Sleep ( $sleep-time )... Is this possible?

[some1]

Hi

I'm making a Internet connection monitor. On my gui, I need to be able to set the time between connection attemps. I have tried with:

While $Monitoring = 1

;;alot of code

Sleep ( $Interval )

but the interval is not the same value as $Interval... Only when I put in a number (like 5000), there is a delay...

Can it be done this way??? Or if not, would you be so kind to tell me how to do it right

thx

Should work ...what is the problem you are seeing ?

For sleep times

I do something like this to make a random sleep between x1 and x2 numbers.

$sleep = Random(5000,6000)

Sleep($sleep); sleeps between 5 and 6 seconds

hope that helps.

There is no sleep-time... its like i have just entered:

sleep ()

Sleep($sleep); sleeps between 5 and 6 seconds

I am really glad about the help commin' in so fast, but the thing I want to do, is to put in a sleep-time in the gui, not just have a random sleep-time. Edited July 14, 2007 by some1

Show what your are doing and be a bit more clear in the problem description. Sleep($time) will work when $time contains the time to pause in ms.

try this

While $Interval = random(1000,9000) ; sleep between 1-9 secs

;;alot of code

Sleep ( $Interval )

[Jos]

try this

While $Interval = random(1000,9000) ; sleep between 1-9 secs

are you sure ?

ok, here is the code for my function:

            $Interval = GUICtrlRead($Interval)
            $IP = GUICtrlRead($IP)
            $IntervalReal = $Interval * 1000

                    MsgBox (0, $AppName, $Connection)
                    
                    MsgBox ( 0, $AppName, "Your Connection is being checked")
                    [b]sleep ( $IntervalReal )[/b]
                
                WEnd
                
    EndSelect

The $Interval is filled in by the user in the gui... This value is then made to millisecs, and the Value put into $IntervalReal, Which is the sleep-value...

Donøt worry about all the msgBox'es... it was just to see if the program even reacted to pressing buttons, and hotkeys (still learning)

[Jos]

you should not do this :

$Interval = GUICtrlRead($Interval)

I assume that $Interval contains the ControlHandle of the GuiCreateInput() and you overide it with its content .....

Use a different variablename for the read value and try again.

Also for debugging, check the calculated value for $IntervalReal ...
