GUISetAccelerators as an interrupt?

[rcmaehl]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is another choice instead of GUISetAccelerators or HotKeySet. I'm looking for the full interrupt of HotKeySet without interfering with other running applications and keybinds. I am running AutoIt in an extreme environment (essentially running a very heavy java application, several chrome instances, and Autoit all on a single core) and GUISetAccelerators just isn't reliable, taking several minutes and sometimes an hour to be processed. HotKeySet really isn't an option due to needing as many keys as possible. I believe this is because I'm getting very few while loop cycles per minute, and that events are being processed in the order they were received. Is there anyway to force a GUI event to be processed before any others? Would using OnEventMode() be more reliable instead of GUIGetMsg()?

Thanks in advance!

You may want to try hooking to the control using either :

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong with the $GWL_WNDPROC option

or

SetWindowSubclass Win32 API

In both cases, by hooking to the message WM_KEYDOWN, you should get better response time...I think.
