Elizabeth Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Buttons on GUI to perform different tasks. SETUP is a task that involves displaying another GUI, doing calculations, writing lines to 2 external files, displaying information on GUI labels. The info from the displayed GUI (quantity made and job completed YES or NO) must be included on the written lines. I cannot get the script to run synchronously (waterfall execution 1st one ends before 2nd one starts.) That means lines written to the files do not contain the required data. I have read through FORUM and thought by inserting a boolean value and changing TRUE FALSE that I could solve this issue. I would have to set/reset the boolean before every function call to make it work. I've tried using Sleep but that just slows everything down and makes main GUI look unresponsive Is there a trick or tip someone can provide that forces synchronous execution? I am using OPT GUIOnEventMode Thank you for any insight into this issue.
BrewManNH Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Post your script. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Elizabeth Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 I figured out how to use GUISwitch to pass control among the GUI forms I am using in the script. Variables are global. Thank you for making the forum possible as a learning resource. Seeing so many replies about using the on-line help forced me to keep looking through GUI commands. That's how I stumbled on GUISwitch. I am using ONEVENT and most examples in HELP use GETMSG but the information was available. I just had to dig deeper and learn lots more! My script is running as I need it to now. Topic can be "closed".
