Stop Sleep

[AC130]

How do you stop a long period of sleep?

For instance:

Sleep(5000)

What If I want to interrupt that sleep? I tried Sleep(1), but that didn't work. Maybe I can put sleep in a Do/Loop and declare a function that stops the loop? It would work, but I think there maybe other ways to achieve my goal. Any ideas?

Show task, and not something as you try to solve it. Set a smaller size sleep before you start function. You can run "Sleep" several times.

Global $TrgStop = 0

HotKeySet("^1", "_Reset")
Func _Reset()
    $TrgStop = 1
EndFunc

_Sleep(60000)
MsgBox(0, 'Yes?', '<img src='http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />')

Func _Sleep($iDelay, $iStep = 50)
    Local $iCount = Int($iDelay / $iStep)
    For $i = 1 To $iCount
        Sleep($iStep)
        If $TrgStop Then
            $TrgStop = 0
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc
