autoit exe compiled script to run syncronously?? - (Moved)

[FrancoBordin]

Hi, there.

Searched on the forum but wasn't able to find anything about it.

Is there any way to force compiled autoit script (exe) to run syncronously?

To be more specific: look at this minimal script "MyWait.au3":

-------------------------

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Sleep(10000)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "End", "10 seconds gone!")

-------------------------

When i compile to the file "MyWait.exe", and then i run it (under command prompt) like this:

c:>MyWait

the prompt is immediately restored and after 10 seconds the msgbox appears (it runs asyncronously).

Instead, if i run it like this:

c:>start /wait "MyWait.exe"

The prompt is not restored until the script is entirely processed

Is there any way, maybe some autoit directive or so, to force the script to be syncronous by himself, without using the "start /wait" launching mode?

Any help appreciated

Compile it CUI instead of GUI

Thank you so much!

What a dumb i am!

I was ever convinced the the CUI option was incompatible with any GUI control, so i thought it was not a valid option (in my case) because my applications run either GUI-interactively (when invoked without positional parameters) and non-interactively (invoked with positiona parameters).

Aside from the "syncronous" property, what are exactly the effects of a "CUI" compilation?

Thanks again

You can do ConsoleWrite and it will show in the DOS console.
