[EO][VB6] Key tap question… Please Help! :D

[DopeyBiach]

How would I go about making it so that when I hold down a specific key, it doesn't rapidly use it..

Example:
So that if you hold down CTRL you attack ONCE, rather than repeatedly

However I want it so it's not as irritating focusing on the chatbox using enter.

PLEASE HELP MEH D:

Location (frmMain):
```
Private Sub Form_KeyUp
```

This handles Hotbar keys:
```
    ' hotbar
    For i = 1 To MAX_HOTBAR
        If KeyCode = 111 + i Then
            SendHotbarUse i
        End If
    Next

```

To clarify, 111 is vbKeyF1 - 1, so to use numbers instead, you code do vbKey1 - 1\.

You could set say, a flag for the button you want pressed, and set it to 1 when pressed.. e.g. the following pseudo code:
```
If ButtonDown = True and Flag = 0 then
      Flag = 1
      Do Stuff here
ElseIf ButtonDown = False Then
      Flag = 0
EndIf
```
Basically, what that does is limit the use to ONE time per press, as the value only resets once you would release the button in question.
