How much stressing is ControlGetText?

Zomp · August 28, 2008

I need to build two Autoit "processes" which exchange data between them.

So I have to use ControlGetText inside a while/wend loop.

How many times can I call such instruction without stressing the cpu?

From the documentation, I read about GUIGetMsg:

This function automatically idles the CPU when required so that it can be safely used in tight loops without hogging all the CPU.

Is the same for ControlGetText or not?

Many thanks for your clarifications.

@Zomp

there are better methods for interscript communication.

search for:

"RegisterWindowMessage"

and

"WM_COPYDATA"

here's some links to get you started

WM_COPYDATA

CoProc

Another Inter Script communication
