i need to get the input from the user and use lbutton as an endkey.

something like

Code:
loop
{
Input, uinput, V L100 C, {lbutton}
if uinput
{
msgbox, %uinput%
}
}
return

but it doesnt end on lbutton

or

Code:
Loop, 95
    Hotkey, % "~" . Chr(31+A_Index), Count
   ;% (so my editor doesnt think the rest of the script is a variable
Pressed := 0
return

Count:
User_Input .= SubStr(A_ThisHotkey, 2)
return

~lbutton::
If (User_Input = "")
    return
MsgBox,,,%User_Input%,.5
User_Input := "" ; Clear the input
return

but it doesnt differentiate between lower and uppercase letters and it doesnt correct for backspaces


either one works for me, i just need to get the input whenever lbutton is pressed[/code]

Set LButton as a hotkey that sends an ending key that's on the keyboard.
Code:
loop
{
   Input, uinput, V L100, ^!+{F24}
   if uinput
      msgbox, %uinput%
}
return

~LButton::Send, ^!+{F24}
Esc::ExitApp

Use Matchlist instead of endkey

This works,
Code:
GetUserInput()
Return

GetUserInput()
{
    HotKey, LButton, LButtonEndKey
    Input, uInput, V L100 C, {F24}
    HotKey, LButton, LButtonEndKey, OFF
    if( uInput )
        MsgBox, %uinput%
Return
}

LButtonEndKey:
   Send, {F24}
   HotKey, LButton, LButtonEndKey, OFF
Return

ih57452's solution would work as well, but I imagine the code snippet will be contained within a larger script --- and you wouldn't necessarily want to exit immediately after obtaining user input.

ih57452, your code is *almost* exactly what i want.

When i click on explorer on the task bar in windows 7 to switch explorer folders, it the popup dialog closes before the click is registered.

Is there a way to make sure the lbutton is sent first, and then the F24 combination afterwards?
i need to retain click and drag functionality though

i dont understand your code.

What's to understand? It temporarily overrides Left Click, waits for input. Stops input when LeftClick is done. And removes the Left-Click override.

You cannot "retain click-and-drag" while at the same time using LButton as an EndKey. The hotkey override for LButton needs to be removed. Which if you even bothered to run my code, you'd not post that you don't understand it.

Send, ^!+{F24}

no drag though.
I solved it with a sleep, 1000 on your first script.

Thanks everyone who helped

I guess I should have tried it before I posted it. :D
Code:
*$LButton::Send, {LButton Down}

*$LButton Up::
Send, {LButton Up}
Send, ^!+{F24}
return

ah, almost

im still missing the ability to shift select if you understand what i mean.

like in a document, clicking somewhere, holding shift and clicking somewhere else and have the text in between selected.

idk if that can be fixed though...

I forgot about Blind Mode:
Code:
*$LButton::Send, {Blind}{LButton Down}

*$LButton Up::
Send, {LButton Up}
Send, ^!+{F24}
return

You'd be better off with this, then:
Code:
~LButton::return
~*LButton Up::Send, ^!+{F24}

Then you don't have to handle the LButton state, and risk it getting stuck down.
