DLLCall halts script

[tlman12 0]

Is there anyway to do a dllcall that dosn't hold up the script while its going?

i know some dll functions have a callback function that would allow this, but i'm using one where the callback funciton isn't documented or not that i can find. It's for the DeleteProfile fucntion in Userenv.dll

heres a link to the msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762273(VS.85).aspx

i want to have some sort of progress bar but on some computers the dll call is so slow that the computer thinks the script has frozen..

Cant see a callback version on MSDN. Maybe first delete the profile directories in a loop and afterwards remove the profile? Should speed up the dllcall itself at least.

Perhaps you could run it in a new process.

Perhaps you could run it in a new process.

Thought about that too, though he wont get any progress indication. Hmmm, maybe loop calling a DirGetSize()? If you try that, search forum for _DirGetSizeEx, as DirGetSize itself is also blocking ...
