking weather the bar is hidden or not. I tryed using WinGetPos, WinActive, WinGetState but couldn't find any ideas?? My second question is to increase the speed a bit, i found when the taskbar is "active" it doesn't do the slow fade in and fade out animation "with my code of just show and hide it would be alot faster" is there any way for some code to set the bar to constantly active without affecting anything else ? "Ie if i used WInActivate on a loop, it would do this but i would also lose focus every time the code is run" Thanks

Thanks to a post by JamesB I discovered adding User Call Tips was possible. This script does it for you so you can add ToolTips for functions that are not included with AutoIt, and could even be for your own functions in the script you are working on. The toolTips can be updated or removed at any time. Updates are shown as comments at start of script. ; AddCallTips.au3 ;automates adding User Call Tips to SciTE. See SciTE help for User Call Tips. Const $version = "V1.5" ;version changes ;1.5 Allowed for having functions in UDF which must not be given Call Tips. Useful for internal functions. ;1.4 rewote functions UpdateCallTips and replaceUCT ;1.31 Removed \V at start of search patter for StringREgExpr/Replace ;1.3 Improved matching function names so if parameters have been changed update still works etc. ;1.2 Added warnings for invalid files, too few comment chars and no Key Word for comments. ; Rearranged things a bit to improve readabilty. Simplified some things. ;1.1 change default folder to last folder used for fileopendialog {Bowmore} ; made folder for backups and added numbered backups ;next line only used when developing the script
