two while statement running at the same time?

[mianz]

hi guys. i have this problem. i know it's a very common problem but i don't know how to search for it.

global $startstop

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

startbutton on click

-> call function

-> if $startstop = start then $startop = stop else $starstop = start

Wend

function abc()

while $startstop = "start"

blah blah

endfunc

ok, i know the computer is looping around function abc(), it is not detecting if startbutton is being click or not anymore. any tricks?

You need to change place between "abc()" and "if $startstop etc" and use OnEventMode. If you don't get it to work then make a small runnable reproducer and post that so we can help you.

Edit: or do what bluelamp did

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUICreate("t",400,400)
GUISetOnEvent(-3,"_EXIT")
GUIctrlSetOnEvent(GUICtrlCreateButton("Click",200,200,100),"_POLLING")

global $startstop = 0
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Sleep(1000)
    abc()
Wend

Func _EXIT()
    Exit
EndFunc
    
Func _POLLING()
    if $startstop == 1 Then
        $startstop = 0 
    else 
        $startstop = 1
    EndIf
EndFunc

func abc()
    $i=0
    while $startstop == 1
        ConsoleWrite($i&@CRLF)
        $i+=1
    WEnd
endfunc

This is an example how you could do it

yeah. oneventmode works like a charm, still buggy. will update it's status
