moshi 0 Posted August 2, 2010 Hello, I have a basic question in autoit - how to use menu? I added the code to create to the menu, but didn't manage to run a command when clicking on it. Thanks for any Help this is the code for creating the menu: (working fine) $GlobalMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Global") $ExitDisconnectItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit and &Disconnect",$GlobalMenu,0) $ExitItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Exit",$GlobalMenu,1) this is what I try to do to run a command when a menu is clicked (Not working) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $ExitItem Then MsgBox (1,"tt","message") Sleep(2000) ; Idle around WEnd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melba23 3,498 Posted August 2, 2010 moshi,This works fine for me: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $GlobalMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Global") $ExitDisconnectItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit and &Disconnect", $GlobalMenu, 0) $ExitItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Exit", $GlobalMenu, 1) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $ExitItem Then MsgBox(1, "tt", "message") WEndNote you do not need a Sleep in your While...WEnd loop if you use GUIGetMsg. As explained in the Help file, the function puts in its own sleep for you.
