releasing GUICtrlCreateButton's command ?

[MariusN]

Hi fellow scripters. Does anyone here know how i can release a GUICtrlCreateButton's command? Let's say i have a

function in my script that THIS GUICtrlCreateButton calls...It will usely release itself AFTER the function has

completed. Thing is, i want it to release as soon as the function starts. So to my knowlege, I have to put something

in the very beginning of the function called, to release the button...

something that might look like "GUIDelete($button5)"...

Thanks for the reply Dolemite50, but that wasnt actually what i meant...Lets say for instance you got a menu with 2 buttons...You click the first, and have to wait till its finished before using the 2nd button...I want to use butto 2 WHILE button 1 is still in progress...Is this possible?

Uggh, now you're getting into a grey area for me. I may be wrong, but as far as I know AutoIt can't run multiple funcs simultaneously by default. If you search for "multithreading" you'll find more info and a few workarounds. Like I said, don't quote me on that.

If you just want to run func1 until button2 is pressed then check out _IsPressed and _ControlGetHovered. With those two you can create a func such as "_CheckPressed()" that you'll call from within the Button1 func. It will tell you when another button has been pressed and you can take it from there.

I'm still not sure what you're trying to do so if you hit me up with some code I might be able to help further.

You can simply use GUIOnEventMode.

Or place your GUI event processing in a function and call that continuously while executing the function that's being called on button 1.
