Its possible to make "box" or whatever in GUI window where you can add text and save it. Next time i open GUI text will be here saved

$sInput = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "text", left, top [, width [, height [, style [, exStyle]]]] )

$sReadInput = GUICtrlRead($sInput)

Throw it into an INI file, and reload the text from the ini.

IniWrite()

IniRead()

Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”

Thus the links I provided?

#include

;Ini Vars
$pathIni = @DesktopDir & "/mecha.ini"
$sIniSection = "Saved"
$sIniKey = "Input"
$sSavedInput = IniRead($pathIni, $sIniSection, $sIniKey, False)

;Make the Gui
$GuiMain = GUICreate("Test", 150, 100)
$sInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("Insert Input", 5, 5, 140, 40)
If Not ($sSavedInput = "False") Then GUICtrlSetData($sInput, $sSavedInput)
$bExitSave = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit and Save Input", 5, 50, 140, 40)

;Activate Gui
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GuiMain)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $bExitSave ;Exit and Save Button is pressed
            $sReadInput = GUICtrlRead($sInput) ;Read the user's input
            IniWrite($pathIni, $sIniSection, $sIniKey, $sReadInput) ; Save the user's input to the ini file
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

There's a working standalone example. If you can't figure it out from there... then sir I believe you can haz needing more help than I can haz giving u

I think everyone would agree this is enough information for you to put it together yourself. Quit being lazy and just get to work.

How to stop working function? For example in GUI is 2buttons. One is Start other Stop. When i hit start code is for example 

Func on_start()
While 1
Run("calc")
WEnd
EndFunc

so it opens calculator million times (idk if its right example) and how i can make On_stop function? When i would click stop button it stops on_start function. By the way im doing it with link opener for sreenshots in internet. So on start is ~10links and i want to stop opening links when i click that button.

I tried to solve it myself but didnt found anything or it just wont work. I tried _Ieaction($oIE,"stop") but it just dont do anything.

Edgaras,

You do not need a While...WEnd loop here. Just decide if you want to wait until you close Calculator and then use Run or RunWait. ;)

Edgaras,

Why do you want an infinite loop to start Calulator? ;)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Calc", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            ; Disable the GUI so that you cannot press the button again
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $hGUI)
            ; Run Calc and wait until it finishes
            RunWait("Calc.exe")
            ; Reenable the GUI 
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $hGUI)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

There is no need for an infinite loop and so no need to interrupt it. :)

... Calculator is example. In your example you show me only one button. But i need 2. Again, i use on_button func. So it calls OnEvent GUI? For exmp clicking 1st button opens different things like calc, notepad, mword, IE and so on. And while computer/script is opening these things i want to hit stop button and stop script which opens calc etc.

Its like with hotkeys from helpfile clicking pause it pauses script or terminates with esc. But i dont need to stop all GUI with bunch of buttons just that working function

Edgaras,

For exmp clicking 1st button opens different things

And how do you expect to AutoIt to do that? How do you tell it what app to open? ;)

i want to hit stop button and stop script which opens calc

And what do you mean by this? Opening an app is a single action - you cannot "stop" it but you can close the app once it is open. :)

What about posting the code you do have rather then me writing snippets which may or may not help. :D

I dont have full code right now. I will try to create short GUI example.

#include <guiconstantsex.au3>
#include  <crypt.au3>
#include <ie.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Global $hGUI2, $hButton2
Home()
Func Home()
     $hGUI1 = GUICreate("Opener", 200, 200, 100, 100)
     GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "On_Close_Main")
     $hButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 10, 10, 80, 30)
     GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Button1")
     $hButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 10, 60, 80, 30)
     GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Button2")
     GUISetState()
     While 1
         Sleep(10)
     WEnd
EndFunc  
Func On_Button1()
_IECreate("http://www.google.com")
_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/139886-how-to-create-multiple-gui-for-newb/page__st__20")
_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com")
_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
EndFunc  
Func On_Close_Main()
     Exit
EndFunc

Func On_Button2()
;so i dont know how to stop previous function
EndFunc

When 1st function starts i want to stop it when i want or i have to stop. Never know when i will need to stop as my computer slow. Same with infinitive loop.

Edgaras,

That shows why posting some code is always a good idea - now we can see why you might want to interrupt the function. ;)

And here is how you can do it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $fStart_IECreation = False, $hButton1

Home()

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    ; Should we start?
    If $fStart_IECreation = True Then
        _IECreation()
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Home()
    $hGUI1 = GUICreate("Opener", 200, 200, 100, 100)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "On_Close_Main")
    $hButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 10, 10, 80, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Button1")
    $hButton2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 10, 60, 80, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Button2")
    GUISetState()
EndFunc   ;==>Home

Func On_Button1()
    ; Set the flag to show we should start
    $fStart_IECreation = True
EndFunc   ;==>On_Button1

Func _IECreation()
    ; Prevent multiple presses
    GUICtrlSetState($hButton1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    ;_IECreate("http://www.google.com")
    ; Simulate IECreate function
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 1" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(5000)
    ; Check to see if we should stop
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
    ;_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/139886-how-to-create-multiple-gui-for-newb/page__st__20")
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 2" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(5000)
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
    ;_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com")
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 3" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(5000)
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
    ;_IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 4" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(5000)
    $fStart_IECreation = False
    ; Re-enable button
    GUICtrlSetState($hButton1, $GUI_DISABLE)
EndFunc   ;==>_IECreation

Func On_Close_Main()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>On_Close_Main

Func On_Button2()
    ; Set the flag to show we should stop
    $fStart_IECreation = False
EndFunc   ;==>On_Button2

You might like to read the Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki to see other ways you can do the same thing - it is not as simple as you might think. :)

Edgaras,

Also it will be possible to stop loops?

Of course - look at the examples in the Wiki tutorial which use loops to illustrate how to do it. :)

You are correct that it is a little hard to understand, but do try to follow the code along with the tutorial - I wrote it to help those learning some of the more difficult elements of AutoIt. And, of course, you can always ask if you have any questions - that is why we are here after all. ;)

Just found out how to make with loop in easy way. I made while loop in ur _iecreation

Func _IECreation()
While 1
;<-------------- here goes comands what to do.
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 1" & @CRLF)   ; still dont know what this means
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
;<-------------- here goes comands what to do.
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 2" & @CRLF)
;
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
;<-------------- here goes comands what to do.
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 3" & @CRLF)
   ;
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
;<-------------- here goes comands what to do.
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 4" & @CRLF)
   ;

   WEnd
EndFunc

And placed codes for "start" and "stop" buttons. Wait wait I just saw that there is possible to cut half code ;)

EDIT : 

Func _IECreation()
While 1
;script goes here
    If $fStart_IECreation = False Then
        ConsoleWrite("Stopping" & @CRLF)
        Return
    EndIf
;and here
    ConsoleWrite("IECreate 4" & @CRLF)
   WEND
EndFunc

These ConcoleWrite do something?

Edgaras,

Why do you want a loop there? If you put a loop in the function, then you will just run multiple instances of each _IECreate statement - which I am sure you do not want. What exactly are you trying to do here? ;)
