How to make a cancel button work during While Not InetGetInfo($INET, 2)

[Marco282]

Hello people of autoit,

I have been working on my program for quite some time now, but i am walking into some issues unfortanatly. 

The script handles downloads from a website which are quite big (700mb average) So depending on the internet speed this can take some time or not. 

I want the user to be able to hit a cancel button instead of killing the process to stop the download/program. 

The script runs 2 inetget in background mode and then does the script in the autoit tags. 

The function that all this is in is called upon by 

$downloadlatest = GUICtrlCreateButton("Download Latest",180,120,95,20)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "DownloadLatest")

 

I already tried working with the guigetmsg() with switch and select function. Both ways no success. I also tried creating the cancel button within the while script using this: 

Global $cancelconvert = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel",300,150,80,20)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Cancel_convert")

 

and the cancel_convert function would kill the autopid. Also no success

 

How would a proper cancel button be made in such a case? Thankyou!

 While Not InetGetInfo($INET, 2) ;Loop until download is finished
 
Sleep(1000);
 $BytesReceived = InetGetInfo($INET, 0) ;Get bytes received
    $BytesReceived2 = InetGetInfo($INET2, 0) ;Get bytes received
 $BytesReceivedtotal = $BytesReceived+$BytesReceived2
$Pct = Int($BytesReceivedtotal / $FileSizetotal * 100) ;Calculate percentage
GUICtrlSetData($downloadprogressbar, $Pct)
GUICtrlSetData($downloadpercentagelabel, $Pct & "%")
 
 
 WEnd

Instead of using -1 with your onevent code have you tried using the actual label? Like GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($downloadlates,"DownloadLatest")? You could also try putting a ConsoleWrite or MsgBox in there somewhere after your While Not loop to make sure it's actually going through properly. Let us know if either of those helps and we can go from there.

Follow this link - http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Interrupting_a_running_function. It is code written by Melba23, a well respected member here. It may or may not help you, but I believe it will.

This did not matter unfortanatly. The loop is running correctly, if i but a msgbox in, it pops up everytime. 

Maybe more explanation to how its run in the script.

The mainscript calls 

$downloadlatest = GUICtrlCreateButton("Download Latest",180,120,95,20)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Button3Click")

 

Then button3click:

 

Func Button3Click() ;Download LATEST check

If GuiCtrlRead($highlightlatest) = $GUI_CHECKED then

   Convertcheckhighlight()

Else

   Convertcheckbroadcast()

   EndIf

EndFunc

 

 

 

Func Convertcheckbroadcast() ;Check for converting last broadcast

 

   If GuiCtrlRead($checkautoconvertlatest) = $GUI_CHECKED then

 LatestBroadcastconvert()

Else

   LatestBroadcast()

   EndIf

EndFunc

 

Then latestbroadcast is being called. Within that function is a while not during the download. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And somdcomputerguy, it sounds like it would apply on my situation. Unfortanatly I dont seem to be able to implement it. Does the  HotKeySet("x", "_Interrupt")   even work when its in the mainscript and the script is running an onevent function?

I don't have or run your script, so I don't know. Does it? Try it and see,

It seems to not do anything, unfortanatly. So is there anyway, i can put code in the while loop where it checks for the GUI presses? 

It must be possible and somehow i am doing it wrong.

Sorry to bump, but look in my signature for _InetGetGUI() as an idea.
