Run a Function in the Background

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

HI All,

This is my first post on this forum so please be gentle

I'm also new to AutoIT/Programming and i've got a little problem

I'm call a Func which Loops... to check if a connection is persistent..

But this will disable the other functions in the GUI so i'm not able to disconnect

Is there a way to call a function in the background ?

TIA

You've already got a loop going for the GUI, presumably. Check the state just once in the function, and call the function in the GUI loop.

@lod3n

Thnx for the reply .. i get your point .. and i had a look at the code .. but the only loop is the one which checks the tray

GUIGetMsg()?

@AzKay

Do you mean i can resolve it by using GuiGetMessage just like the tray menu ?

Thnx

The proper way to do this is called "GUIOnEventMode" the functions that are used with this special mode are called "GUICtrlSetOnEvent" and "GUISetOnEvent".

Edit: I should also say, that you don't run the function in the background, but you run the GUI in the background and should put your function in the main loop. :]

@All

Sorry but all you GURU's were wrong

Because i couldn't get it working i thought lets spend a lot of time by reading every item in the Help File

I was lucky

The function for running a function in the background exists

Start a Background Function => AdlibEnable ( "function" [, time] )

End a Background Function => AdlibDisable ( )

Thanks for your time
