GyuK Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 is there any alternative for GuiGetMsg? seems that this function auto sleep and this is a problem cause i use it alot in my code, without any sleep in it im getting 0% cpu usage (and my processor is shitty) while to my code work properly i need it to use cpu, are there any other way to get the guimsg without the GuiGetMsg function or at least an way to GuiGetMsg dont sleep so i can manage the sleep of my code to it work the way i want?
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 23, 2014 Moderators Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) GyuK,I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that. GUIGetMsg has a built-in sleep of up to 15ms to give the processor time to breathe - getting 0% CPU when nothing is happening is a good thing! However, if you want to try another way of doing things, you can use OnEvent mode - it has both advantages and disadvantages compared to MessageLoop mode, it is up to you to decide which is best for you and the particular script you are coding. Look in the Help file under <GUI Reference> to see how to use the 2 modes. M23Edit: Welcome to the AutoIt forum, by the way.

Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted May 23, 2014 Moderators Solution Posted May 23, 2014 GyuK, Quote the functions is long i need to call GuiGetMsg several times in the function otherwise the gui will be frozenThe Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki might be of interest - it shows how to recognise control events while a long function is running. Or you might consider running this long function in a separate process - possibly by using an .a3x file run by the main script interpreter. There are several examples on the forum - let me know if you have problems finding one and I will write an example to show you what I mean.
