#3928 closed Bug (Works For Me)

WinWaitActive() prevents Raw Input's WM_INPUT messages from queueing up (drops messages?), resulting in poor responsiveness

Description

Calling into WinWaitActive() somehow results in 1) fewer WM_INPUT messages being delivered and 2) in WM_INPUT messages not queueing up at all.

To illustrate this problem, here is a minimal reproducible example I came up with. I will further explain what it does and how to use it.

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

What the example above does

The example above expects a Notepad to be running and you focus SciTE window before scrolling the mouse wheel. Whenever you scroll the mouse wheel, OnMouseWheel() gets called, recording how many scrolls you have done during the current second, printing that out to the console on the next second. OnMouseWheel() also calls into LessResponsive() or MoreResponsive(), if one of them is uncommented. They both activate the Notepad window, send some text to it and activate the SciTE window back. The difference is that LessResponsive() uses WinWaitActive(), while MoreResponsive() uses my own imitation version of WinWaitActive() called _WinWaitActive().

---

How to use the example

Firstly, just run it as it is.

Open Notepad, run the script and click on SciTE to make the SciTE window active
Start scrolling the mouse wheel in a consistent manner that is comfortable to you, such that you could reproduce it later
You should see the script activating Notepad back, writing current @MSEC into it, and activating the SciTE window back over and over again
Take a note of how many scrolls per second you do on average by reading out the console output
Terminate the script

(I typically get around 10 scrolls per second)

Now uncomment the LessResponsive() call and redo the same 1-5 steps. Notice how the number of scrolls per second has reduced. For me it went from 10 when LessResponsive() was commented out, to 4 with LessResponsive() uncommented. Take note of the window wait time being printed to the console. (I get around 19ms window wait time).

Now comment out LessResponsive() and uncomment MoreResponsive(). Set $iDelay to the window wait time you got when running LessResponsive(), e.g. I have set mine to 19. Redo steps 1-5 and notice how you get a lot more scrolls per second now. I went from 4 back to 10 as it was before LessResponsive() and MoreResponsive() were uncommented. That's a huge increase in responsiveness! What is more, if you scroll too fast, it will start queueing the unprocessed WM_INPUT messages, i.e. you can stop scrolling and the OnMouseWheel() will continue to get called until all the queued up messages are processed! This didn't happen with LessResponsive(), somehow WinWaitActive() prevented the messages from queueing up.

---

You could say "Why don't you just use your _WinWaitActive() then?". Well, the issue is that while my _WinWaitActive() is a lot more responsive than AutoIt's WinWaitActive(), it's not really comparable in functionality to WinWaitActive(), it's pretty much just a custom Sleep() function that happened to check if a window is in the active state. It doesn't know when a window becomes active the same way WinWaitActive() does. Window's state is always set to active, visible and enabled right after calling WinActivate() on it, so if not for the custom sleep, _WinWaitActive() would have returned right away (under 0.1ms), while WinWaitActive() is somehow able to wait just the right amount of time for the window to get activates, drawn and be ready to receive keyboard input (around 19ms on my computer). As such, _WinWaitActive() is not very usable to me because it doesn't know how long to wait for, and while WinWaitActive() knows for how long to wait for, it's also not very unusable to me but due to it resulting in sluggish message processing and no message queueing. (I assume that WinWaitActivate() knows how long to wait for, it would be funny if it's too just a glorified wrapper for a Sleep() call with an arbitrarily chosen sleep time).

Could you fix WinWaitActive() so that 1) the message processing doesn't become as sluggish and 2) the messages queue properly?

Hi,
Thanks for this long ticket with precise information to reproduce.
In fact I don't understand the ...Responsive() function as without them I get best results
In fact some time more than for MoreResponsive()
Cheers

While making a reply to you I have noticed a small copy-paste mistake I have made in the How to use the example section, specifically that the step (3) shouldn't be there, as the step (3) only happens when the *Responsive() calls are uncommented.

I ended up improving the reproducible example -- it now does the mouse wheel scrolling for you, making the mouse scrolling more consistent as it no longer depends on a human, no longer mice-specific, etc. The improved example also needs an updated explanation.

Here is the new reproducible example:

How to use the example

LessResponsive()

Open Notepad, run the script and click on SciTE to make the SciTE window active
The script will do 5 mouse wheel scrolls per second for you, for the duration of 5 seconds
You should see the script activating Notepad window, writing current @MSEC into it, and activating the SciTE window back over and over again
After 5 seconds, the script should terminate on its own
Check the console output to see how many scrolls per second the script's message handler received. (In my case it's just 1!)
Take note of the window wait time printed to the console, we will need that for MoreResponsive() later on. (19ms for me, but it's fine if your is different)

Here is what my output for the comparison:

