Description
A few recent forum help requests have been the result of users not waiting for a key detected by _IsPressed to be released before continuing the script. This resulted in multiple actioning of the code for that event.
Could I suggest that the following remark be added to the _IsPressed page in the Help file:
Remarks:
_IsPressed will return 1 until the key is released. Even brief key presses can result in multiple returns within a loop. If the code called does not include a blocking function (such as MsgBox) and the user does not require multiple returns, the script should wait until _IsPressed returns 0 before continuing.
And then alter the example as follows:
#include <Misc.au3> $dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") While 1 Sleep ( 250 ) If _IsPressed("24", $dll) Then ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Home Key Pressed" & @CRLF) ; Wait until key is released While _IsPressed("24", $dll) Sleep( 250 ) WEnd ElseIf _IsPressed("23", $dll) Then MsgBox(0,"_IsPressed", "End Key Pressed") ExitLoop EndIf WEnd DllClose($dll)
