GUI getmsg/onevent?

[Faleira 0]

I'm currently working on a script that i want so that the GUI is sort of like a 'remote control' type thing. Where, you open the GUI, and hit a button and a scrip runs. But while it runs, i can constantly just change the variables in the script being run whenever i want, by bringing up the GUI and then 'updating' the variables. My main question is just; would it be better to use getmsg or onevent for such a task?

Are you talking about using one script to change variables in another? If so you could use an ini file to accomplish this.

no, the script i'm making, will constantly be updating the variables as the othero ne runs. I don't want to have it constantly do inireads... >.>

I have found that if you have lots of statements in your getmsg loop then sometimes it misses a click or is slow to react. In this case I use onevent.

Probably an issue with a Sleep() you have in there (Probably to long but you feel necessary to keep the cpu healthy)... and or Not using proper Select/Case but rather a bunch of If 1 = 1 Then GoToFunc() rather than If/ElseIf... Just things I've personally seen and know to be a cause of that issue.

Edit:

It's a Hooked on Ebonics day for me, I can already tell!

Nope no sleep, I just found that the on event was more reliable
