Timer Pause

[ScripterDude]

Hello all,

I am currently converting over my Kixtart "Tip of the Day" script to AutoIT and could you some assistance. Just a quick app synopsis: Script pauses for 1 minute the displays a "Tip of the Day" for 7 seconds then automatically closes. The issue I am having is that I need a PAUSE button function that will halt the automatic exit of the script. Basically I want the the "Tip of the Day" to start a count down when run, after the countdown, automatically close. If the user clicks the Pause button, it will suspend the countdown indefinately and they will be able to close by using the normal window close X button.

$Timer = TimerInit()
While 1
   If TimerDiff($Timer) / 1000 >= 7 Then
        MsgBox(0, 'Timer', 'Time is up, now exiting', 1)
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

Maybe that will give you some ideas...

Func pause()

ProcessWait ( "ScripterDude");providing no process named ScripterDude exists

EndFunc

Assigning your pause button to this Func will stop the script indefinately thus leaving the only option to be to close it out.
