Regain script control from runwait?

[Valuater 129]

If a user is in the middle of a script

( a script that normally waits for user to finish a process before continuing the script)

and the user would like to keep this process open AND continue the script...

(say it was in a runwait process) is this posible?

here is an example code i am working on

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <String.au3>>
#notrayicon
#include <GuiTab.au3>

$My_GUI=GUICreate("My GUI",400,200,50,50,"", $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

$Button1= GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 30,30,100,30)
$Button2= GUICtrlCreateButton("Test RunWait", 30,90,100,30)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Use Icon to ""Reset"" and to ""Exit"" this Program", 50,140)

GUISetState()

Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1); Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.
TraySetClick (16)

$Resetitem = TrayCreateItem("Reset Focus on GUI")
TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"Reset")
TrayCreateItem("")
$exititem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")
TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ExitScript")

TraySetState()

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $My_GUI)

While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()

  Select
    Case $msg = $Button1
      MsgBox(0, "GUI Event", "Script has the Focus")

    Case $msg = $Button2
      $val = RunWait("Notepad.exe", "C:\WINDOWS", @SW_SHOWNORMAL)
  EndSelect
WEnd 

Exit


; Functions
Func Reset()
    Msgbox(0,"Reset Focus","Re-setting Focus on GUI from RunWait")
;_GUICtrlTabDeselectAll ($tab, 0); resets tab buttons
    WinSetState("My GUI", "", @SW_RESTORE)
    WinActivate("My GUI")
    ControlFocus ("My GUI", "",$My_GUI)
EndFunc


Func ExitScript()
    Exit
EndFunc

requires 3.1.1++

any help would be appreciated

thanks

You would need to use Run instead of RunWait.

[Mr. Crimson 0]

You could implement a While loop that checks in on the user every once in a while to see if they'd like more time with a MsgBox, or maybe even make a hotkey to interrupt the process if the user would like.

I had a secondary use in mind for this... basically to handle a "lock-up" , "conflct" or "crash" and could use something like this to "reset" the script program

any ideas?

thanks again
