multiple things done at once

[gnomic]

Hey,

How can i run two functions at the same time? i read that, if i use two .Au3 at the same time, then it will use multiple processors? and not multithreating - i dont know the difference?

thanks

You cannot

It will use tow processes

Correct

Try a web search

Multi-threading... is basically, calling multiple functions within ur script (not supported in AU3) at the same time, ideally using a single process. You can get help on your subject reading this: http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Interrupting_a_running_function

Not upto the mark, but something useful.

@JohnOne

If they each run on a different processor, then my guess would be, it was posible to run at the same time? else i dont see the point, atleast

Not different processor different process. As JohnOne suggested, do some searching online for multithreading.

This worked, when i ran them at the same time, so i guess this is enough.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$hWnd = GUICreate("", 200, 200, 200, 200)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 50, 50)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Local $i = 0
While $i <= 5000
   GUICtrlSetData ($label, $i)
   $i = $i + 1
   sleep(20)
WEnd
While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
WEnd

gnomic,

Can you explain what you are trying to do that requires you to run 2 scripts? Then we might be able to offer some concrete help rather than vague hints.

In help file, search for 'command Line Parameters'...you can do a Run () command with the Form4 type:

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"')

or, you can call a seperate exe you compiled, to initiate that script while the current still runs also.

edit...oh, just noticed what you are doing...you just want a switch case within one of your while loops, or conditional steps

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$hWnd = GUICreate("", 200, 200, 200, 200)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 50, 50)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Local $i = 0
While 1
 $msg = GUIGetMsg()
 If $i <= 5000 Then
  GUICtrlSetData ($label, $i)
  $i = $i + 1
  sleep(20)
 EndIf
 ; add in any messages you are looking for here...use switch case when lots
 If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then
  Exit
 EndIf
WEnd
