how to have msg on screen even after script ends


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I want to have a message shown at the screen all the time, while the script continue to execute the rest of the codes, and so I decided to use SplashTextOn.

I can see the text splashed on the screen but it goes off after a while. So what must I do to make it stay even though the script have ended its routine.

I also dont understand the additional purpose of SplashOff since it seems to me that by default the messages are already off by default such as this :-

SplashTextOn("Example", "Splash Screen")

Sleep(5000)

SplashOff()

Thanks

What I would do is:

Main Script:

FileInstall("Your Splash exe",@ScriptDir)
Run("Splash.exe")
While 1

This is all assumptions, as you haven't provided a full script, or told us enough information.

So I take it you've got something like this in your script:

SplashTextOn("Example", "Splash Screen")
;Script
SplashOff()
oÝ÷ Ù8b±Ê.ÖÞ­ë(÷Â+ajëh×6
SplashTextOn("Example", "Splash Screen")
;Script
Func OnAutoItExit ( )
    SplashOff()
EndFunc

His idea is better so use his.

.......

This could be resolved with:

SplashTextOn("Example", "Splash Screen")
;Script
Func OnAutoItExit ( )
    SplashOff()
EndFunc
Thanks Bert and Generator.

I activate your script and I see that the message appear and goes off almost instantaneously. What I want is to have the message appear permanently on the screen even though autoIt have finished executing all the codes in that script. And it will remain there until I click something for it to go off.

How do you suppose you can have part of the script running after the script has finished?

Can you still run notepad after windows has shut down?

It sounds to me like you need a separate script to do the splashtext with a method to close that script, this splash script does not execute any thing else other than a splash message.

You then need a second script to firstly run the splashtext.exe that you first made then run the rest of the code when it exits the first script with the splash is still running.

Once you perform whatever action it is you have decided on to tell the fist script splash to exit the splash window closes.

I suggest you look at hotkeyset() and splashtexton() splashtextoff() and while wend loops for the first splash script.

and its up to you to sort out the second.

So Have 2 files, splash.au3, and maincode.au3

Splash.au3 contains.

SplashTextOn("Example", "Splash Screen")
ShellExecute ("maincode.au3", "", "" "run")
While 1
IF TrayGetMsg () = $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE Then Exit ;DBLL Click on the tray to close....
Wend
Func OnAutoItExit ( )
    SplashOff()
EndFunc

Maincode.au3 Contains your script. Just run splash.au3 to run the script.

See how that works??

So you mean, you run your script, splash is shown, script runs, finishes you script exits, you click exit on splash, splash closes?

Yes, you hit bulls eyes. Thats what I meant. It is not necessary to be splash, the permanent message shown can be other messages such as gui, msgbox etc....

The message shown on the screen is a counter and I want it to be shown on the screen all the time just like a counter in the web pages and each time when a script is invoke, the message will show an increment of 1.

I have done something very simple. I use 2 scripts. Script 1 is a msgbox. script 2 activates script 1. I am sure there is a better way to do.

Thanks

----------script 1 ------------

ShellExecute("counter.au3","","","Run")

ControlClick ("Counter","Motion detector detected",2)

---------- script 2 ----------------------

$counter = FileReadLine ("test.txt")

if @error then

$counter = $counter +1

$file2 = FileOpen("test.txt", 2); 2 = Write mode (erase previous contents)

FileWriteLine($file2, $counter)

FileClose($file2)

MsgBox (48,"test read","file test.txt not found but will be created and counting "& $counter )

Else

$counter += 1

$file2 = FileOpen("test.txt", 2); 2 = Write mode (erase previous contents)

FileWriteLine($file2, $counter)

FileClose($file2)

MsgBox(0, "Counter", "Motion detector detected " & $counter &" times")

EndIf
