OnEventMode -- Stop function -- What am I doing wrong?

[2Toes]

Hey there,

I have a program that I'm working on, and I have a button that's supposed to stop a running function, when it's pressed.

However, I cannot get that to work.

I put together a sample script that is set up in the same way:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 290, 106, 192, 124)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")

Global $btnStart = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 24, 24, 99, 49)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnStart, "_Start")

Global $btnStop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 152, 24, 99, 49)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnStop, "_Stop")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
;~  $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
;~  Switch $nMsg
;~      Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
;~          Exit

;~  EndSwitch
WEnd


Func _Start()
    Global $bStartFlag = True
    $num = 1

    While $bStartFlag

        ConsoleWrite($num & @CRLF)
        Sleep(1000)
        $num += 1

    WEnd

    ConsoleWrite("Exited loop.." & @CRLF)

EndFunc


Func _Stop()
    Global $bStartFlag = False
EndFunc


Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

 

With the code above, while the _Start() func is running, the Stop button doesn't do anything.

I even threw a MsgBox into the _Stop() func, to see if the script was at least accessing the _Stop() func. But that showed that the _Stop() func is not being accessed at all while the _Start() func is running.

I'm sure this is a simple solution that I'm just over looking. But I can't figure out what that solution is lol.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

You need to let the main loop gets control again.  You are capturing the focus in _start func, it will never revert back to main this way...

Yeah, I got what you're saying!

I got it working now.

Thanks for the help @Nine
