Threading?

[comradeb14ck]

Hey. I am writing a nifty little GUI application which runs on a timer. I want the GUI to be fully responsive all the time, but I need the program to run a certain task which takes a few seconds without the GUI dying on me, is there a way to do this? Usually, in C, I would create a separate thread for that process, but with AutoIt I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Think you'll have to make two scripts of it.

Th.Meger, thanks. That is what I was looking for. But it seems that it will pause the rest of the script while that runs. That isn't good for me I really need for the GUI to remain responsive. But I will try it and post my results to this thread after I figure out whether the GUI remains responsive or not.

Thanks for such quick help at 1:30AM!

I'm not sure if autoit supports threading but you can always go around it, just have your 3 second code called in your main while loop (take out sleep() commands tho)

I've made a server / client control system that I'd like to put to example scripts.. but I cant post there

You can make some kind of "fake" threading by have several exe and call them with run.
