Continue Function

[403forbidden]

Is there any way to have the script continue after a function is executed that pauses the script, such as the MsgBox function? I want to have a MsgBox notification but have the script start doing the next thing while the MsgBox is still up. Any ideas?

You can use a timer (_Timer_SetTimer), or more simply just use your own gui instead of a MsgBox.

I have made my own GUI. What I want to do is when the user clicks a button, say, one that extracts a file from the executable, have a msgbox come up and say "Ok, extracting file", but have it start extracting the file even before the user hits the ok button on the msgbox.

This maybe close...

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("")
Sleep(3000)

ProcessApproval("notepad.exe")


Func ProcessApproval($Process)
    $Script = ""
    $Script &= '$ret = MsgBox(262193,"Process Approval Needed","The new Process ""' & $Process & '"" needs approval. " & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Press  OK  to allow this Process to continue." & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Press Cancel to close this process." & @CRLF)' & @CRLF
    $Script &= 'If $ret = 1 Then' & @CRLF

    $Script &= '    ControlSend("Untitled","", "Edit1", "' & $Process & '")' & @CRLF
    $Script &= 'Else' & @CRLF
    $Script &= '    ProcessClose("' & $Process & '")' & @CRLF
    $Script &= 'EndIf' & @CRLF

    Local $file_loc = @ScriptDir & "\Killer.au3"
    FileDelete($file_loc)
    FileWrite($file_loc, $Script)
    If @Compiled = 1 Then
        $file_exe = FileGetShortName(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file_loc & '"')
        Run($file_exe)
    Else
        $file_au3 = FileGetShortName($file_loc)
        Run(@AutoItExe & " " & $file_au3, "", @SW_HIDE)
    EndIf
