mutiple threads

[desertcolt]

I have two functions as seperate au3 files and I have a top.au3 script like

---------------------------

#include "file1.au3"

#include "file2.au3"

func1()

func2()

---------------------------

The above functions execute one by one BUT I want both the functions to execute simultaneously. How I can do that ?

You have to turn the scripts into .exe's to use Run() or use Run() in conjunction with AutoIt3.exe. Make sure you call the function at the beginning of the scripts.

Because of the way AutoIt is setup... we dont support multi threading from one script. If you want 2 things done at the same time you have to run 2 scripts at the same time. (Though it wont really be at the exact same time).

Welcome to the forums!

Depending on what you're trying to do, sometimes it's possible to achieve the working of two functions within the one function (through clever use of TimerInit() and TimerDiff(), etc.).

If you feel like posting your code we might be able to help you do it this way if running two scripts simultaneously doesn't appeal to you.

In particular, my last post to this thread might give you some inspiration depending on what you want to achieve.

This should work. You must compile it to an exe.

#NoTrayIcon

If $CmdLine[0] = 1 And $CmdLine[1] == "!func1" Then
    AutoItWinSetTitle("!func1")
    func1()
    Exit
EndIf

Run('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" !func1')
WinWait("!func1")
func2()
WinWaitClose("!func1"); syncronize
msgbox(0, "both funcs done", "")
Exit

Func func1()
   msgbox(0, "Function One", "")
EndFunc

Func func2()
   msgbox(0, "Function Two", "")
EndFunc

I can't even see the box with this one!
