Creating a Start and Stop Button.

[dryper]

Hello everyone! i have started wiTh some autoit again and trying to se if i can manage to make somthing useful but i Cant seem to get my Stop start button to work

I found a example script in the Manual and added a While in it .. but when i click on the "stop " button it doesnt respond .. i think this is because its still in the while thingy and doesnt read rest of the code.. but how can i make it check if i pressed it or not?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $Button_1, $Button_2, $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI Button"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
    $Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Notepad", 10, 30, 100)
    $Button_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test", 0, -1)

    GUISetState()    ; will display an  dialog box with 2 button

   ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $Button_1
                While ($msg = $button_1)
                ;// MY FUNCTION GOES HERE
                    Wend
            Case $msg = $Button_2
                MsgBox(0, 'Testing', 'Button 2 was pressed')   ; Will demonstrate Button 2 being pressed
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc  ;==>Example

If something is confusing just say so

Thanks Dryper

$msg never changes because you don't execute GuiGetMsg() again while the loop is running. So $msg = $button_1 is always true once it goes there. This is just bad logic.

You should consider GuiOnEventMode instead of a message loop if you want to interrupt other work with the GUI events.

could you try set somthing easy up for me? i cant get this GuiOnEventMode to work

Thanks Dryper

The reason i used While is because its a Line that is gonna send a character to a game every 5 seconds .. though i know its bad logic because $msg will always be $bUtton_1

but i cant find anything in the help file in AUTOIT
