GUI Events during Do Until

[iNFERiON]

Hey all, I'm having a problem. My script is not responding to GUI Events, during a Do...Until method is doing it's work.

The GUI starts responding again after the Do is finished. Is there any way to have it listen for events while it's in the Do ?

Oh yeah, I'm using GUIOnEventMode, so GuiGetMsg() is not an option and putting an additional GuiSetOnEvent in the Do also does not seem to work.

What is your Do..Until loop doing? And is the Do loop being used as the script's idling (keep alive) loop. Some code perhaps to look at...

My Do..Until loop is updating a counter every second. So it has plenty to do if the counter is set to like an hour or so.

I just found out that the GUI signal is coming through, but it's just being processed if the Do...Until loop is finished, not earlier.

If you have some actual code to post, you could have your answer solved in a matter of minutes more than likely rather than a matter of hours/days/weeks/possibly never.

It's your problem, so don't make those of us that help out regularly go out of our way to assume what your code is doing.

Now for a guess... I bet you are using "Sleep()" in this Do/Until loop? You might want to look up what sleep does to your script if that's the case.

Yes, there is a sleep in the do, it actually starts with it, since it has to execute the Do with a 1 second delay each time, being a timer and all. Here is the code:

$time_hrs = Int(ControlGetText("","",$hrs))
    $time_min = Int(ControlGetText("","",$min))
    $time_sec = Int(ControlGetText("","",$sec))
    Do
        Sleep(1000)
        
        If $time_hrs > 0 And $time_min = 0 And $time_sec = 0 Then
            $time_hrs = $time_hrs-1
            $time_min = 59
            $time_sec = 60
        EndIf
        
        If $time_min > 0 And $time_sec = 0 Then
            $time_min = $time_min-1
            $time_sec = 60
        EndIf
        
        $time_sec = $time_sec-1
        
        ControlSetText("","",$stopwatch,$time_hrs & ":" & $time_min & ":" & $time_sec)
    Until $time_hrs = 0 And $time_min = 0 And $time_sec = 0

Sleep() pauses your script for the period you set... nothing works until it's done with it's timeout... thus the word "sleep".

Create your own timer using... TimerInit()/TimerDiff().

You can keep a sleep in there, but make it a Sleep(10).
