rowish Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hello, My struggle to work out a custom pop-up window is in vain. I want to build a GUI which provides a window that is hidden for a certain interval of time and then pops-up to remind the user a repetitive activity. The user should be able to acknowledge the message unless he ignores the pop-up so its time-out will hide it again to resume the cycle. All seams to be sorted out excepting the loop which hides and shows the pop-up after initial start. Trying to enclose it in a logical loop seems to mess up the timers and to brake the GUIGetMsg() function, so there is no control over GUI. Here is the code: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Timers.au3> Local $OK, $Exit, $msg $hGUI = GUICreate("Vision Saver", 190, 65) GUICtrlCreateLabel("It's time for a brake!", 10, 10) $OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 30, 80, 20) GuiCtrlSetState (-1, 512) $Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 100, 30, 80, 20) GUISetState() ; Initial display While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $OK GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) Sleep(5000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;First popup after delay; _Timer_SetTimer($hGUI, 2000, "Autohide", -1) ;Set timeout if user do not interfere ;Placehlder for the loop Case $Exit GUIDelete() Exit Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GUIDelete() Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func Autohide($hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime) GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) EndFunc Anybody could help me, please? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2013 rowish, You are overcomplicating things: ; Set a timestamp $iBegin = TimerInit() While 1 ; Has enough time passed? If TimerDiff($iBegin) > 5000 Then ; Currently set to 5 secs for testing ; Reset the timestamp $iBegin = TimerInit() ; Show the dialog MsgBox(0, "Vision Saver", "Time for a break", 2) ; Times out after 2 secs EndIf WEnd Please ask if you have any questions.

BrewManNH Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This script will show the GUI every 10 seconds, and if not acted on will hide it in 2 seconds. I have included 2 ways of doing it, the current way uses one function to show and hide the GUI, but I've also included a way to do it with 2 separate functions that set each other. This uses the Adlib functions to do the timing. The reason I included the 2 function version as well is in case you want to do something else other than just hiding/showing the GUI while this is running. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ;~ Comment out the following line, and uncomment the line after it for the 2 function method AdlibRegister("AutoShowHide", 10000) ; sets timer so the GUI shows every 10 seconds ;~ AdlibRegister("AutoShow", 10000) ; sets timer so the GUI shows every 10 seconds Local $OK, $Exit, $msg $hGUI = GUICreate("Vision Saver", 190, 65) GUICtrlCreateLabel("It's time for a break!", 10, 10) $OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 30, 80, 20) GUICtrlSetState(-1, 512) $Exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 100, 30, 80, 20) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $OK ;~ Comment out the following line, and uncomment the line after it for the 2 function method Autoshowhide() ; hides the GUI ;~ AutoHide() Case $Exit, $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GUIDelete() Exit EndSwitch WEnd ;~ Uncomment the following 2 functions if using the 2 function method ;~ Func Autohide() ;~ AdlibUnRegister("AutoHide") ; Unregisters the AutoHide timer ;~ GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) ;~ AdlibRegister("AutoShow", 10000) ; Reregisters the AutoShow timer ;~ EndFunc ;==>Autohide ;~ Func AutoShow() ;~ AdlibUnRegister("AutoShow") ; Unregisters the AutoShow timer ;~ GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;~ AdlibRegister("AutoHide", 2000) ; Registers the AutoHide timer, set to 2 seconds ;~ EndFunc ;==>AutoShow ;~ You can comment out the following function if using the 2 function method, but not really needed ;~ because it won't be used if you followed the instructions above. Func AutoShowHide() Local Static $Toggle $Toggle = Not $Toggle If $Toggle Then GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) AdlibRegister("AutoShowHide", 2000) ; Resets the AutoShowHide timer to 2 seconds Else GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) AdlibRegister("AutoShowHide", 10000) ; Resets the AutoShowHide timer to 10 seconds EndIf EndFunc ;==>AutoShowHide If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
