Stop While Loop

[Dieuz]

How can I terminate a while loop using a different button?

$Stop = False

;Gui Here

While 1

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $Button1
            Start()
        Case $msg = $Button2
            Stop()

    EndSelect


WEnd

Func Start()

  While $Stop = false
  ; Do stuff
  Wend

EndFunc

Func Stop()

       $Stop = true

EndFunc

Thanks,

Dieuz

try

ExitLoop [level]

Parameters

level [optional] The number of loop levels to exit from. The default is 1 (meaning the current loop).

Remarks

A negative level or zero value has no effect.

ExitLoop will break out of a While, Do or For loop.

ExitLoop is useful when you would otherwise need to perform error checking in both the loop-test and the loop-body.
