batfastad Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone I've written a simple GUI for a batch processing script, it's a wrapper for a command line utility and it works well. What's the best way of preventing the GUI from closing at the end of the script, once it hits the Exit statement? Once my batch processing loop has finished, I'd like to keep the GUI idling until my exit button or window close are pressed. I've got this at the moment... While 1 Sleep(1000) WEnd Is this the recommended method and recommended delay? Cheers, B Edited October 5, 2012 by batfastad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If there's an exit command in the script, it's going to exit. The only way to prevent that is to remove the Exit. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

abberration Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here's how I would approach it. The example below will keep the gui open even after the exit button is pushed until the cmd.exe window closes. #include <GUIConstants.au3> $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ShellExecute(@DesktopDir & "MyBatchFile.bat") While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE While WinExists("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe") Sleep(1000) WEnd Exit EndSwitch WEnd Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
