rm65453 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Everyone, I have been using a script at work for the last 6 months or so. It gets some information from the window title and keeps it in its memory for retrieval. currently I am running an infinite loop to look for the window title, the information in the memory is only updated if a few window title is detected. The trouble with this approach as you can see, is the cpu usage. I was wondering if somehow I can only run this script when a windows change event occurs, otherwise the script stays dormant. I have no idea how to do that, searched on forum and found some solutions that were years old and did not work for me. Thanks
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 28, 2015 Moderators Posted May 28, 2015 rm65453,Do you have a Sleep in this infinite loop? Even a Sleep(10) gives the CPU enough time to breathe. I have several AutoIt executables running permanently without any problems.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area

rm65453 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 sorry about the late reply, did not set up email alerts for this thread. Just tried the sleep (10) and the cpu usage is down to 1%, what a huge improvement with such a simple solution. Brilliant!! Thanks Melba23
