This area allows you to assign common tasks, like turning on logging or taking a screenshot, to the function keys (the row with F1 through F12 at the top of your keyboard). You can map the following functions:


Time toggle

???

Time slow

Slows down the hooked program. See Time Slider and Special Keys.

Clip toggle

Toggles the clipping region ON and OFF so that you can exit the game area and control other tasks or move/resize your game window. See Special Keys.

Log toggle

Toggles logging ON/OFF. Since painting operations can be quite verbose, toggling the log can be a useful trick to get information about a specific program's activity without having to browse tons of log lines. See Special Keys.

FPS toggle

Toggle the FPS display ON and OFF. See Special Keys.

Corner tog.

???

Fullscr. t.

Toggles between fullscreen mode and windowed mode.

Desktop t.

???

Time fast

Speeds up the hooked program. See Time Slider and Special Keys.

Alt-F4

This key is the well known quit command for any task. If the application doesn't react quickly enough to your command, you can set the “Intercept Alt-F4 key” option to cause DxWnd to immediately quit the program. See Special Keys.

Refresh

Forces a surface repaint. Some old games didn't even consider the possibility of a task overriding the game area, so they don't repaint when they should. This is a technical detail, but if your game screen gets dirty, try this key to fix it. See Special Keys.

label4

???

Print screen

Captures an image of the current screen in the hooked program and saves it to your computer's clipboard.

Time freeze
