Timed events?

[pippi]

Hello,

i am sort of new to AutoIT and programming, so bear with me if i use the wrong words:)

I want to call a function every say 500ms. Is there a way to do it?

Here is an example au3 of what i mean:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("SampleGUI", 240,200,-1,-1,-1,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
        _samplefunc()   ; i want this to happen every 500ms
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func _samplefunc()
    $a = 5
EndFunc

If i use sleep() like in the above example, it lags my whole gui, and other stuff i want to do. How can i make it work?

Regards,

Pippi

You could also do...

$start = TimerInit()
While 1
    If TimerDiff($start) > 500 Then
        _samplefunc ()
        $start = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd
