Is it possible to have an Interupt()

[Proph]

I am wondering how (or if it's possible) to have a command interupt my script at any time.

For instance I have a script that begins to copy a directory to another place... which can take a long time. If I want to cancel it by clicking the "X" on the top of the window my gui does not close because it is in the middle of a command (or loop). It waits till it's turn then it exits.

What's a good trick to create some sort of interupt?

Thanks!

HI,

did you try HotKeySet() ?

So long,

you could also use a GUIGetMsg() within that loop to "Listen" for a user input to exit that loop

Hmmm.. maybe it is something wrong with my code.

The weird thing is... If I call my script from a batch file and I try to close my gui... it will close like I want it to.

But if I just open my gui by opening the exe file itself and I try to close it in the same spot... it doesn't close. Very weird.

Thanks for the ideas.

Are you using Opt('OnExitFunc', 'FuncName') by any chance?

[Proph]

Actually yes I did use OnExit func. Would that have something to do with it?

I did fix the problem though. Instead of having

While 1
    Sleep(10)
Wend

and a button that would call a CopyNow() to show copy progress...

I changed it to something like:

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If $CopyProcess = ("GO") Then
    $CopyProcess = ("")
    CopyNow()
WEnd

I added a new simple func:

Func StartCopy()
    $CopyProcess = "GO"
EndFunc

I also changed the button to call StartCopy() instead of CopyNow().

Now it works the way I wanted it too.

I want to thank Paul_365 for his code... that showed me how to do this.

Thanks Everyone!
