loop or timer DURING msgbox

[andygo]

hello,

i want to do this:

_Timer_SetTimer($maingui, 1000, "blink")
if msgbox (68, "test", "test", 0, WinGetHandle ($hi)) = 6 Then $i = 0
_Timer_KillAllTimers($maingui)

func blink()
    GuiSetState(@sw_hide, $area)
    sleep(500)
    GuiSetState(@sw_show, $area)
endfunc

if a special button is clicked in my maingui a msgbox pops up.

during the msgbox i want my gui blinking. but the code above dont work.

could someone help me?

Is the return value of the MsgBox important?

SOLVED, sorry i just forgot the timer-func variables....

In case you don't need the return value of the MsgBox you don't need the Timer-functions.

Global $i = 0

AdlibRegister("_Blink", 100)
Local $str = "Local $x = MsgBox(64, 'Test', 'Hello!!')"
Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "' & $str & '"')


While 1
 Sleep(2000000)
WEnd

Func _Blink()
 ToolTip($i)
 $i += 1
EndFunc
