Problem with Start Button in my Application

[vishu]

Hi All,

Am new to this forum, but long time since I have been relying on this forum for my questions and for sure have found the answers at ease in this forum.

This time am stuck up with an issue. I have a script which creates a GUI and upon clicking start button execution starts once execution starts other button press is not being recognized even though I have declared "Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)" , but much to my surprise all the buttons presses are recognized before pressing the start buttons but after pressing the same the other buttons are not recognized(Ex: I have Exit,Pause buttons in my App)

Pl Guide me.

Thanks to one and All.

My special thanks to AutoIt Admins for hosting such a wonder full site :-)

Note: Am attaching my Script for your reference too.

Cheers,

Vishu

The description sounded familiar, and sure enough, I found the problem without even reading your script. I saw "GuiOnEventMode" at the top, and then search for any instance of GuiGetMsg()... bingo!

Once you enable "GuiOnEventMode", GuiGetMsg() cannot be used at all, and will only return 0. It's all-or-nothing. If you want to use events (which I prefer myself), use events for everything.

Hi PsaltyDS,

Wow that was amazing you excatly pinpoint the problem that was too good I could understand the conflict between GuiOnEventMode and GuiGetMsg().

But I have one doubt is their any alternative way wherein I could use any othe command other than GuiGetMsg().along with GuiOnEventMode. If so pl let me know it would be great.

Thanks once again PsaltyDS.

...is their any alternative way wherein I could use any othe command other than GuiGetMsg().along with GuiOnEventMode.

Say what? I didn't understand the question, but in general you have a choice to either code the entire script to use GuiGetMsg() loop, or code the entire script to use event mode for everything.

There are technically ways to try and play them both or switch between modes on the fly, but that's unnecessarily complicated and nobody would want to do that. If you haven't figured out how to get either method working by itself, you certainly aren't ready to try an absurdly complicated mixing of them.
