GUI Event from function

[climberman]

Can you access the gui events from a function?

GUICreate ( "TradeBotOpto", 200, 300, @DesktopWidth-200, @DesktopHeight-300)
$run = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Run Bot", 10, 30)
$stop = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Stop Bot", 10, 70)
$update = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Update Prices", 10, 110)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $guimsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $guimsg = $run
        RunBot()
    Case $guimsg = $stop
        StopBot()
    Case $guimsg = $update
        Update()
    Case $guimsg = -3
        StopBot()
              ExitLoop
  EndSelect
  Sleep(100) ; Idle around
  WEnd

This is what I start with and I can use the stop button of the GUI but only before it goes into a function.

The GUIGetMsg() in the function doesn't do anything I guess because the sepcific GUI wasn't created in that function so how do I check to see whether the GUI controls were pressed while inside the function?

All you need to do is pass the value of $guimsg to the function

Case $guimsg = $run
        RunBot($guimsg)

Example:

GUICreate ( "TradeBotOpto", 200, 300, @DesktopWidth-200, @DesktopHeight-300)
$run = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Run Bot", 10, 30)
$stop = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Stop Bot", 10, 70)
$update = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Update Prices", 10, 110)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $guimsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $guimsg = $run
            RunBot()
        Case $guimsg = $stop
            StopBot()
        Case $guimsg = $update
            Update()
        Case $guimsg = -3
            StopBot()
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func RunBot()
    While 1 ;Simple loop for example
        If $guimsg = $stop Then
            StopBot()
            Return
        EndIf
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Also you may use GUIOnEvent mode

Thanks for the help guys, so far no luck exactly but i figured i'd throw ina check for the esc key so at least when things go wrong i have that fail safe. Otherwise i get locked in a loop where the mouse is clicking on a certain point and have to shut down manually. I'm gonna give the onevent mode a try and see what happens.........

Ok the oneventmode works great and is extremely fast compared to the other method. Thanks
