Question of sleep()

[dongaman]

That may be complicated, sorry my poor nonnative english

I build a GUI app with many functions.And i set GUIOnEventMode to 1.In the main gui，I use while(1)and sleep(1000) to loop the gui.

My QUESTION is: Wether any other function i will be paused or to be unstable while the dead loop in main gui sleeping?

BECAUSE:

1 The function i defined have some while(1) loop to receive console application's output.

2 The console app is child app created from my main gui app.

No , sleeps in the main loop should have no influence on the functions if you utilize OnEventMode.

But I found nothing about sleep's 'bad smell' in autoit help doc.

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

'bad smell' means influence.

I used this c++ terms

Oh, I see . Sleep in the main loop can't interfere with your functions as AutoIt is a single-threaded language (@usual suspects: bash me for wrong wording , pllleeeease ). When you call a function via OnEvent the single main thread's working on that function and will never call the main loop until the function returns.

ok, I hope so
