Image not destroyed / shown misclicked

[mor61]

Hey,

I want to show an image on the screen every time the caps lock is on, this is mostly working but every now and then when fast clicking or the script is opening something,
clicking on the capslock does not remove the message / not showing it and thus causing the message to be out of sync (caps lock is off but there is still the message / caps lock is on but there is no message).

This is the code I am using:

Code: Select all

~*CapsLock::
state := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
if state = 1
{
    SplashImageGUI("command-mode.png", "center", "center", false, true)
}
else
{
    DestroySplashGUI()
}
return

SplashImageGUI(Picture, X, Y, Duration, Transparent = false)
{
Gui, XPT99:Margin , 0, 0
Gui, XPT99:Add, Picture,, %Picture%
Gui, XPT99:Color, ECE9D8
Gui, XPT99:+LastFound -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -Border
If Transparent
{
Winset, TransColor, ECE9D8
}
Gui, XPT99:Show, x%X% y%Y% NoActivate
if (Duration !== false)
{
    SetTimer, DestroySplashGUI, -%Duration%
}
return
}

DestroySplashGUI()
{
Gui, XPT99:Destroy
return
}

Is there a way to make sure the image staying in sync with the image showing?

Adding a sleep 10 after the hotkey seems to solve it....

Code: Select all

~*CapsLock::
sleep 10    
state := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
if state = 1
{
    SplashImageGUI("command-mode.png", "center", "center", false, true)
}
else
{
    DestroySplashGUI()
}
return

SplashImageGUI(Picture, X, Y, Duration, Transparent = false)
{
Gui, XPT99:Margin , 0, 0
Gui, XPT99:Add, Picture,, %Picture%
Gui, XPT99:Color, ECE9D8
Gui, XPT99:+LastFound -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -Border
If Transparent
{
Winset, TransColor, ECE9D8
}
Gui, XPT99:Show, x%X% y%Y% NoActivate
if (Duration !== false)
{
    SetTimer, DestroySplashGUI, -%Duration%
}
return
}

DestroySplashGUI()
{
Gui, XPT99:Destroy
return
}

DestroySplashGUI()

return

This unfortunately did not solved the problem, I have tried many variations such as toggle flag / key wait (so the hotkey won't be recalled when holding capslock).

For now I am trying another solution which seems to solve it:

Code: Select all

#If, GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")

$~*CapsLock::
SplashImageGUI("command-mode.png", "center", "center", false, true)
Return
#If

$~*CapsLock::
DestroySplashGUI()
Return

For some reason this seems to not miss the sync between the capslock state and image
