GUIOnEventMode help needed, only 1 button seems to work

[Kovacic 14]

Semi experienced developer here.. I have never fully gotten the handle of using GUIOnEventMode, so i thought I would try it with a small simple program that I can paste some text into, then have it count down, and type it out for me.. I use this for when I am iLO into a server and I cant paste. For those of you not familiar with iLO, it stands for Integrated Lights Out. in short, it lets you remote into a server even if its having BIOS issue and wont start.. more details here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/servers/ilo/

 

Anyway, when in iLO, you cant paste anything. Sometimes I need to copy bash scripting from my computer to the server, so I drop it in the little app, then use it to type out the script in the iLO screen. I have it so it does a countdown before sending the keys, and a delay between each key ( because iLO will sometimes hang up a little ). 

 

The app I am trying to write will count down, then send whatever is in the edit box. I also have a stop button in case you want to stop the app, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I feel like I'm using GUIOnEventMode improperly. Can someone take a peek?

The GUISetOnEvent  will work if you place it after the GUICreate
For the stop button you might read this

Very cool! Thanks for the resource, I will follow up on this!

I would solve the problem with AdlibRegister:
