I did the same thing last year. I just got mine out to test though and there are a few bugs, so I'll probably be using yours from now on

The one thing I did like about mine was that it autoit hotkey strings rather than virtual keys. Saves a lot of hassle. All I need to do is fix mine so that using letters means lower case letter output unless shift is pressed (like autoit does).

Thanks this is very good i post this crapy array thing but yours is far far beyond better.. this will be usefull....

@Off-Topic: I think the only problem with this forum is that it is very large and many things happen unnoticed

Thanks Yashied for this UDF very nice

There is one thing missing.. i cannot select the Pause Key and as far as i know this key isn't used a lot. Very useful as a hotkey.

Cheers

Very nice!

I hope this will become part of standard UDFs one day.

I hope one day we have a complete collection of all the windows controls. I don't see any reason why not.

Hi

Very nice UDF ! Thanks a lot ! It was really helpfull !

BTW, when I try to use it with the function "_IsPressed" it works with every HotKey like "A, B, C, F12, F5, etc..." but it doesn't work with CTRL + F2 or ALT + F1

If _IsPressed(Hex($Code, 4))

There is another way to do this?

Thank !
