Title: [RESOLVED] Hotkeys
Post by: wires on June 11, 2005, 10:04:47 pm

Is there a better way to receive hotkeys in Broodwar such as F11 and stuff without using a timer?  Right now I'm using a timer which totally sucks.

Your timer can hook keypreses? Cool.  If you don't want to use a timer, you *COULD* use a do, Loop with a doevents in it..

Yeah, warrior told me about the loop idea.  I decided not to do it.  I might however do it just to use on my WinME computer and use they Keyboard hook at my dad's.  *shrug*

My timer used GetAsyncKeyState() to get they hotkey from Broodwar.
