Buttons Not Working while script is running...

[jfcby]

Hi,

While the following script is running none of my button work. How can I get the script to pause, stop, and close using the "For next" statement in the script below?

expandcollapse popup

#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_EX");Exit Script
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "_PUhks");Pause Script

Global $Paused, $ci, $i
Local $a1[100]
Local $a2[100]

$a1[1] = "1";Begin
$a1[2] = "20"
$a1[3] = "40"

$a2[1] = "15";End
$a2[2] = "35"
$a2[3] = "55"

Local $msg

    GUICreate("Array Test", 300, 300);Create a centered dialog box 
    
    GUICtrlCreateLabel('Keboard Keys: "Esc" = Exit Script' & @LF & @LF & ' and "Pause/Break" = Pause Script', 30, 5, 175, 50, $SS_CENTER)
    $LBC = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 75, 25, 25);Label Display Count
    $SR = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 40, 75, 50, 20);Start Button
    $PU = GUICtrlCreateButton("Pause", 95, 75, 50, 20);Pause Button
    $SP = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 150, 75, 50, 20);Stop Button
    $Ex = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 205, 75, 50, 20);Exit Button
    
    GUISetState();Displays an empty dialog box

;Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $Ex
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $SR;Start Counter
                _SR()
            Case $msg = $PU;Pause Counter
                _PU()
            Case $msg = $SP;Stop Counter
                _SP()
        EndSelect       
    WEnd

Func _Count_ci($ci) 
    For $ci = 1 to 4
        _Count_i($i, $ci)
    Next
    GUICtrlSetData($LBC, "")
EndFunc;==> Main Counter for First "For Next" Statement

Func _Count_i($i, $ci)  
    For $i = $a1[$ci] to $a2[$ci]                       
        Sleep(200)
    ;MsgBox(0,"", $a1[$ci] & " - " & $a2[$ci])
        GUICtrlSetData($LBC, $i)            
    Next
EndFunc;==> Main Counter for Second "For Next" Statement 

Func _SR()
    _Count_ci($ci)
EndFunc;==> Start Counter

Func _SP()
    MsgBox(0,"", "Clicked Stop")
EndFunc;==> Stop Counter

Func _PU()
;Contimue count at same location that $a1[$ci] was  paused.
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc;==> Pause Counter With Button

Func _PUhks()
;Continue count from the $ci value
    
EndFunc;==> Pause Counter With HotKeySet

Func _EX()
    Exit 0
EndFunc;==> Exit Counter

Thank you for your help,

That´s normal.

If you use a loop in a function the GUI can´t do it´s work.

You could use GUIOnEventMode instead of the MessageMode
