[mLipok]

Try this general princip:

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btn_start_id
            While 1
                ; some repeating long lasting code here ...
                $msg = GuiGetMsg()
                If $msg = $btn_stop_id Then
                    ; some finalization of repeating code (enable/disable buttons and so on) ...
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            WEnd
    EndSwitch
WEnd

this is my function to download file

 

; Download the file in the background with the selected option of 'force a reload from the remote site.'
    Local $hDownload = InetGet($downloadPath, $sFilePath, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADBACKGROUND)
    $totalFileSize = InetGetSize($downloadPath)
    ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Download : " & $sFilePath,250 )
    ; Wait for the download to complete by monitoring when the 2nd index value of InetGetInfo returns True.
   Local $a
   Local $iMsg
   local $alreadyDownloded =0
    Do
        ;Sleep(20)
         $alreadyDownloded =  InetGetInfo($hDownload,  $INET_DOWNLOADREAD)
         if $alreadyDownloded >0 then
        ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", " Already Download size: " & $alreadyDownloded )
            local $successPercentage = ($alreadyDownloded/$totalFileSize) * 100
        ;GUICtrlSetData($lbl_Message," Downloading " & Round($successPercentage) & "%" )
          UpdateText(GetKeyValueFromINI("DOWNLOADING") & " " & Round($successPercentage) & "%",Round($successPercentage))
         endif
         $a = GUIGetCursorInfo()
         $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        if $iMsg = $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN Then
            If $a[0] >= 914 And $a[0] <= 924 And $a[1] >= 17 And $a[1] <=28  Then
               ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Clicked "  )
             _Minimize()
             EndIf
          EndIf

   

_SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0)
    Until InetGetInfo($hDownload, $INET_DOWNLOADCOMPLETE)

 

currently iam try to run this function in thread and see that it make any difference
