Disable ESC if certain window is opened

[hiimjoey11]

So currently I have this where it will pop up a message box when i press ESC in that particular window.  What it also does it still send the ESC key command.  I am trying to make it NOT send ESC if that particular window is active.  Here is what i tried so far, but didn't seem to work.  Do I need to do a keyboard hook or something?

#include <Misc.au3>

While 1
    If _IsPressed("1B") AND WinActive("MyWindow") Then
        ;Disable ESC key here
        MsgBox(0, "", "Esc pressed")
    EndIf
WEnd

Something like this:

Local $hotKey = 0

While 1
    If WinActive("MyWindow") Then
        $hotKey = HotKeySet("{ESC}", "DoNothing")
    Else
        If $hotKey = 0 Then
            ContinueLoop
        Else
            $hotKey = HotKeySet("{ESC}")
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd
 
Func DoNothing()
    ;0/0
EndFunc

Does that help?

My pleasure.

P.S. The only reason I added the extra If statement was so that you are not sitting their calling HotKeySet("{ESC}") every time you loop through, just because that certain window is not active.
