Simulated key strokes - the number of times

[greatxmouse]

Now I got what's about the editor, and finally solved the issue - there was a conflict between AHK and X-mouse. I set the down arrow key as a chacarater in AHK so DOWN command worked as the character input in X-mouse. Further, for any keyboard input, X-mouse passes through AHK and for mouse input, AHK passes through X-mouse. Hope that it helps to anyone using both tools! Thanks.

For info, the order in which they pass through, will depend on which application loads first and installs their hook first - there is no way of controlling it in Windows, other than the MOST recently installed hook will receive the message first (I believe).

If XMBC reinstalls its hook (as it does for example when you logoff / logon again), that will be the most recent hook (NOTE: I don't know when AHK installs or re-installs its keyboard (and mouse) hooks.

Hi Phil, when you say "applications", do you mean x-mouse and ahk, or apps on Windows?

[phil]

I mean XMBC and AHK (and any other application that installed keyboard or mouse hooks - there are plenty of others out there, for example I have Volume2 which uses a mouse hook (I only found it after someone had problems with it and XMBC!!)).

You're right. Whenever I come back from sleep mode, AHK doesn't work in a regular behavior and I figured X-mouse blocks it somehow. But reloading AHK makes everything gets back to normal. Hope that it helps to someone.
