Kovacic Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I tried to tackle this about a year ago and gave up.. I write many autoit apps and they all seems to have a similar issue on windows 7. While running, they are always in the 'not responding' status with windows, and now our disk encryption software is popping in and killing my apps due to not responding.. From what I have read, I have to 'Pump the windows message queue' with messages, but I haven't the slightest idea how to do this in autoit. If anyone has a solution or a though, I would be eternally grateful! Here is my demo code: #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> $Form1 = GUICreate("Crash Test Dummy", 314, 123, 192, 114) GUICtrlCreateGroup("Crash test", 8, 8, 289, 89) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Do Something", 24, 24, 75, 25) $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 24, 64, 257, 21) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Msgbox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"hey there","Open Task manager, the parent app is 'Running' but the moment you close this box, it will start counting and go to 'Not Responding', even if you click Do Something.") GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $Form1) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 guictrlsetdata($input1, "0") for $i = 1 to 201 guictrlsetdata($input1, $i) $i+=1 sleep(100) next sleep(500) guictrlsetdata($input1, "0") EndSwitch WEnd Any thoughts / idea are welcome!!

BrewManNH Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 That code works just fine for me on Windows 7. 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.

MHz Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The code functions fine testing on Windows 7 Pro here. It is something probably in your environment causing the issue such as the encryption software you mentioned or something other. Some kinds of software do interfere with processes. If it goes to not responding immediately after closing the Msgbox and with doing nothing else, then I doubt the message queue is the issue.

Kovacic Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Interesting.. I am using windows 7 enterprise, but I doubt that has anything to do with it... So im thinking its an issue with our disk image.. Thanks for the feedback! C0d3 is P0etry( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
