Event to kick out of a loop?

[shadesdude]

This is just some simplified code that I was testing if an event trigger would kick out of a loop. This reflects a program I am working on however the Click1() functing has some pretty complex nested loops (I am used to asm ).

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUICreate("MY GUI")
$ViewImageButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click 1", 178, 350, 171, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Click1")
$ViewImageButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click 2", 178, 300, 171, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Click2")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func Click1()
    While(1)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func Click2()
   MsgBox(0x0,"test", "it worked")
EndFunc

Now lets say I change it to...

$stop = 0

Func Click1()
   While(Not $stop)
   WEnd
EndFunc

Func Click2()
   $stop = 1
   MsgBox(0x0,"test", "it worked")
EndFunc

I'm guessing that won't work either because it will never call the Click2() function. Anyway is there anyone who has a good way to make it kick out of the loop?

maybe..

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Dim $click

GUICreate("MY GUI")
$ViewImageButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click 1", 178, 350, 171, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Click1")
$ViewImageButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Click 2", 178, 300, 171, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Click2")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    While $click
        ToolTip("Press Click1 to exit", 10, 10, "thanks Valuater", 1)
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
WEnd

Func Click1()
    $click = Not $click
EndFunc   ;==>Click1

Func Click2()
    MsgBox(0x0, "test", "it worked")
EndFunc   ;==>Click2

Very impressive (I especially enjoyed the tooltip) It wasn't exactly what I needed but it set me on the right track .

Now I need to think of a way to pause my loops and have it resume from the same spot so the user can access settings and whatnot. Autoit dosen't have access to a stack pointer does it. o.0
