tempo Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 I have this code: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> GUICreate("Test GUI",400,200) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $StartBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("START",100,170,100,20) $StopBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("STOP",220,170,100,20) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $StartBtn Case $msg = $StopBtn EndSelect WEnd GUIDelete() Func Script() While 1 .... ... WEnd EndFunc What I'd like to do is to start and stop the function Script() when I press the interface buttons. The problem is that the function has it's own endless cycle that checkes something on the screen every few sec and puts data into a file. How to call this function so it won't pause the main script?
