(Lesson №4) Beep Function

This may be usefull for alerts

Beep Command - Beep (*,*)

Example1:

Beep (1000,3000)

1000 is the frequentie
3000 is 3 seconds, how long the beep is on.

Example2:

MsgBox (0,"Beep”,”Do you want to hear a beep?")
Beep (1000,3000)

(Lesson №3) Loop Functions

Today i will teach you 2 loop functions.

"While 1 /Wend" and "For/Next"

While 1/Wend

While 1
MsgBox (0,"Loop","This is a Loop")
Sleep (1000)
$2 = MsgBox (4,"Exit","Would you like to exit the loop?")

If $2 = 6 Then
ExitLoop
EndIf

If $2 = 7 Then
MsgBox (0,"Ok","Ok")
EndIf

Wend

MsgBox (0, "Exit","You exited the loop")

 Alright, The moment you typed: While 1, the loop starts, if you don’t make a function to exit the loop, You can only exit the program to right click on the right bottom at the autoit icon, and exit script. So first you will get a MsgBox with: This is a Loop, then it will pause 1 second, then you get a choice, if you click Yes you will exit the loop.

If $2 (the name of the MsgBox) = 6 (Yes) Then
ExitLoop (Exit the loop)
EndIf ( Ends the function)

If you click on No you will get a MsgBox with Ok.

If $2 (the name of the MsgBox) = 7 (No) Then
MsgBox (0,"Ok","Ok")
EndIf (Ends the function)

After that you will get to the line “Wend” Wend meands it will go back to while 1, while 1 always needs a wend or it will give an error. No the script will restart.

For/Next

For $i = 5 to 1 Step -1

MsgBox (0, "CountDown", $i)

Next

MsgBox (0, "No Loop","You will get this massage 1 time and then I will exit")

Alright, you wil get 5 times the same massage, and then the script will continue and you will get a other massage. If you change 5 to 10 for example, you will get that msgbox 10 times. So when the script reaches Next it will continue.

(Lesson №2) Sleep Command

The function sleep allows you to pause the script for a while.

Sleep Command - Sleep ()

Example1:

Sleep(1000)

It will sleep (pause) 1000 miliseconds now (that is one second)

Example2:

MsgBox(0,"Hi","This is my MsgBox,the next one will apear 5 secs after closing that one!")
Sleep(5000)
MsgBox(flag,"Boro","Here i am!")
