Dublicate Function '_WinAPI_GetKeyboardState'

[mike1950r]

Hi,

sorry I'm a bit confused.

I'm finding two functions with the same name.

Has this been replaced or updated ?

Did you find them both in the UDFs that ship with AutoIt?

what includes ?. I've checked and only your 2nd func by Yashied is in the distro.

In my official installation , too, I can only find one include file in which the function exists (once).

By the way: If one creates an AutoIt script in which two functions have the identical name, an error message appears (... already defined).

It's likely he's got it from https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/123826-how-to-know-if-any-key-is-pressed/?do=findComment&comment=859911 and has it in another include without noticing.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

One function I found in following thread:

Link to Function

When using this function in a script I got the error message 'Dublicate function name',
and when looking for that I found the other function in 'WinAPISys.au3' with the same name.

This is why I got confused.

Cheers mike
