REQUEST: Monitor Off by button

awiltz:
I have been trying to redo MonitOff so that instead of it turning off I want it to turn off when I push Shift+F1 (+F1).  I then went it to turn back on when I push Control+Shift+F1 (^+F1).  I'm wanting this program to run in XP and I would like to autoStart when windows start so that is it always active.  I would prefer to not have to put AutoHotKeys on all the computer so if it is possible to make it a .exe file I would love that.
Thanks for any help,

I don't do much AutoHotkey anymore, but this should be what your looking for..

NOTE: I didn't touch the options and I'm sure that the program could be more efficient since your taking out most of the logic behind it (simply using Shift+F1 to turn off), however this is a working model and should suit your needs. When touching any key/moving the mouse, the screen comes back on - I don't know how to make AHK recognize Control+Shift+F1 and ignore all other keys- sorry.

AHK and EXE attached. :)

EDIT: For spelling

It does what I kind of want it to do but it turns back on after a couple of seconds.  This was the same problem I was running into before and I'm not sure if it is the computer I'm programming it on if it is something else.
Thanks for all your help,
Alex

wreckedcarzz:
Hmm, seems to do it for me too. :o I'm not sure then... wait and see if skrommel (MonitOff's programmer) or someone else more qualified can't help :)

awiltz:
Alright.  I might just be the computer.  I'm going to take it out tomorrow to one of the police cars and see if it works right there. Thanks for all your help.  I was getting really frustrated.
