Holding down button causing a function

[s0gy]

Is it possible to code a way where when you hold down the left click button an action actively repeats however as soon as left click is let go it stops? Any help is appreciated.

Code: Select all

LButton::
While GetKeyState("LButton", "P") {
 Send x
 Sleep, 20
}
Return

How would I also make this script only work in a certain application? also thanks for the help.

Please can you write a demonstration as this doesn't seem to be working, this is my code:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class Notepad

return

LButton::
While GetKeyState("LButton", "P") {
  mouseMove, 0, 100, 10, R
 Sleep, 20
}

Return

Code: Select all

notepad = ahk_class Notepad
#If WinExist(notepad) && mouseOver(notepad)
LButton::
If !WinActive(notepad)
 WinActivate
Loop {
 MouseMove, 0, 100, 10, R
 Sleep, 20
} Until !GetKeyState("LButton", "P")
Return
#If

mouseOver(winTitle) {
 MouseGetPos,,, hWnd
 Return WinExist(winTitle " ahk_id" hWnd)
}
