loop or timer DURING msgbox

[andygo 1]

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?

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
