 Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 5:10 pm Post subject: Double Middle Mouse Button Click Locks Computer |
 |
|
Hello
I'm trying to create a script which will send the window key and L when the middle mouse button is double clicked, thus locking the computer.
This is what I've got so far:
| Code: |
~MButton::
KeyWait, MButton
KeyWait, MButton, D T0.2
if ErrorLevel
return
else
send #L
return |
But this just sends 'L's to the active window. I've tried putting a comma after the send, but it didn't make any difference.
Please help me! |

Check out Example #3 under SetTimer for some guidance on how to accomplish this.

Thanks sinkfave. However having implemented that example I still have the same problem; the script still inputs 'L's. One of my attempts made the script press and hold the win key, and input one L, but I still had to press L on the keyboard in order to lock the computer.
My most recent attempt is below, with three different attempts (all commented out) in the key pressed twice bit, with an explanation of the effect they had.
| Code: |
;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language: English
; Platform: Win9x/NT
; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)
;
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
; Example #3: Detection of single, double, and triple-presses of a hotkey. This
; allows a hotkey to perform a different operation depending on how many times
; you press it:
;3rd attempt
~MButton::
if mbutton_presses > 0 ; SetTimer already started, so we log the keypress instead.
{
mbutton_presses += 1
return
}
; Otherwise, this is the first press of a new series. Set count to 1 and start
; the timer:
mbutton_presses = 1
SetTimer, MButtonT, 400 ; Wait for more presses within a 400 millisecond window.
return
MButtonT:
SetTimer, MButtonT, off
if mbutton_presses = 1 ; The key was pressed once.
{
; Run, m:\ ; Open a folder.
}
else if mbutton_presses = 2 ; The key was pressed twice. ;THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT
{
; Run, m:\multimedia ; Open a different folder.
; Send {LWin Down} {L} ;effect: in first instance types 'L', user must press L on keyboard to initiate lock. Win key stays down until user presses Win key
; Send {LWin} {L} ;effect: an L is typed every time, with a space in between each one
; Send #L ;effect: an L is typed every time with no spaces
}
;else if mbutton_presses > 2
;{
; MsgBox, Three or more clicks detected.
;}
; Regardless of which action above was triggered, reset the count to
; prepare for the next series of presses:
mbutton_presses = 0
return |
The problem probably has something to do with making the script send the windows key AND the L key, as the detection of the double middle mouse button click seems to work fine.
So I guess the question is how to do this? |

| Unfortunately that had the same result - the windows key was pressed down but a single 'L' was typed in the text editor and then only pressing L on the keyboard locked the computer. |

Don't Send something to lock the computer, Run something:
| Code: | else if mbutton_presses = 2
{
Run rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
} |
