[SOLVED] TimerDiff doesn't working when MsgBox

[michaelslamet]

I dont know if this is a correct thread title,

basicly what I want to do is every 30secs some commands get executed.

But when the application display MsgBox (need a user response), those commands doesn't get executed.

Do
If TimerDiff($iPingTimer) >= 30000 Then ;30sec
_Query ($SQLInstance_Local, "SELECT 1;")
     $iPingTimer = TimerInit()
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
     case $msg = $button1
             MsgBox(0,"Info","Please click OK to continue")
     EndSelect
Until False

When user click $button1, the application display MsgBox ("Please click OK to continue"). While waiting the user to click the "OK" button, it doesn't execute "_Query ($SQLInstance_Local, "SELECT 1;")" every 30 seconds.

Don't use a message box if you need your script to continue. It is a blocking function and, as you've seen, not correct for this type of script. Knowing this, you should probably add in your own GUI to replace the message box.

Thanks, BrewManNH

I'm replacing MsgBox with NotifyBox () which doesn't pause the script.

Looks great, so I'm going to edit this thread as SOLVED

I use that UDF myself for pop up messages, very handy.
