Threading

[nskd]

Hi,

Is Macro Scheduler able to create threads and perform parallel programming?

[Grovkillen]

I believe the events triggered by "on event" commands are handled in separate threads.

I think macro scheduler isn’t able to perform multi threading Processing like other types of programming languages like Python.

I’m trying overcome the main dialog freeze up when a push button was pressed for Processor intense calculation and data processing. In python, I can use worker threading class to overcome this, to prevent the main dialog from “freezing”.

Anyway MS can do the same?

Compile multiple exe files is my take on multi threading.

Looks like Macro Scheduler isn’t meant for threading. That’s the limitation for MS.

Dialog events, and OnEvent handlers are processed in a separate thread to the main script. That said, Macro Scheduler is designed as a high level automation tool and doesn't offer the same threading capabilities of more traditional, lower level programming languages.
