Script goes crazy!

[dantay9]

The script works as it is supposed to when it is running. But when I decide to close the script my computer goes crazy. Explorer.exe takes up most of the RAM and CPU usage (around 96%). It always happens when I exit the script. I got the callback and hook from a script on the forum. I think that is the problem, but I don't know how to use them so I can't fix them. Make sure you take a look at the script before you run it. Task Manager can take a few minutes to come up when the CPU is overloaded. Please help me.

I am glad you warned us!

I managed to make it run without the problem and I think the main change which did it was removing the style $WS_EX_LAYERED from the child window $GUI1. (Not allowed for a child.)

If that doesn't fix it then I'll look at what other changes I made.

You could also change this

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($Style, Hex($SS_ICON)))

to

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_STYLE, BitOR($Style, $SS_ICON))

though only because I don't think the Hex conversion is useful.

Thanks martin. The $WS_EX_LAYERED attribute was the problem. Thanks for the hex tip too.
