CPU Utilisation

[jk0]

My CPU utilisation shoots to 40-50% when I launch the GUI I created in Autoit. Has anyone seen this, or does anyone have an idea on what could be causing this?

I stripped down the GUI to just the GUICreate funciton and CPU usage still shoots up. If I run one of the examples however, this does not happen! Could anyone have an explanation for this please? What am I missing?

I might not but your gui, it could be a background process. If you could post some code we could look at it to see?

This is all I got in there - it still shoots up:

;Create the main interface for the program

$mainGUI=GUICreate("TestGUi", 400, 500, 750, 0)

GUISetState(@sw_Show)

While 1

WEnd

Exit

try:

CODE

;Create the main interface for the program

$mainGUI=GUICreate("TestGUi", 400, 500, 750, 0)

GUISetState(@sw_Show)

While 1

sleep (100)

WEnd

Exit

Better yet:

CODE

$mainGUI=GUICreate("TestGUi", 400, 500, 750, 0)

GUISetState(@sw_Show)

While 1

select

case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

exit

EndSelect

WEnd

Exit

Yup, that was it! Awesome - thanks for your help!

Thanks - in my main script - I was executing the while only when the start flag was set - and hence the util was shooting up even when I launched the gui, since the flag wasnt set at launch!

Pretty sure you are missing something here in the While-Wend loop...

$msg = GUIGetMsg()
