Cancel the action of a key

[oliv615]

Hello,

I have a mini keyboard Rii i25 (http://www.riitek.com/product/i25.html)
The "Browser_Home" key opens my browser and i don't want that.

If I do the code below I get a popup but after the browser opens anyway.

Code: Select all

Browser_Home::
MsgBox, %A_ThisHotKey% was pressed.
return

How to make the browser does not open?

Ideally, I want to replace this key by "escape" without opening the browser afterwards

Thank you for your help.

Ummm... Try:

Browser_Home::
Sleep, 500
Return

Thank you for your help.
This did not work and the browser still opens. Can my remote send 2 instructions at the same time?

I believe the browser loads due to an internal hardware command. Why dont you try to take some action and close the browser?. Something like this

Code: Select all

Browser_Home::
	If ProcessExist("iexplore.exe")	;If ie browser
	{
	  ProcessExist(Name)
	  {
	  Process,Close,%Name%
	  return Errorlevel
	  }
	}
;Put some code
return

Thank You.
If a browser is open it is closed but another is opened just after.
You must be right for the hardware command.

So it seems that the browser is activated due to an internal hardware command. Does anyone know how to disable this?

This should cause the key to at least close the window it opens:

Code: Select all

Browser_Home::
	WinWaitActive, ahk_exe iexplore.exe, , 5
	if (!ErrorLevel)
		WinClose
	; Anything else you want the hotkey to do goes here
	return

Unfortunately this is a fairly hacky solution; it sounds like the button operates at a level that AHK can't really interact with directly.

ok ! Thank you for your help.
To work around the problem I finally replaced the exe file of my browser by default with my script.
