Looping while GUI while loop is running

[Dieuz]

I want to call a specific function every 2 minutes. I also have a GUI element running.

These two thing require me to have two "While" loop running at the same time.

I come up with the following solution that is working but I would like to know if it's the optimal one.

$timestamp = TimerInit()  ;start timer
While 1 
    $msg = GuiGetMsg() 
    Select  
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE   
    Exit  
    Case Else 
    EndSelect

 ;Run function every two minutes
If TimerDiff($timestamp) > 120000 Then

  myfunc()

  ;Reset timer  
$timestamp = TimerInit()

 Endif
WEnd

use Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) and AdlibRegister

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

AdlibRegister("myfunc", 120000)

Func myfunc()
    ConsoleWrite("myfunc ist running"&@CR)
EndFunc
Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

The way you are doing it would be the way I'd do it. Just don't use 2 While loops or you might get stuck in one of them with no way out of it if you do it wrong.
