Elyonne Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Basically, my script was paused with a message waiting for response. I was looking at my code and forgot and pressed F1 and immediately my script resumed and couldn't be stopped. My hot key to pause it wasn't working, CTRL + Break wasn't working, ALT + F4 worked on everything BUT the actual macros... I couldn't try anything else because my script is very click intensive with little rest by design. I managed to click on the message and still couldn't stop the thing. I had to reboot.Why does this happen and can I stop my script if it goes cray cray?This is my hot key code:HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_HoldUp") Func _HoldUp() $ans = MsgBox(0, "What Next?", "Pause script??", 3) If $ans = 1 Then $ans = MsgBox(2, "Paused", "Stop executing | Skip to next | Continue") Select Case $ans = 3 Exit Case $ans = 4 $f_dis = 1 Case $ans = 5 Sleep(1500) EndSelect EndFunc ;==>_HoldUp new to AutoIt and online forums, so I apologize in advance for being annoying.

ViciousXUSMC Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Blocking functions will hold the execution of another function (hotkey)Example would be a msgbox() you can terminate the script but it wont actually exit until you click on the messagebox so that the script proceeds to the next command. If you want a true bail out option for script testing purposes probably make a .bat file with taskkill or powershell with get-process | close-process that will close any open autoit processes. Or another Autoit Script that does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Open up TaskManager and kill the AutoIt.exe process(es) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
