Terminating Send

[RazerM 0]

If my program is currently sending many characters to a window. Could i stop it using End as a hot key(becasue hot keys interrupt scripts) and then have some code that stops the send whilst the program still runs?

Yes if you make it conditional... Ie..

Hotkeyset('{end}', 'StopSend')
HotKeySet('{Home}', 'StartSend')
Global $Blah = 0

While 1
    If $Blah = 0 Then
        Do
            Send('Some Chars')
        Until $Blah = 1
    EndIf
WEnd

Func StopSend()
    $Blah = 1
EndFunc

Func StartSend()
    $Blah = 0
EndFunc

Maybe something like that...

i was talking about a certain string. I want it to be sent once

A long Send() command can't be interrupted by hotkeys.

HotKeySet ("{END}", "stopsend")
Opt ("SendKeyDelay", 20)
Send ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" & _ 
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")

Func stopsend()
    MsgBox (0, "no more sending", "i don't know what to do when the func ends...")
EndFunc

It sends the whole string, even if you press end. If you press end while it's going, it will show the MsgBox at the end after the string is sent.

this is what i have. it works well

$message = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($tab0EditText), "")
    For $i = 1 To $message[0]
    Send($message[$i], 1)
    If _IsPressed("23") = 1 Then ExitLoop
    Next

Indeed that works because you're sending the string in segments. Good job finding a fix.
