Gui And Loop Problem

[sheck]

I noticed that when I create GUI window with a While.....Wend loop the script is being paused if I click and hold my mouse down on GUI window. If you performe timed commands such as Adlibenable, this is really annoying.

Is there a way to go around that ?

Can you post an example script?

In the example below we have While....Wend loop and AdlibEnable function. If I click and hold my left mouse button down on GUI window, script is paused for as long as I hold the left mouse button.

#include<GUIConstants.au3>
  
  AdlibEnable("message", 4000)
  
  GUICreate("Test GUI", 200, 200, -1 , -1)
  GUISetState()
  
  While 1
      $msg = GUIGetMsg()
      Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
          Exit
      EndSelect
      Sleep(2000)
      MsgBox(64, "Test", "This box is in While 1 loop", 3)
  WEnd
  
  Func message()
  MsgBox(64, "Test2", "This box is in message() function", 3)
  EndFunc

Doesnt hang on my laptop or my other 2 computers here. Not sure why yours would pause like that.

I guest since no one noticed it before, it's not such a big deal.

But I would still like to know if there is a way around that.

Have you thought of making your own title bar?

I have, but it happens with any control in GUI window, such as scroll bar or a label.
