While 1 and Sleep

[JimmyN]

I have a script that works fine, but I'm wondering if I'm not following "best practices" guidelines.  It's a simple script that maps the middle mouse button to a hotkey used by a clipboard manager. Click on the middle button , anywhere, and the clipboard manager pops up.  It loads at start-up and is always running.

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("04", $hDLL) Then Send("^!C")
WEnd

My question is should I have a Sleep(100), or something, in the loop?  It's seems that many examples, that have an infinite loop, do this.  

Thanks...Jimbo

Look at AdLibRegister in the help file for an alternative.

sleep(30) should be e enough.

Adlib example:

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
 
AdlibRegister('Pressed')
 
OnAutoItExitRegister('Quit')

 
While 1
    ; run indefinitely
WEnd
 
Func Pressed()
    If _IsPressed("04", $hDLL) Then Send("^!C")
EndFunc
 
Func Quit()
    DllClose($hDLL)
EndFunc
