Quick thing about using GUISetOnEvent mode

[Rad]

If im using GUISetOnEventMode, how do I detect when someone pressed the mouse down? and releases it? prefferably without using ispressed method because usually that gets unstable with my mouse (hard to explain lol)

And, how can i detect when you click on the background on the window? This is so that i can move it around as I disable its normal border

For question one pressed the mouse down. You can use:

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "_DoFunction", $wMain)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP, "_DoFunction", $wMain)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYDOWN, "_DoFunction", $wMain)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_SECONDARYUP, "_DoFunction", $wMain)

and for the second question how can i detect when you click on the background I will need to see some of the script to be able to help you.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "test")

While1
Wend

Func Test()
    msgbox(0,"","test")
EndFunc

This doesnt work... not sure why

[smashly]

it's a GUI event .. theres no GUI ..

While1 should be While 1

There's no sleep(10) in between While 1 and Wend

and so on..

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUICreate('')
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "test")
GUISetState()

While 1
Sleep(10)
Wend

Func Test()
    msgbox(0,"","test")
    Exit
EndFunc

I learn something new every moment , I didn't realise a function name wasn't case sensitive.

"test"

Test()

lol

i dont think anything in autoit is case sensitive... up to handling strings and probrably some more advanced stuff I havent messed with

And AFAIK you dont need the sleep(10), none of my scripts ever had it.. it just makes things buggier for me

I got it to work though, turns out I had a function in my infinite loop that was running, that didnt do anything... somehow that caused it to not fire the function every time (it worked if u double clicked for some reason)

I already had the window to btw, my script was just long so i didnt include it all

When you have a loop then AutoIt will try to go thru the loop as fast as possible. This puts

the CPU-usage to over 90% on my computer, but by adding a tiny Sleep() it's lowered to 0%.

It's rare that I have the need to dedicate almost the entire CPU to a script, so therefor I use

Sleep()'s in loops all the time.

[Rad]

It does that for me to... but it doesnt effect the performance of anything. The CPU usage isnt very reliable except when your finding a virus or a program that froze etc

But I guess i will put it in there so people wont freak out
