[Solved] HotKeySet activating with no keys

[AnonymousX]

Hello,

 

My ultimate goal is have my program running in the background, then when user press some hotkey it will activate my function. I'm having issues though where function actives without me hitting anything though. 

I tried to make a simple test file to figure out whats going on but I'm stuck.

 

HotKeySet("^{F12}",test());Trigger test() when ctrl+F12 is pressed

While True

Sleep(100); Continue running script
WEnd

Func test()

   MsgBox(0,"","hello")
EndFunc

 

When I run this I instantly get the message box saying hello, without hitting Ctrl+F12 which I want. What am I doing wrong here? 

Thanks for any help

HotKeySet("^{F12}","test") ; - Trigger test() when ctrl+F12 is pressed

While True
    Sleep(100); Continue running script
WEnd


Func test()
    MsgBox(0,"","hello")
EndFunc

Thank you! Didn't realize that's how the function worked.

I'm new to this, is there a way for me to mark this as solved?

There used to be. If you edit the first post you can change the title to ''hotkeyset-activating-with-no-keys - SOLVED" or something like that. It's a good idea.
