Having difficulties trying to run a function

[98700]

In my script you hit a key and it runs another .au3 script, and i am trying to get it so after that script is finished it will run another function in the main script. I have looked through the help file and i couldn't see any way i could do this. Any ideas?

Try RunWait or ShellExecuteWait, post your attempts if you run into difficulty.

Oh and Welcome to the forums!

HotKeySet() may also be useful. Here is a small demo.

HotKeySet("{F1}", "_Launch")

Func _Launch()
    HotKeySet("{F1}")
    RunWait(@AutoItExe & " /AutoIt3ExecuteScript MyScript2.au3")
    _OnCompleteFunction()
    HotKeySet("{F1}", "_Launch")
EndFunc   ;==>_Launch

Func _OnCompleteFunction()
    MsgBox(64, Default, "Script has been run.")
EndFunc   ;==>_OnCompleteFunction

While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Hope this helps

$Tray_About = TrayCreateItem("About")

Dim $MultiBot_AccelTable[3][2] = [["^s", $Menu_Save],["{ESC}", $Menu_Exit],["{F1}", $Menu_Help]]
GUISetAccelerators($MultiBot_AccelTable)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
HotKeySet("{ENTER}","LaunchScript")


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func LaunchScript ()
    HotKeySet("{Enter}")
    RunWait(@AutoItExe & "C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LastChaosFindPosition.exe")
    ShowPosition()
    HotKeySet("{Enter}", "_Launch")
EndFunc

Func ShowPosition()
    $LCposX = IniRead("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LCPosition.ini", "Position", "X", "Null")
    $LCposY = IniRead("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LCPosition.ini", "Position", "Y", "Null")
    $LCposition = GUICtrlCreateLabel("LC is at " & $LCposX & "' " & $LCposY & ".", 224, 25, 100, 17)
EndFunc

And this is the script i am trying to execute and wait til its finished to do something else..

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3> 


Global $LastChaosX = 0
Global $LastChaosY = 0


HotKeySet( "{Tab}" ,"FoundLC")

WinMinimizeAll()

MsgBox(0,"Find Last Chaos", "Move mouse ontop of the Last Chaos Icon and push Tab")

Func FoundLC()
    $LCIcon = MouseGetPos()
    IniWrite("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LCPosition.ini", "Position", "X", $LCIcon[0])
    IniWrite("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LCPosition.ini", "Position", "Y", $LCIcon[1])
    MsgBox(0,"","Saved")
    $FoundLC = True
EndFunc

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Try

RunWait(@AutoItExe & " C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LastChaosFindPosition.au3")

Or

RunWait("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LastChaosFindPosition.exe")

Pick one

And what gui do you suppose this is getting a Msg from

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Because it dosent have a gui.

[98700]

Yeah i am using one of those now, and i use it because if i dont have it clicking the close button doesnt do anything.

[JohnOne]

So which one worked?

In the "trying to execute" there is no GUI from which to get a Msg.

[98700]

i used something similar to this one

RunWait("C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\LastChaosFindPosition.exe")

And what do you mean there is no GUI? i create one in the first script.

[JohnOne]

That's in the first script, I'm pretty certain that a totally different script will not get a message from the firsts GUI without some hooking voodoo.

[98700]

Oh i see what you mean now. Well anyway thank you for the help!
