CyberSlug 6 Posted January 20, 2005 (edited) I've run into some potential problems with the way hotkeys preempt GUI code..... Example Psuedo-code which could/would crash on occasion with "Array variable subscript badly formatted." Error HotKeySet("{Delete}", "RemoveSelectedControl") ;... Dim $InfoAboutControls[4096] Global $HandleForCurrentControl ;... While 1 $msg = GuiGetMsg() ;.... ;---Code to process moving a control (drag-n-drop)--- If $HandleForCurrentControl > 0 Then;Make sure we have a valid control handle ; ***** oops user pressed Delete key and we get pre-empted ; ***** user removed the selected control. ; ***** Returning from the RemoveSelectedControl function and resuming here: GuiCtrlSetPos($InfoAboutControls[$HandleForCurrentControl], $newLeftPosition, $newTopPosition) EndIf WEnd Func RemoveSelectedControl() $HandleForCurrentControl = -1 EndFunc EDIT: fixed typos If we had some mechanism of denoting a critical section around the If-statement, the problem should be avoided.

Just a EnterCriticalSection() and LeaveCriticalSection() set of functions that disable adlib/hotkeys/onevents.
