GUI does not run synchronously - (Moved)

Buttons on GUI to perform different tasks. SETUP is a task that involves displaying another GUI, doing calculations, writing lines to 2 external files, displaying information on GUI labels.  The info from the displayed GUI (quantity made and job completed YES or NO) must be included on the written lines. I cannot get the script to run synchronously (waterfall execution 1st one ends before 2nd one starts.) That means lines written to the files do not contain the required data.  I have read through FORUM and thought by inserting a boolean value and changing TRUE FALSE that I could solve this issue. I would have to set/reset the boolean before every function call to make it work. I've tried using Sleep but that just slows everything down and makes main GUI look unresponsive

Is there a trick or tip someone can provide that forces synchronous execution?

I am using OPT GUIOnEventMode

Thank you for any insight into this issue.

Post your script.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

I figured out how to use GUISwitch to pass control among the GUI forms I am using in the script. Variables are global.  Thank you for making the forum possible as a learning resource.  Seeing so many replies about using the on-line help forced me to keep looking through GUI commands. That's how I stumbled on GUISwitch.  I am using ONEVENT and most examples in HELP use GETMSG but the information was available. I just had to dig deeper and learn lots more! My script is running as I need it to now.

Topic can be "closed".
