chewy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I know this should probably be basic programming but I am having an issue with this. I am trying to create a simple app that pings a server to tell if it is up or not. if it is up it puts a checkbox image and if is not reachable it is given an x image. My code seems to work fine but I cant get the window to close when I click the close "x". It seems like it is too busy to close it or something. Sorry for the probably noob question. #include <INet.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> GUICreate("Hello World", 300, 300) $buttonServer1 = GuiCtrlCreatePic("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ping server test\Exclamation.bmp",110,0, 0,0) GUISetState() $i = 0 While 1 $var = Ping("www.google.com") If $var Then; also possible: If @error = 0 Then ... GUICtrlSetImage($buttonServer1, "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ping server test\CheckMark.bmp") GUISetState() $i = $i + 1 Sleep(10000) ;two seconds Else GUICtrlSetImage($ButtonServer1, "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ping server test\Failed.bmp") GUISetState() $i = $i + 1 Sleep(10000) ;two seconds EndIf WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvn Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) help file: Ping ( "address/hostname" [, timeout] ) its better set timeout, to minimize delay! this code from somewhere in forum ConsoleWrite(_ping("http:\\www.google.com")); test 1 Func _ping($host) $var = Ping($host,250) If $var Then Return $var & "/ms"& @CRLF Switch @error Case 1 Return "Host is offline" & @CRLF Case 2 Return "Host is unreachable"& @CRLF Case 3 Return "Bad destination"& @CRLF Case 4 Return "Other errors"& @CRLF EndSwitch EndFunc btw, this one what i use to checking connection, maybe can help #Region _isconnect2host Func _isconnect2host($svHost, $ivSleepTime = 250) InetGet($svHost, @TempDir&"\foo.html",1,1) While @InetGetActive ConsoleWrite("Downloading: Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead & @CRLF) If @InetGetBytesRead > 0 Then Return True EndIf Sleep($ivSleepTime) Wend Return False EndFunc #EndRegion Edited August 24, 2010 by rvn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 help file: Ping ( "address/hostname" [, timeout] ) its better set timeout, to minimize delay! i did put that in but it had no effect on being able to close the window. im on a win 7 pro machine if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 add these lines into the while loop: $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

chewy Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 I took out the sleep commands and the gui doesnt lock up now. However I would still like the script to pause for a certain number of seconds between ping polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Instead of using sleep(x) use something like this instead $Timer = TimerInit) While 1 $var = Ping("www.google.com") $Delay = TimerDiff($timer) If $Delay >= 2000 Then ;2 seconds delay check If $var Then; also possible: If @error = 0 Then ... GUICtrlSetImage($buttonServer1, "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ping server test\CheckMark.bmp") GUISetState() $i = $i + 1 Else GUICtrlSetImage($ButtonServer1, "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ping server test\Failed.bmp") GUISetState() $i = $i + 1 EndIf $Timer = TimerInit() Endif WEnd Edited August 24, 2010 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

BrewManNH Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Change this : Endif Wend To This: Endif Sleep(10) Wend It will decrease the CPU load immensely and still let you break out of it using the onevent function calls.
