RegisterWaitForSingleObject for handling events with callback

[GtaSpider]

Hey everyone,

I searched some hours for a way to use the function WaitForSingleObject not as a function the script has to wait for, but a function which calls a callback function when the event is signaled. I found a way with RegisterWaitForSingleObject  but no AutoIt implemention, so I made one on my own, and now I want to share it with you guys!

The only limitation by this implemention is that you are not able to use more than one callback at once. to avoid this, you could write a static array in the function which fills with the selfmade callback structs. If you find another way, let me know!

Example:

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include 'RegisterWaitForSingleObject.au3'

Global $fExit = False


Local $hPid = Run("notepad.exe")
Local $hProcess = _WinAPI_OpenProcess(0x00100000, False, $hPid) ; SYNCHRONIZE (0x00100000)
ControlSetText(WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]"), "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "Close Editor or wait 3 seconds for timeout")


;Registers the _TestFunc with a timeout of 3 secs.
;The _TestFunc shall be like this: _TestFunc($fTimeout)
;where $fTimeout signalise wether timeout reached (True) or event is in signaled state (False)
_WinAPI_RegisterWaitForSingleObject($hProcess, "_TestFunc", 3000)


While Not $fExit
    ConsoleWrite("Do some stuff at " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & "." & @MSEC & @CRLF)
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

ConsoleWrite("Bye" & @CRLF)
_WinAPI_CloseHandle($hProcess)


Func _TestFunc($fTimeout)
    If $fTimeout Then
        ConsoleWrite("Timeout reached" & @CRLF)

    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Object is in signaled state" & @CRLF)
    EndIf
    $fExit = True
EndFunc   ;==>_TestFunc

Hope you like it and find use for it!

Am I missing it, or do you never free the DllCallbackRegister?

Yup, you're rigth. But I initalize it as a static variable; therefore it's only initalized one time, the same Callback for all functions (the Handler function never changes so there is no need to initalize DllCallbackRegister every time)
