Exit out of a loop using key press


 Share

Recommended Posts

I'm sure this is easy but my brain isn't working.

I want a user to exit out of a loop if they press a certain key

Lookup HotKeySet in the help file. Remember to look at the example.

I do know about hotkeys but doesn't do what i want. i only want to exit out of a loop not exit

this is the script im doing (maybe make things clearer)

$SynchTimeComputer  = PC99

DO
   SplashTexton ""," Waiting for " $SynchTimeComputer &@CRLF&@CRLF& "press esc to skip"
   $p = ping ($SynchTimeComputer) 
UNTIL $p > "0"

$x = 0
$SynchTimeComputer  = PC99

DO
   SplashTexton ""," Waiting for " $SynchTimeComputer &@CRLF&@CRLF& "press esc to skip"
   $p = ping ($SynchTimeComputer)
if $x = 1 then exitloop
UNTIL $p > "0"

func endloop()
$x = 1
endfunc

I will try to be the 1st with some working code in this thread.

HotKeySet('a', 'trigger')
$a = 1
$b = 0

While $a = 1
    Sleep(100)
    If stop() Then $a = 0
WEnd

Func trigger()
    $b = 1
EndFunc

Func stop()
    If $b = 1 Then Return 1
EndFunc

The while loop will collapse when $b = 1 The trigger function through HotKetSet() will do this.
