Click button to start script, click same button to stop

[houseonfire]

How would I go about making this script stop by clicking the same button that activated it?

I figured i needed multithreading, so Iv been trying to use this here:

But I'm not getting too far.

Thanks

I guess I don't understand how to use the multithreading maybe, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks

You don't need or want multi-threading.

There are lots of ways to do this, some are explained in the Interrupting a running function-tutorial in the wiki, so I suggest you start there.

Another way to do this is like this, although I'd suggest going thru that tutorial as well.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Local $GUI, $Button

$GUI = GUICreate("one button - two things")
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Start ", -1, -1)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button
            DoSomething()
    EndSwitch
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func DoSomething()
    If ControlGetText("one button - two things", "", $Button) = " Start " Then
        ControlSetText("one button - two things", "", $Button, " Stop ")
        MsgBox(0, "", "The script has started doing something")
    Else
        ControlSetText("one button - two things", "", $Button, " Start ")
        MsgBox(0, "", "The script has stopped doing something")
    EndIf
EndFunc
