Stuck in while loop/breaks buttons

[JayHawkfl]

I've been working on this project for a while now, I got the buttons working properly with Dany. (who I would like to thank again)

Now how ever the second part of my program will not let me exit the program and also breaks the buttons. I need a way to interupt that loop. I haven't worked with functions and that might be the way to go but I'm stuck at the moment. Even just a point towords working would be great. I made a note "This is where it starts" is the loop that is messing me up

EDIT: if you copy my code into editor the line number the loop starts at is 54

JayHawkfl,

It does not look like you are never getting to your message loop. How do you want to exit the loop controlled by

While $Count > 0

???

[JayHawkfl]

well, when you run the program, it will refresh $TreeView1 but it runs that loop for ever.

I need the program to let me click my buttons, currently I can't even close the program. I have to go through task manager to close it.

Thanks up front for your time kylomas

• Could I use a TimerDiff() so that it only runs every ten seconds instead of running while count > 0
• Count is always > 0 so it will always run but if it only runs once TimerDiff hits 10 seconds
• I had tried to do it this way before but with no positive results I can take another crack at it as long as we think it's possible

The way you have this written, there's no way for it to exit the second while loop, which appears to me to be a duplicate of the first While loop. So, if it can't exit that loop, it will never get to the loop where you're trying to read the buttons. What exactly are you attempting to do with the 2 loops?

[JayHawkfl]

I need to refresh my tree view every ten seconds

[BrewManNH]

You need to make it a function that you call every ten seconds, not a constant loop. Otherwise, you'll never get to the part of the script that checks the buttons. Look at Adlibregister for how to do that.

And a note, don't use Sleep to pause this type of script for more than a second or your script will be unresponsive, because it halts the script for as long as the sleep time is.

[JayHawkfl]

You need to make it a function

I was hoping I wouldn't have to but your right, I'll have to do a little bit of rescripting but I don't think it will be tooooooo bad.

I also want to thank everyone for all there help with this project, I have been all over tis site looking at examples and posted a few times (like this one) getting this moving forward.

I am very grateful
