filet Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 My program is working now, thanks to everyones help. It is running a do...until loop and it checks for updates and sounds a beep when the number of available jobs increases. I need to turn it off if I leave my house or go to sleep, so I would like to know if there is a function I can use to stop the loop with a manual keystroke. It can be any/or all letter(s) or number(s) as long as it stops. Right now I have to shut the conputer off to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shornw Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Check out HotKeySet, sounds perfect. Until you've set that up, consider Ctrl+Alt+Delete > TaskManager or right click the SysTray icon and exit ;-) Edited October 4, 2011 by shornw [font='Comic Sans MS']Eagles may soar high but weasels dont get sucked into jet engines[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filet Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I think what I need is HotKeySet using the Esc key driving the ExitLoop function to terminate my loop. I could use a little help with the code. I'm trying to learn how to use this stuff, but it is still a bit of a mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 4, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 4, 2011 filet, Just add this to your script: HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit") Func On_Exit() ; Clear up code Exit EndFunc If you need to do any housekeeping before you exit, such as closing files, you put that where I have indicated.
