 Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:00 am Post subject: Looking for a way to pause engine (Sleep doesn't do it) |
 |
|
I'm trying to update the caption on a control element, right before I do a memory scan. Unfortunately, the engine is so fast, that it ties itself up with the scan right away, and the caption is never updated (until it's all over).
I tried to put a Sleep command before it (even as long as 1 sec), but that didn't help.
Is there any other way to tell the engine to take a little breather?
| Code: | function CEButton1Click(sender)
control_setCaption(CETrainer_CEEdit1, "searching") -- never shows up
Sleep(1000) -- doesn't help
print("start")
ms=createMemScan()
memscan_firstScan(ms, soValueBetween, vtSingle, rtRounded, 0, 10000, 0x00000000, 0x00007fffffffffff, "", fsmNotAligned, "", false, false, false, false)
memscan_waitTillDone(ms)
fl=createFoundList(ms)
foundlist_initialize(fl)
count=foundlist_getCount(fl)
object_destroy(fl)
object_destroy(ms)
print("done, "..count.." matches")
control_setCaption(CETrainer_CEEdit1, "done") -- never shows up
Sleep(2000)
control_setCaption(CETrainer_CEEdit1, "-") -- this is the only update shown
end

Lua still has control over the main thread. You have to explicitly tell CE to process GUI messages.
| Code: | CETrainer.STARTPOS.Caption = 'Searching...'
processMessages()
local ms = createMemScan()
ms.firstScan(soValueBetween, vtSingle, rtRounded, startXmin, startXmax, 0x00000000, 0x00007fffffffffff, '', fsmNotAligned, '', false, false, false, false)
ms.waitTillDone() |
You could also use OnScanDone or wait in a separate thread.

Ah, yes... That's what I needed.
processMessages() is doing exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a bunch! |
