1862	GUISetOnEvent should behave more like HotKeySet()	anonymous		"What I mean is this little snippet from the help file for HotKeySet: 

{{{
A hotkey-press *typically* interrupts the active AutoIt function/statement and runs its user function until it completes or is interrupted. Exceptions are as follows:
1) If the current function is a ""blocking"" function, then the key-presses are buffered and execute as soon as the blocking function completes. MsgBox and FileSelectFolder are examples of blocking functions. Try the behavior of Shift-Alt-d in the Example.
2) If you have paused the script by clicking on the AutoIt Tray icon, any hotkeys pressed during this paused state are ignored.
}}}

What I get out of this If the script is processing 'loop' than a GUISetOnEvent user function is treated *always* as blocking so it is buffered and called after the 'loop' finishes (which in case of our example, it will take a long time) If we press a hotkey then that user function is checked if it is blocking, if it is not blocking than it is called right away.

I believe GUISetOnEvent should behave more like HotKeySet() in this regard.
