Ascer Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Hello, I would like to ask if there is any way to avoid pause loop when we click on Menu in AutoIt GUI? * without using _Timer_SetTimer. [Edit 2021-02-14 20:45] Solved! Big thanks for @MrCreatoR, below solution: expandcollapse popup#include <GuiMenu.au3> ; Create GUI. $hGUI = GUICreate("Autoit GUI", 200, 100) ; Create menu and item. Local $menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Click here") GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("none", $menu) $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu($hGUI) _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenuStyle($hMenu, $MNS_MODELESS) ; Crate label to control progress. Local $label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Working: ", 60, 30, 160) ; Set start time point script. Local $startPoint = 0 ; Show GUI. GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Loop until the user exits. While 1 ; Set new time to label. GUICtrlSetData($label, "Working: " & $startPoint & "%") ; add point $startPoint += 1 ; When point is above 100 reset If $startPoint >= 100 Then $startPoint = 0 ; Listen signal from GUI. Switch GUIGetMsg() Case -3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited February 14, 2021 by Ascer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argumentum Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 not the answer you're looking for, but maybe think of an IPC "distributed" script ?https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/199177-fork-udf-ish/ Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).

Dan_555 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) If one of my scripts would need a menu, which is not blocking, i would use a ComboBoX with disabled input, then after an item is selected, i would remove the focus from it , to prevent the combo box scrolling with the mouse wheel. The other solution would be to open a custom popup gui, which displays menu options in a listbox or as buttons (with changed borders). The handling of the items would, then, be in the loop, in which the pause should be avoided.

pixelsearch Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi argumentum, Instead of this "looping way" which lauches again the script as soon as an option is checked/unchecked, wasn't it possible to do it with a simple _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenuStyle ?

But you can see in the about and file menu, what _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenuStyle( ,MNS_NOCHECK) did. In any case, the idea is to better the _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu() example showcase. ( well, my idea is to have the "loop" example replace the current one ) In _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenuStyle(), the example uses an external GUI to add the style. For what I come to believe, once a menu got painted, MNS_NOCHECK does not apply reliably back and forth. Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).
