GUICtrlSetOnEvent Problems


Markus
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I wrote a script to look for numbers who can only be divided through themselves and through 1.

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19 and so on. It works very nice. But there are some problems left. because in this script i also have many other functions, its a gui maths box u can do many things that have to do with maths. So I have many buttons. The problem now is, that if I start the search function with a GUICtrlSetOnEvent-button and i want to use another button/function with a set on event function, the second button function doesnt start, because the PC wants to finish the search function, startet by the first button. Is there any way to stop the search function by a button, while search function is running? Please help me. Maybe there's already a topic posted, but i haven't found one, that's exactly about my problem.

You could use HotKeySet to setup a key to stop the search function.

Right, I used this solution but i didnt like it, because i want that my buttons are useable in this function. I hate uselss buttons.

instead of functions, you could use seperate compiled scripts (with tray icons disabled) that way when you click the button, it runs the other script with a Run() so it can continue it's own execution. without multi-threading, you kind of have to fake it.

from the help file:

OnEvent Mode

In the On Event mode instead of constantly polling the GUI to find out if anything has happened you make the GUI temporarily pause your script and call a pre-defined function to handle the event. For example, if the user clicks Button1 the GUI halts your main script and calls a previously defined user function that deals with Button1

So, I guess there is no way to interrupt your search function while it is running. To do so with one single script, we would need multithreading, which is not implemented. So, your options are:

1.) Use HotKeySet

2.) Use multiple Scripts for your functions, compile them and call em via Run(). However, then you'll have to pass the calling parameters and results between the scripts. Possible (through Registry, INI files or ENV variables) but kind of "ugly".

Cheers
