MouseGetButtonState

[fr.r@…]

Hello,

Firts I'd like to thank you for this great tool that I know and use since version 2. I use it almost everyday and it helps me a lot. So thanks.

Now, the suggestion:

I sometimes use autoit for semi-automated sequence in cooperation with user; meaning that user handles the mouse by himself, and the script watches at what user is doing in order to start specific sequence of operations depending on context.

For example, I'd like to make a script that performs a "Ctrl-a Ctrl-c" operation when user click on a particular area of the client area of an application.

For that kind of script, I use the MouseGetPos and MouseGetCursor functions but some useful functions are missing, such as: MouseGetButtonState which could return current state of the mouse buttons (eg: BTNUP, BTNDOWN, ... ).

I think implementing such a function would not be too complex, and seams to me quite relevant in some situations.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Are you thinking about any Windows API to implement such function?

Replying to Jpm:

Thanks for your answer.

I am not expert in windows programming but I guess that the GetKeyState() function could be used, using the virtual key codes: VK_LBUTTON, VK_RBUTTON, VK_MBUTTON, ...

In fact you are looking for an already implemented UDF _IsPressed()
