getting out of a loop

eyegeegeewhy · October 15, 2007

I have made a small application that check for the existance of some files(pdfs and Xml). One of the buttons just does a one time check and this works fine. I want the other button however to keep doing the same check every say 30 seconds. The problem is once this loop starts I cant get out out as none of the other buttons are responsive. Below is just the while loop for the GUI. This is the one without my attempts at escaping it i just want it to sleep for 30 seconds or until someone hits exit.

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() 
    Select
        Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
        ;Exit the script
            Exit
        Case $nMsg = $Button1
            If GUICtrlRead($Combo1)="" then
                MsgBox(0,0,"You must enter a Book from the drop down list")
            Else
            $BOOK=GUICtrlRead($Combo1)
            $START_PAGE=GUICtrlRead($Input1)
            $END_PAGE=GUICtrlRead($Input2)
            $TOTAL_FILES_REQUIRED=$END_PAGE - $START_PAGE
            Call("FOUND_LIST_XML")
            Call("FOUND_LIST_PDF")
            Call("NUMBER_MISSING_FILES")
            Call("LIST_MISSING_FILES_PDF")
            Call("LIST_MISSING_FILES_XML")
            EndIf
        Case $nMsg = $Button2
            If GUICtrlRead($Combo1)="" then
            MsgBox(0,0,"You must enter a Book from the drop down list")
            Else
            $BOOK=GUICtrlRead($Combo1)
            $START_PAGE=GUICtrlRead($Input1)
            $END_PAGE=GUICtrlRead($Input2)
            $TOTAL_FILES_REQUIRED=$END_PAGE - $START_PAGE
            Call("FOUND_LIST_XML")
            Call("FOUND_LIST_PDF")
            Call("NUMBER_MISSING_FILES")
            Call("LIST_MISSING_FILES_PDF")
            Call("LIST_MISSING_FILES_XML")
            EndIf
            EndSelect

WEnd

Ill try that, Why do you need to turn adlib on and off. Excuse me if thats a stupid question ive never seen this adlib stuff before

Also I want it to keep doing it again and again every 30 seconds until the user kills it. Is that what this will do?

Post the "complete" code for us to test

Im know that this code will not be the best way of doing things but it is just a first draft (well thats my excuse anyways)

You will need to drop two files into the test folder one called C:\temp\sample_data\224Y07P_classified_0032.pdf

and another called C:\temp\sample_data\224Y07P_classified_0032.xml That sould allow the gui to run

This is the code after I cahnged it back to get it to work

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Script Function:
    Monitor folder for files.

; Script Start - Add your code below here
