quick question about loops and GUI buttons

[Stephen89]

ok here's my problem. i have a simple GUI which calls different functions for each button.

so example button "A" will call a()

and button "B" will call b()

button "C" will pause the script

button "D" will exit

cant make it work.. whenever i press button "A" it waits for a() to finish first so that the other buttons can function.. i want the buttons to be in the top priority so eventhough function a() is not yet finish, when i click button "C" the script should pause.

i don't know what im doing wrong..

so i will put my GUI SCRIPT... functions not included yet.. that works just fine but with functions that have while statements inside or do until statements, i can't make the pause or exit button to work... after running the function

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Check out this link for how to interrupt a function.

thanks alot been tryin to make it work but still got some problem...

below is the function i want to interrupt

i followed the tutorial in the link you gave me but just when i press the hotkey,accelerator or the button, it wont do the function asap. it still waits for this function to finish before interrupted

Func a() ;

$fInterrupt = 0

While 1

$coord = PixelSearch( 168, 644, 191, 670, 0xAA3539, 2 ) ; pixel detect login screen

If Not @error Then

ConsoleWrite("login" & @CRLF)

MouseClick("Left",496,260,1)

sleep(80)

MouseClick("Left",498,485,2)

sleep(80)

ControlSend($prog,'','',$message)

Sleep(100)

MouseClick("Left",453,568,1)

Sleep(200)

ElseIf @error Then

ConsoleWrite("error" & @CRLF)

Sleep(500)

EndIf

If $fInterrupt <> 0 Then

; The flag was set

Switch $fInterrupt

Case 1

ConsoleWrite("!Func 1 interrrupted by Func 2" & @CRLF)

Case 2

ConsoleWrite("!Func 1 interrrupted by HotKey" & @CRLF)

Case 3

ConsoleWrite("!Func 1 interrrupted by Accelerator" & @CRLF)

EndSwitch

Return

EndIf

Sleep(100)

WEnd

EndFunc
