Interrupt function not work when working with GUICtrlRichEdit

[michael.szerencsits@…]

Hello AutoIt Team,

I created a program where RichEdit Box where filled in a for..to loop. I tried to implement an interrupt function but it doesn't work. Than I changed the RichEdit Box to a normal Edit box and the interrupt function work.

I attached a sampe program where this can be reproduced. Select 'Edit' radiobox and click on start. The counter now starts from 1 to 1000 and you can interrupt it via stop button. When you now select 'RichEdit' and press start, you are not able to interrupt it.

Thanks and regards
Michael

_GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText
uses
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel
which uses
_WinAPI_SetFocus

this _WinAPI_SetFocus setting focus on GUI and fires WM_COMMAND
_WinAPI_SetFocus is called many times in single seconds

so your CLICKING in
$iStop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 70, 10, 50, 20)

is to sloow for AutoIt speed.

You can make a work around by

adding Sleep()

Sleep(100)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($LogWindowR, $logtext)

or by

removing
_WinAPI_SetFocus
from
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel

Sumarizing: It seams to be normal behavior in this case.

Or you can activate the main GUI each time you write to the RichEdit:

Func _myLogR($logtext, $color = "0x000000")
	$iEndPoint = _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetTextLength($LogWindowR, True, True) - _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetLineCount($LogWindowR)
	If $iEndPoint < 0 Then $iEndPoint = 0
	_GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($LogWindowR, $logtext)
	WinActivate($Form1)
EndFunc   ;==>_myLogR

And, as mLipok mentioned, in future please us the forum for support questions.
