GUICtrlSetPos() CPU time increases

[ankitstr]

Hi all,

I am trying to script a simulator for my final year project in university using Autoitv3. The project involves moving different objects around in the graphics area. I have created the following script to simulate the problem I am having. It appears that the GUICtrlSetPos() function that I am using to reposition the graphics is taking more and more time after each execution. Is it a bug in Autoit? or Am I doing something wrong?

; Script to simulate a bug in Autoit.
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

AdlibEnable("GUIUpdate",20)

GUICreate("THIS IS A TEST",400,400)
GUICtrlCreateGraphic(10,10,380,380)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xffffff)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0)
Global $box=GUICtrlCreateGraphic(20,20,20,20)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_PENSIZE,2)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($box, $GUI_GR_COLOR,0,0xc0c0ff)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_RECT,1,1,18,18)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Sleep(3000)



While 1
    If GUIGetMsg()=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Func GUIUpdate()
    AdlibDisable()
    GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_PENSIZE,2)
    GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_COLOR,0xff0000,0x00ffff)
    GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_RECT,1,1,18,18)
    Local $time=TimerInit()
    GUICtrlSetPos($box,Random(10,360,1),Random(10,360,1))
    $time=TimerDiff($time)
    ToolTip("TimeTaken: "&$time)
    AdlibEnable("GUIUpdate",10)
EndFunc

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Looks like you are getting an ever increasing amount of GUIUpdate func running due to you are calling up AdlibEnable("GUIUpdate",20) so every 20 secs it runs it gets to the line AdlibEnable("GUIUpdate",10) inside the function and sets up an increasing amount of functions runing every 10 secs.

Thanks for the reply, but that is not the case, since I disable the adlib function at the start of the function call.

If you run the script, and monitor the time in the tooltip, it keeps on increasing.

Ok sorry didnt realise that , i found commenting out the folowing lines in the function

;~ GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_PENSIZE,2)

;~ GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_COLOR,0xff0000,0x00ffff)

;~ GUICtrlSetGraphic($box,$GUI_GR_RECT,1,1,18,18)

makes the timer stay the same, strange but some where to start from maybe ?

Yeah, right, but any idea why it might be doing that? Looks like an internal bug to me.

in the adlib function you aree adding more and more graphics so the redrawing need to do more job >_
