How to stop function with a button ?

[clearguy]

I looked at it,but I don't really know if it would help me.

My script is based too on OneEventMode with a loop.

When the button start is pressed,a very long function with calculate and do so stuff is started,and the button 'start' becomes "stop".

What I want is to stop this many minutes long function when the button 'stop' is pressed.

it look like this

GUICreate($Title, 550, 300)
$start = GUICtrlCreateButton("START",250,200,45,20)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($start,"startB")

While 1
sleep(1000) ; Idle around
  
  
WEnd

Func startB()
$TimerAll = TimerInit()
$status = GUICtrlRead($start)

    If $status = "START" Then
        GUICtrlSetData($start,"STOP")
        $status = GUICtrlRead($start)
        MsgBox(0,"System","Démarrer...")
        $GlobalStop = "no"
        wait()
    EndIf
        If $status = "STOP" Then ;this is if the press on stop would work
        GUICtrlSetData($start,"Stopped")
        MsgBox(0,"System","Arrêter...")
        $GlobalStop = "yes"
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func wait()
;very long function
EndFunc

the problem is just that when we are in wait() the press on stop don't call startB() to set a stop variable which would abort the long wait()function...any solution?

What is happening is your fucntion is stuck at wait() until it finishes the function cannot be run again nor are you out of that function yet.

I have responded to similar needs in the past. I will find the thread. He got his issues straightened out.

You may have to create a second .exe to run once the start has occurred that way you can still have control of stopping the function using ProcessKill()

I hope this helps further,

hum,and when I would include all wait() direct in startB(),would it work??

Because I've already thought about creating a second.exe,but I use the GUIWindow in which wait() modifys things like statistics and so...

Because AutoIt uses Windows Controls then you can use the Control*() commands to modify your current GUI. You dont "include" your second EXE. You would probably FileInstall() it. Then Run("WaitFunction.exe") or something similar.

Ok so I will try with a second exe...

Try putting

CODE: AutoItIf $StopNow = 0 Then

...;your function

EndIf

around each of your functions, then use Adlib to set the previously-defined Global variable $StopNow to 1 when the button is pressed...not much better, but at least you're only 'polling' the GUI events in one place.

For this,where must I put the AdlibEnable("myadlib")?

And in the Func myadlib() have I to put the GUIGetMsg() ?

Thanx for helping,gonna have the solution maybe in some days