! [14:18:35] Scrolling 5 times
LessResponsive: Waited on a window for an average of 19.3935ms
OnMouseWheel took 79.579ms
+ [14:18:36] Received 1 mouse wheel scroll messages in the past second. Total received/sent: 1/5
! [14:18:36] Scrolling 5 times
LessResponsive: Waited on a window for an average of 19.2935ms
OnMouseWheel took 79.4179ms
+ [14:18:37] Received 1 mouse wheel scroll messages in the past second. Total received/sent: 2/10
! [14:18:37] Scrolling 5 times
LessResponsive: Waited on a window for an average of 18.51545ms
OnMouseWheel took 77.9211ms
+ [14:18:38] Received 1 mouse wheel scroll messages in the past second. Total received/sent: 3/15
! [14:18:38] Scrolling 5 times
LessResponsive: Waited on a window for an average of 18.7937ms
OnMouseWheel took 78.5755ms
+ [14:18:39] Received 1 mouse wheel scroll messages in the past second. Total received/sent: 4/20
! [14:18:39] Scrolling 5 times
! [14:18:39] Stopped scrolling!
LessResponsive: Waited on a window for an average of 18.1046ms
OnMouseWheel took 77.5149ms
+ [14:18:40] Received 1 mouse wheel scroll messages in the past second. Total received/sent: 5/25
+ [14:18:41] Not receiving any more mouse wheel scrolls, so exiting!

Notice that while the scripts sends 5 mouse wheel scroll messages via MouseWheel(), it receives a lot fewer of them per second. On my PC I receive just 1 mouse wheel scroll message per second, i.e. the other 4 of WM_INPUT mouse wheel messages are not being delivered, they are being discarded by AutoIt. The final number I get is 5 messages received when 25 were sent, so 20 messages got discarded in those 5 seconds.

MoreResponsive()

Comment out LessResponsive()
Uncomment MoreResponsive()
Pass into MoreResponsive() the window wait time from the console output you got when running LessResponsive() (e.g. I got 19ms, so I pass 19)
Open Notepad, run the script and click on SciTE to make the SciTE window active
You should see the script activating Notepad window, writing current @MSEC into it, and activating the SciTE window back over and over again
After 5 seconds, the script should terminate on its own
Check the console output to see how many scrolls per second the script's message handler received. (In my case it's 5)

Now the script receives a lot more scrolls per second. On my PC I'm getting all 5 of them. That's a huge increase in responsiveness! Also note how by the end of it, all 25 out of 25 mouse scroll messages are received.

Message queueing

What is more, when using MoreResponsive() (or even having all of *Responsive() commented out), if you scroll faster than OnMouseWheel() can keep up with, Autoit will start queueing the unprocessed WM_INPUT messages. You can simulate this by setting $SCROLLS_PER_SECOND to, for example, 50. Because onMouseWheel() takes 79ms to run, the script can process at most 1000/79 = 12.66 mouse wheel scrolls per second, so 50 is definitely faster than OnMouseWheel() can keep up with. You can see that in the case of MoreResponsive(), once the script stops scrolling as indicated by "Stopped scrolling!" in the output, OnMouseWheel() continues to get called until all of the queued up messages are processed, running way beyond the 5 seconds. This doesn't happen with LessResponsive(), somehow WinWaitActive() prevented the messages from queueing up.

+ [14:44:14] Not receiving any more mouse wheel scrolls, so exiting!

You can see that the script kept receiving mouse scroll messages way after it stopped sending them, it stopped scrolling at 14:43:57 but was still catching up with receding the scroll messages up to 14:44:13, and it only stopped receiving them because all 250 of them were received. The script also took 20 seconds to run, not 5.

So clearly AutoIt is queueing the messages in the case of MoreResponsive(). In fact, AutoIt queues them by default, which you can verify by having both *Reponsive() commented out. But in the case of LessResponsive(), WinWaitActive() somehow breaks the queueing, it breaks the expected default behavior.

---

With all that said, I ask that you look into why WinWaitActive() makes the application less responsive, specifically, why when using it I get 1) fewer WM_INPUT messages being delivered and 2) WM_INPUT messages not queueing up at all, and I hope that this issue gets resolved in some future AutoIt version, if possible.

Sorry for so much text!

Windows automatically assign message queues for each process/thread. The message stays in the queue/inbox until the program gets around to processing them. Autoit is singlethreaded, it stands to reason that it has to switch between message handling and executing the script, internally we don't know how it splits the processing time other than that the program needs to respond to the window messages in their inbox every so often otherwise the OS will think that it has frozen.

Incidentally, the documentation for GUIRegisterMsg states:

Warning: blocking of running user functions which executes window messages with commands such as "MsgBox()" can lead to unexpected behavior, the return to the system should be as fast as possible !!!

comment:5 Changed 18 months ago by nurupo

I guess you are right, I shouldn't be blocking the message handler for so long. I just moved the *Responsive() calls out of the message handler and into the main While 1 loop: made OnMouseWheel() increment a new counter for each event received and the main While 1 loop decrement it, calling LessResponsive() in the While loop instead of the message handler. LessResponsive() no longer causes messages to be dropped and and the messages are now being queued by AutoIt, i.e. the script now behaves similar to how it behaved with MoreResponsive being called inside the message handler.

So, if I understand nothing to change, in a simple manner, inside AutoIt code
