OnEvent / Key_Down (Suggestion)

v12

Marcus,

Sometimes I want an event to be turned off. Is there a way to undo an OnEvent trigger? If not, could you make this possible?

For example. When numlock is on I want pressing F2 to cause my macro to jump to a srt. But if numlock is off I don't want the trigger. I have tried re-directing the OnEvent, but that causes delay problems.

Maybe it could be...

OnEvent>Key_Down,VK113,0,MySrt,Off

I don't know, you probably have better concepts, but something in that order.

Thanks.

Right now you need to set a flag. E.g. your OnEvent subroutine could look something like:

Code: Select all

SRT>MyEvent
  If>flag=1
     .. do stuff
  Endif
End>MyEvent

And then if you want to disable the event you set flag to 0 and to enable it again set it to 1.

But the ability to turn off OnEvents is on the wish list.

OnEvent>Key_Down,VK113,0,DoVK113
You can disable the Key_Down event with:
OnEvent>Key_Down,VK113,0,Null
SRT>Null
End>Null

Thanks, Marcus for putting that on the wish list.

Armsys, thanks. I'll try that. What I did was have it return to itself, but that caused lag in response. Maybe making the srt Null directly under the OnEvent will help too.
