Wanted a timer that does not use WM_TIMER for callback

[MouseSpotter]

Hi,

I need a timer that does not pause when the windows title bar has the mouse button held down on it.

For an example:

HotKeySet("{esc}","_exit")
Global $ticks = 0

GUICreate("hold mouse down on title")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

AdlibRegister("tick",100)
while True
WEnd

Func tick()
$ticks +=1
ToolTip($ticks)
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
Exit
EndFunc

I suspect AdLibRegister is responding to the WM_TIMER event.

ditto for _TIMER_SETTIMER UDF

Note: sometimes the timer stops when other windows are mouse downed (e.g. the system taskbar)

So I am looking for something that allows you to call it with a callback, returns to the code then invokes a callback at a certain point in the future.

Thanks

Check this

Hold the click but the still the function would be executed.

#include <Timers.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("")
WinSetOnTop($hGUI, "", 1) ;So that you can see the Window even you click the Taskbar

Global $iLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("100", 10, 10)
$iTimer = _Timer_SetTimer($hGUI, 250, "CountDown") ;Set the TIMER
GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Sleep(10)
WEnd
_Timer_KillTimer($hGUI, $iTimer)

Func CountDown($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

$iRead = Int(GUICtrlRead($iLabel))
If $iRead = 0 Then $iRead = 10001
GUICtrlSetData($iLabel, $iRead - 1)

EndFunc
