How To Have The Macro Stop When A Key Is Pressed?

[thegreatconductor]

I need to setup my macro to run infinitely in a loop but then have a keypress abort the macro such as F10 so when the F10 key is hit the macro stops. Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance for your help

This is a popular version.

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{F10}", "Terminate"); example F10 to exit
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

; put in your script here



Func TogglePause()
   $Paused = NOT $Paused
   While $Paused
       sleep(100)
       ToolTip($paused&'Script is "Paused"',0,0)
   WEnd
   ToolTip($paused)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
   Exit 0
EndFunc

Adapted version from the helpfile:

HotKeySet("{F10}", "Terminate")

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1
  ; do what you need to do in the loop
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Based on the example in the help file for HotKeySet:

HotKeySet("{F10}", "Terminate")

;;;; Body of program would go here;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;


Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

That's pretty easy actually...

Just copy this code :

HotKeySet("{F10}", "CLOSE")

Func CLOSE()
Exit
EndFunc

Good luck with your script !

Seems like everybody was writing something at the same time her

That is too funny, it was posted almost a half hour ago, and we all deside to post on it at the same time.

Actually, I'd say it's impressive that every post was informative instead of simply "RTFM." What a great community
