Detecting if function is active

[adjist]

Hello! i am curious as to how you would detect if a function is active

 

and if possible, if a certain function is active, exit the current function.

example code :

if example() Then
    exit function



example()
    MsgBox(1,"Hello!","Hello!")

adjist,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

I would suggest that set a flag (a Global variable) as you enter the "certain function" and then check if it is set when you need - just do not forget to clear the flag when the "certain function" ends. If you can give a more detailed example of exactly what you are trying to do we can offer more specific advice.

You might also like to read the Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki as it can get quite complicated to do in some cases.

I see,

So you're saying , set something such as ?

Global $example = 0

At the top of my script, and inside the func I put ?

Func example()
$example = 1

;code

$example = 0
EndFunc

But when I do this, I get this error,

Variable used without being declared.
