Pass Function Param with HotKeySet?

[rhg]

I know I could just add another function that does not require a parameter

but I thought it redundant so thought to ask here. Comments in code.

Thanks

Global $exitflag = 0

HotKeySet("+{ESC}", "Bye"); tried "Bye(0)" and "Bye"&(0)

Global $this = 10, $that = 0
While 1

    $that=$that+1
; I want to add other conditions here that
; use the same function Bye() and pass a parameter
    If $this = $that Then Bye(1)
    sleep(5000)
WEnd

Func Bye($eflag = 0)
    $exitflag = $eflag
    Exit
EndFunc

Func OnAutoItExit()
    Local $Title, $Output
    Select
        Case $exitflag=0; msg to display if HotKeySet used
            $Title = "Exit Message 0"
            $Output = "This would be message triggered by HotKeySet SHIFT+ESC"
        Case $exitflag=1; msg to display if *not* HotKeySet
            $Title = "Exit Message 1"
            $Output = "This would be message triggered in While..WEnd Loop"
    EndSelect
    MsgBox(64,$Title,$Output,10)
EndFunc

obviously you understand this will not work

tried "Bye(0)" and "Bye"&(0)

passing a variable is not available AFAIK

but... you might have a look at

@HotKeyPressed

or set one hot key as a menu for the input to set many hot keys???

not completely sure of your direction

Thanks for the tip...Found @HotKeyPressed in help. Problem solved.

EDIT: To explain a little: I use the funtion Bye() to break out of loops and exit the program; I have had times where AutoIt would not break out of loop when Xfunction calls deep and exit, and this seems to work wonders for that (I am sure it is my code not autoit). I want to use OnAutoItExit() to trigger exit events like displaying a message dialog or writing to a logfile. So since I am using +ESC to trigger the function Bye() I needed a way to pass a variable to it for a custom message OnAutoItExit(), but I wanted to reuse the function Bye(). Instead, I now just have another function:

HotKeySet("+{ESC}", "HotKeyExit")
Func HotKeyExit()
      Bye(0)
EndFunc
