GetAsyncKeyState

I`m using this code to wait for a click from the user to pause and continue the program. On some PC's it doesnt work, any idea why ? also how do i detect if its clicked on a particular form ?


Public Sub Wait4Click()
Dim press As Boolean
press = False

Do
DoEvents
If GetAsyncKeyState(1) <> 0 Then press = True
If press = True And (1) = 0 Then Exit Sub
DoEvents
Loop

End Sub

Give it a try...

Code:

---

Private Sub Wait4Click()
Dim press As Boolean
press = False
Do
If GetAsyncKeyState(vbKeyLButton) Then Debug.Print "LeftClick": press = True
If press = True And (1) = 0 Then Exit Sub
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub

Woops one of lines have changed but it still doesnt work on other PCs. Do i have to clear the mouse click buffer or something ?

Public Sub Wait4Click()
Dim press As Boolean
press = False

Do
If GetAsyncKeyState(vbKeyLButton) <> 0 Then press = True
If press = True And GetAsyncKeyState(vbKeyLButton) = 0 Then Exit Sub
DoEvents
Loop

End Sub

You can try these constant "VK_LBUTTON" in replacement of "vbKeyLButton".

Public Const VK_LBUTTON = &H1
Public Const VK_RBUTTON = &H2


Public Sub Wait4Click()
Dim press As Boolean
press = False

Do
If GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON ) <> 0 Then press = True
If press = True And GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON ) = 0 Then Exit Sub
DoEvents
Loop

End Sub

still doesnt work ( makes it worse =( )
