Return to While loop

[marko001]

Hi all!

I'm struggling with my code:

I have 

HotKeySet("{F1}", "_Suspend")

While 1
    _MainFunc()
WEnd

Func _MainFunc()
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $B_Class
                _ClassCreation()
            Case $B_Registry
                _RegistryUpdate()
        EndSwitch
endFunc()

Func _suspend()
    _resetClassConditions()
    _resetVars()
    _resetArrays()
    Return _Mainfunc()
EndFunc

That means program will run until F1 is pressed.

Once pressed I hoped to instantly suspend all activities but, on the contrary, if there is a running activity on _registryUpdate() this activity is performed, no matter if I used F1 to stop it.

Question, generally, is: is there a way to completely exit to main while loop stopping ALL running activities?

Thanks, if you need further details let me know,

Marco

No.

Statements are atomic withing Autoit, all the various psuedo out-of-band mechanisims, HotKeySet, Adlib, callbacks, will not interrupt an executing statement and wrest control.  The only statement that has an exception I'm aware of is Sleep().

Therefore, you can try to make whatever statement that has control execute quicker, or use Run to start another process in the background and have your main program loop until its finished.

Couldn't you trigger a flag (global variable, file creation, etc) that is continuously monitored by your called functions? Once they detect that the flag has been triggered, they can perform any cleanup and then exit.
