WinSetState() lags

Description

I tested this on various systems and the result is the same. This function lags for some reason. I read the documentation and couldn't find explanation for this strange behaviour. So, if someone would check if this is intended because it's really unexpected and kind of weird (probably there is some better word to describe it).
I wrote a little script to demonstrate it. Did try to be as far away as I could from native functions made for making guis to eliminate possible shortcuts and still to be compact:

Global $hGui = GUICreate("Test", 300, 300, 20, 100)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("WinSetState functions:", 15, 70, 130)
Global $hButtonShowWindow_AutoIt = GUICtrlCreateButton("ShowWindow", 20, 100, 100, 25)
Global $hButtonHideWindow_AutoIt = GUICtrlCreateButton("HideWindow", 20, 150, 100, 25)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("DllCall:", 190, 70, 130)
Global $hButtonShowWindow_DllCall = GUICtrlCreateButton("ShowWindow", 170, 100, 100, 25)
Global $hButtonHideWindow_DllCall = GUICtrlCreateButton("HideWindow", 170, 150, 100, 25)

Global $bDialog = "0x0100FFFF00000000000004004C0ACC80040000000000A2005F00000000004100" & _
		"750074006F0049007400200049006E00700075007400200042006F0078000000" & _

		"32000E0002000000FFFF8000430061006E00630065006C0000000000"

Global $tDialog = DllStructCreate("byte[" & BinaryLen($bDialog) & "]")
DllStructSetData($tDialog, 1, $bDialog)

Global $aCall = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "CreateDialogIndirectParamW", _
		"hwnd", 0, _
		"ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tDialog), _
		"hwnd", $hGui, _
		"ptr", 0, _
		"lparam", 0)

Global $hDialog = $aCall[0]

GUISetState()

While 1
	Switch GUIGetMsg()
		Case - 3
			Exit
		Case $hButtonShowWindow_AutoIt
			WinSetState($hDialog, 0, @SW_SHOW)
		Case $hButtonShowWindow_DllCall
			DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ShowWindow", "hwnd", $hDialog, "int", @SW_SHOW)
		Case $hButtonHideWindow_AutoIt
			WinSetState($hDialog, 0, @SW_HIDE)
		Case $hButtonHideWindow_DllCall
			DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ShowWindow", "hwnd", $hDialog, "int", @SW_HIDE)
	EndSwitch
WEnd

I did manage to find out that WinSetState() eventually calls ShowWindow function the same way I did in that script and that the lag is likely with what comes after that.

Thanks.

Cannot you explain for a non english native what the difference of behavior you demonstrate?
I don't understand "lag"
For me clicking winsetstate buttons or dllcall ones do the same under Vista.

comment:2 Changed 16 years ago by trancexx

Yes, sory for me not being more descriptive.
It's not the same for me. When I click ShowWindow on the left window shows and after some time controls are drawn (there is some short time when window is without controls).

... it's that sleep 250 that you call for some reason. I guess that makes it intended behaviour and my original question is answered.

Is that sleep needed?

  • Resolution set to No Bug
  • Status changed from new to closed

In fact all Win...() are suppose to respect the Opt("WinWaitDelay") which is 250 by default.
That's the reason you get the Sleep(250).
use Op('"WinWaitDelay",0) if you don't like it.

I am curious to see how you find a sleep(250) was occuring.

Well, if I tell you I will have to kill you. And that's bad because likely I'm gonna need you more.

... no I used method described by monoceres in this topic http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84936
This is the code that suited my needs to intercept AutoIt's calls to Sleep:

#NoTrayIcon
#include <WinAPI.au3>

;Opt("WinWaitDelay", 0)

Global $hSleepCallback = DllCallbackRegister("_Intercept_Sleep", "none", "dword")

If _AddHookApi("kernel32.dll", "Sleep", DllCallbackGetPtr($hSleepCallback)) Then
	ConsoleWrite("All OK. Sleep is caught. Calls other than 0 or 10 follows:" & @CRLF)
Else
	ConsoleWrite("!Failed to intercept calls to Sleep function." & @CRLF)
EndIf


Global $hGui = GUICreate("Test", 300, 300, 20, 100)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("WinSetState functions:", 15, 70, 130)
Global $hButtonShowWindow_AutoIt = GUICtrlCreateButton("ShowWindow", 20, 100, 100, 25)
Global $hButtonHideWindow_AutoIt = GUICtrlCreateButton("HideWindow", 20, 150, 100, 25)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("DllCall:", 190, 70, 130)
Global $hButtonShowWindow_DllCall = GUICtrlCreateButton("ShowWindow", 170, 100, 100, 25)

Btw, thanks for the explanation and solution of course. Sometimes even the obvious things are not so obvious at all.
