Is GUIGetMsg() missing the message?

[nitekram]

Sometimes returns -11, thought it was suppose to return 0 if nothing happened?

Have not been able to write a small script to show it happening though! Has anyone else seen this?

I've never actually bothered to view what GUIGetMsg() returns. I have only matched it against known control handles, as in a typical GUI polling setup.

I would assume the -11 is being returned because something is happening, it's just a matter of finding out what.

[Skrip]

GuiConstantsEx.au3

; Events and messages
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE = -3
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE = -4
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE = -5
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE = -6
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN = -7
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP = -8
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYDOWN = -9
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYUP = -10
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_MOUSEMOVE = -11
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED = -12
Global Const $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED = -13

It does return 0 if nothing happen. Open GUIConstantsEx.au3 and you'll see that -11 is $GUI_EVENT_MOUSEMOVE.

Guess I should have looked there first - was just strange, as I guess the help file shows the variable names, not the values.

Next time I will have to take a peek at the code - who knows, I might learn something else too.

Thanks for pointing this out to me...
