 Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:33 am Post subject: Can Input be substituted for KeyWait? |
 |
|
I was looking at the Input function, and it seems like it is capable of performing the same thing. I have a script that uses KeyWait, so I tried replacing it with a call to Input, but it isn't functioning the same. I don't understand what the difference is really.
original snippet of KeyWait code
| Code: |
KeyWait Down, T0.03
if (ErrorLevel)
...
|
Input code that doesn't work the same, and I don't know why:
| Code: |
Input dummyVar, T0.03, {Down}
if (ErrorLevel="Timeout")
...
|

KeyWait by default waits for the key to be released (up). Therefore, there is not a timeout condition, but rather KeyWait returns with ErrorLevel = 0.
| Code: |
Input dummyVar, T0.03, {Down}
if (ErrorLevel="Timeout")
...
|
Input waits for the key to be depressed (down). Therefore, there is a timeout condition if the key specified as an "EndKey" is not pressed. |

and Input can't be made to check for a key up even with something like this?
Input dummyVar, T0.03, {Down up} |

No. Input is waiting for a key to be pressed. That is its behavior by design.
Why do you want to replace KeyWait with Input? |
