Multi Threading

[Zephir]

Hello fellows,

right now I came to a point where I really need to have several things done at the same time. Since AutoIt does not offer that function (except AdlibEnable() which i do not like because it stops the main script while executing the AdlibFunction... which means I cannot use complex things). What I do now is creating more than one script and have them run at the same time. Do you guys know of a better method?

So long,

Zephir

Search the forum for multi-processing, it's simply multiple autoit processes communicating with each other through tcp,pipes text files etc.

It's quite ugly but it's the only option in autoit.

The only other alternative is going with another language like C# which offer the multi-threading you need.

Yes this is what i meant by having at least 2 scripts running at the same time. And, just like you said, i find it messy. Since there is no other way I will give up my search muttley

Thanks for your response.

I suppose you could try TCP to the same computer and send commands like that.
