script pauses when i try drag the gui

[andygo]

hello,

i have a countdownpart in my script like this:

$i = 10
while $i > 0
    $i -= 1
    sleep(1000)
wend

when i try to drag my gui with mousepointer to another position DURING active countdown,

countdown stops as long as mousekey is down and continues when i release mousekey.

is this a normal reaction from autiot? how can i prevent this?

thanks, andy (germany)

This is normal behavior. Many windows programs written in other languages show this characteristic.

You need to use a timer, AdlibRegister won't work in this situation.

Something like this

#include <timers.au3>
Global $h = 1

$G1 = GUICreate("JKH",300,300)
$L0 = GUICtrlCreateLabeL("1000",50,50)
GUISetState()

_Timer_SetTimer($g1,500,"addup")

while 1
    sleep(200)
    if GUIGetMsg() = -3 then exit
WEnd


Func addup($a,$b,$c,$d)
    $h += 1
    GUICtrlSetData($L0,$h)
EndFunc

NP.

I forgot to mention that the function called by the timer has to have parameters even if you don't use them, as my example, or the function won't work. See the help for what the parameters can be used for.

yes, i recognized that during some tests. i found this in the help:

Func _UpdateStatusBarClock($hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime)
    #forceref $hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime

but at the moment i dont use the parameters so i did it similair your example with just ($a, $b, $c, $d).
