show more than 1 occurence of _ArrayDisplay

[aiter]

Is there a way to show more than 1 occurence of _ArrayDisplay?

I cannot show more than 1 occurence.  I have to close the existing occurence before I can view another one.

AutoIt being mono-threaded, it isn't possible. What you could do is create your own _ArrayDisplay-looking GUI with all bells and whistles you need and invoke _ArrayDisplay separately.

@aiter,

Can you provide your code for us to check?

I'd add that since _ArrayDisplay internally uses its own message loop, you would have to handle your own array GUI in event mode (2 message loops can't be used at once).

another alternative: instead of _ArrayDisplay, write the array to a text file, and ShellExecute that file. so your script can go on about its business while you can view side-by-side as many arrays as you want.

you can improve on that by writing the arrays to CSV files, then open several such files inside one Excel workbook.

The new _DebugArrayDisplay has built-in functionality to do exactly that:

#include <Debug.au3>

Global $aArray1 = [ 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ]
Global $aArray2 = [ 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 ]
Global $aArray3 = [ 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 ]

_DebugArrayDisplay( $aArray1, "$aArray1", "", 0, Default, Default, Default, ShowArray2 )

Func ShowArray2( $p1, $p2 )
  _DebugArrayDisplay( $aArray2, "$aArray2", "", 0, Default, Default, Default, ShowArray3 )
EndFunc

Func ShowArray3( $p1, $p2 )
  _DebugArrayDisplay( $aArray3, "$aArray3" )
EndFunc
