| Code: | SetTimer, here, -1000
MsgBox,,,,3

1) Timer is set
2) MsgBox (test) appears
3) when MsgBox (test) has been displayed for 1 second, the trigger for label "here" is fired
4) at this point, MsgBox (test) is still there while Sleep command is being performed
5) "test" MsgBox's timeout is interpreted as still being part of the MsgBox Command, so it will disappear but will not perform the Exit command since the commands from label "here" are being performed
6) after the Sleep command, MsgBox (reached) appears and then times out
7) finnaly, label "here" Returns, allowing the script to continue from where it stopped [right after the first MsgBox] and the Exit command is reached

I suppose he just wants to understand why that doesn't work.

The same happens with sleep
Scenario #1 - 1st Sleep finishes after 2nd Sleep
| Code: | SetTimer, here, -1000
Sleep, 11000 ;MsgBox,,,,11
msgbox,,,next,1
Exit
here:
sleep 5000
msgbox,,,reached here!,2
return |
1) Timer is set
2) Sleeps for 1 second
3) Calls routine "here" (& "Sleep 11000" carries on with it's sleeping)
4) "Sleep 5000" begins it's sleep
5) "Sleep 5000" finishes ("Sleep 11000" down to 5000 left)
6) Msgbox "reached here!" is displayed (for 2 secs)
7) Label "here" Returns to main script (which is still running "Sleep 11000" --> now down to 3000 left)
 "Sleep 11000" finishes
9) Msgbox "next" displayed (for 1 sec)
So it can be seen that the label "here" and main script are being executed simulataneously (ie multi-threading)
Scenario #2 - 1st Sleep finishes before 2nd Sleep
| Code: | SetTimer, here, -1000
Sleep, 3000 ;MsgBox,,,,3
msgbox,,,next,1
Exit
here:
sleep 5000
msgbox,,,reached here!,2
return |
1) Timer is set
2) Sleeps for 1 second
3) Calls routine "here" (& "Sleep 3000" carries on with it's sleeping - 2000 left)
4) "Sleep 5000" begins it's sleep (within which "Sleep 3000" times-out)
This where (during above sleep) i think the main should execute the next commnad (the msgbox "next")
As i stated above, the thread "here" & main script = being executed independently, with main running the command after SetTimer (Sleep 3000), so why not also the 2nd command after??
5) "Sleep 5000" finishes ("Sleep 3000" expired)
6) Msgbox "reached here!" is displayed (for 2 secs)
7) Label "here" Returns to main script
Msgbox "next" displayed (for 1 sec)

Yeah. I'm not sure how Sleep and MsgBox are coded (never checked AHK's source code). But I must say original AHK itself can't multithread AFAIK. I'm not an AHK Guru so I can't explain these things for sure.

Did a basic test, using a non-modal MsgBox .. worked (as predicted)
| Code: | SetTimer, here, -1000
MsgBoxNonModal("test") ;,,,,3 (haven't incorporated timeout yet)
msgbox reached here first!! ;ie using non-modal msgbox allows code following MsgBox.. line to execute BEFORE returned from here
Exit
here:
sleep 5000
msgbox, reached here!
return |
