blanked Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi all, I'm relatively new to AutoIT so hi all! I have a question on a pause function. Say I use the Pause function below, when I toggle the pause off will it resume from the previous function that it was running from? What I'm doing is calling a series of functions that will help me perform some other duties. When I pause the script it should make some hidden/invisible windows visible with the IE.au3 and the reverse when I resume it. It could be something wrong with my code but when I toggle the pause function and resume it, the functions (IEFunction1 and IEFunction2) that were running seems to have reset or have just plain stopped. So does such a pause function really resume from where it was running? The $IEWin and $Notepad are handles to an Internet Explorer and Notepad window respectively. Thank you so much in advance! While 1 Local $IEFunctionSuccess=IEFunction1() If $IEFunctionSuccess="success" Then $IEFunction2() Else ContinueLoop EndIf Wend Func Pause() $Paused = NOT $Paused ToolTip("") If $Paused = 1 Then ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',500,500) If Not ($IEWin = "") Then _IEAction($IEWin,"visible") If Not ($NotePad = "") Then WinSetState($NotePad,@SW_SHOW) Sleep(3000) ToolTip("") EndIf If $Paused = 0 Then If Not ($IEWin = "") Then _IEAction($IEWin,"invisible") If Not ($NotePad = "") Then WinSetState($NotePad,@SW_HIDE) Sleep(2000) ToolTip("") EndIf While $Paused sleep(100) WEnd EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Try using _IEPropertySet instead of _IEAction AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanked Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Oh is that a more robust way of making the windows visible/invisible? I seemed to have reliability issues on the visible/invisible not working. Ok will try that out! Thank you so much! Edit: Hmm..which property should I use to make the entire IE window visible/invisible? I read the autoit help site but can't seem to work it out myself. How about the part about it continuing the previous function? Edited February 19, 2014 by blanked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanked Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I've tried the script below and it seems that when I resume the script it didn't carry on from where it left off. Is there any workaround to it? The pause function seems to be messing up my loops or something. #Include <Constants.au3> Global $Pause HotKeySet("^!w","Pause") HotKeySet("^!q","Terminate") test1() Func test1() While 1 For $Run=1 to 10 Tooltip($Run) Sleep(1000) Next WEnd EndFunc Func Pause() $Pause = NOT $Pause If $Pause = 1 Then While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd EndIf If $Pause = 0 Then Msgbox(0,"","Continue") EndIf EndFunc Func Terminate() Exit 0 EndFunc Edited February 19, 2014 by blanked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
