FF.au3 UDF pauses MessageLoop

[MrFreeman102]

Hey fellow programmers.

 

First of all: I'm pretty new to AutoIt, but not to programming.

I am trying to fill stuff into online forms on several websites. I want to achieve this by using the FF.au3 UDF for interaction with Firefox.

Now, when I try to use any function from the UDF, the active GUI which is displayed can't be accessed anymore. Buttons are unpressable and the animation lags, the exit-button doesn't respond and so on.

I just checked the MessageLoop, it doesn't run anymore as soon as I start a function (in this case _FFStart())

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem? Is threading possible in AutoIt or is there an easier solution to this? Thanks in advance.

Do you have Mozrepl installed / started on the workstation in question? If that's not the issue, then I would suggest posting a scaled down version of your script to demonstrate the issue.
