From: Michael Linfield Date: 2009-07-02T10:36:56+09:00 Subject: speeding up GetAsyncKeyState while true keys.each {|k, v| print k.upcase if GetAsyncKeyState.call(v) & 0x01 == 1 && GetAsyncKeyState.call(0x10) & 0x01 == 1} keys.each {|k, v| print k.downcase if GetAsyncKeyState.call(v) & 0x01 == 1} end GetAsyncKeyState is representing Win32API.new('user32', 'GetAsyncKeyState', ['i'], 'i') and keys represents a hash of scan code to virtual keycode conversions. The problem occurs as seen by running this in a console... pressing "a" too quickly results in no secondary "a". In short... it doesn't pick up all the keyboard input unless you type at 1 letter per 3 seconds. Any way to speed this up? Regards, - Mac -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
