_CommGetLineStates()

[ajit 0]

Hi,

This is regarding Martin's Serial Port UDF.

I want to poll _CommGetLineStates() continuously.

Is there a way other than to use AdlibRegister or putting _CommGetLineStates()in a While Loop as these methods stop the polling as soon as the script is paused for example with a Message Box?

Thanking in anticipation

Regards

Use a timer.

#include <timers.au3>
Global $hMB, $iCount
$t1 = _Timer_SetTimer(0, 500, "UpdateMsgbox")


MsgBox(262144, "Title Number 1", "The timer is still working!")

_Timer_KillTimer(0,$t1)

exit

Func UpdateMsgbox($a, $b, $c, $d);must have parameters or func will not work even though they are not used
    If $hMB = '' Then $hMB = WinGetHandle("Title Number")
    $iCount += 1
    WinSetTitle($hMB, "", "Title Number " & $iCount)

EndFunc   ;==>UpdateMsgbox

$
