how can affront this problem ?

Dear friends, I need to create an application with a ListView where data will be loaded and updated every x seconds. I wanted to understand if AutoIt can achieve this because I also need to process the data inside the ListView simultaneously with the data updates. I thought that perhaps a multithreaded language might be required, or if AutoIt can handle it in some way. Could you please advise me on the best way to proceed? Thanks you.

Your description it's not very detailed and it really depends on how data is updated and processed. But generally if you have large sets of data to update and also to process data simultaneously a multithreaded language might be more appropriate.

Thank you, I suspected that it couldn't be done in AutoIt and that a programming language with stronger multithreading capabilities was needed.

My guess is that for refreshing moderate volume data "every x seconds" AutoIt is more than sufficient, unless x < 0.1 but then what the heck a ListView?

I didn't said that it cannot be done in AutoIt. Give us more details so we can give you a more precise answer.

I have noticed that AutoIt is not multithreaded, even though I have seen some attempts to make it so. In practice, I need to manage a data stream in blocks of 13 data points. There can be anywhere from 1 block of 13 to 100 blocks of 13. Within these blocks, the data points vary randomly over time. I need to be able to populate them into a ListView based on a logic provided in a comment within the blocks. While one thread updates the ListView data, I also need to perform operations on the ListView and the received data. However, I don't think this can be achieved with AutoIt. I believe it would be easier to use a more structured programming language.

Your choice, but nothing seems to preclude using AutoIt.

What is the expected refresh rate of the input data stream/listview?

How much times does it take for a human user of the listview to view/select/pick item(s) within anything between 13 and 1300 lines?

Anyway, multithreading is evil.

o thanks  i know  is  fu... evil  a multi.  but  is necessary  because  i have  in some time high frequently refresh rate and i must  use in simultaneous with the  guy

And the user will be able to monitor and act upon a largish listview at high frequently refresh rate ?

Rain man to the rescue!

[armando7712]

yes  because not  all  part of stream data change  you  can  see  increase   something  and  when you want you will apply mod at line , but  dont  worry i try in python  also i dont like ufff but  thanks so much for suggest

Wish you best of luck with your project.
