emWIN: GUI_Exec() and Job Management

lsrbigfoot — Sat, 15 May 2021 01:02:13 GMT

Just asking a few hypothetical questions about using GUI_Exec() or GUI_Exec1() calls because I sometimes experience HardFaults when GUI_Exec() was called.

The below snippet is from emWin Manual (section 6.1.8.7.1):

static void _DemoTimer(void) { WM_HWIN hWin; WM_HTIMER hTimer; hWin = WM_CreateWindow(10, 10, 100, 100, WM_CF_SHOW, _cbWin, 0); hTimer = WM_CreateTimer(hWin, 0, 1000, 0); while (1) { GUI_Exec(); } }

If WM_CreateWindow() and WM_CreateTimer() and others like GUI_FillRectEx() and GUI_DrawGradientV() were called 1000 times prior to next GUI_Exec() call will the job queues get compromised (overflow) or does that depend on my program settings like heap size or some other emWin setting?

Will GUI_Exec1() call process entire WM_CreateWIndow() action or part of action? [See below]

hWin = WM_CreateWindow(10, 10, 100, 100, WM_CF_SHOW, _cbWin, 0); GUI_Exec1(); hTimer = WM_CreateTimer(hWin, 0, 1000, 0); GUI_Exec1();

Is there a way to tell how many jobs need to be performed by GUI_Exec()?

Lastly, what approaches do you recommend to avoid hardfaults when GUI_Exec() or GUI_Exec1() is called?

Hi lsrbigfoot,

1. Yes, if you call WM_CreateWindow 1000 times, it will cause hardfault. It is helpful to expand s_gui_memory[] size. But 1000 times is too large anyway.

2. Not clear what you mean. But you can do like this

3. It seems there isn't any function can tell how many jobs left.

4. I think enlarge the emWin buffer and call GUI_Exec() more frequently is useful.
