Breaking a loop on button press.

[KillerSam 0]

I am trying to create a program that will send a message that is entered into an input box to the keyboard, as well as a time delay.

I want to add a pause button, that will pause the script from continuing when pressed, until the start button is pressed, at which point it carries on again.

Global $GUI = GUICreate("Message-auto", 400,120)
$message_tag = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter the Message to be sent:", 10,15 ,190)
$Message = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 175, 20)
$Time_tag = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter the Time Delay (seconds):", 10, 55, 190)
$Time = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10,70, 60, 20,$ES_NUMBER)
$Start = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 245,55,50)
$Pause = GUICtrlCreateButton("Pause", 305,55,50)
$group_1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup ("", 234, 40,130, 45)
$amount = 0
$amount_display2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Times Sent:", 10, 90, 125)
$amount_display = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 100, 90, 125)
trayTip("Running!", "Version 1.1 - Now running!", 5, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()      
    If  $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop    
    If  $msg = $Start Then
    While 1
    $Time2 = (GUICtrlRead($Time) * 1000)
    $Message2 = (GUICtrlRead($Message))
     sleep ($Time2)
     send ($Message2)
     send ("{ENTER}")
     sleep (500)    
$amount+= 1
GUICtrlSetData($amount_display, $amount)
 WEnd
EndIf
 WEnd

I need it so the pause button will break this loop of actions, then it will continue again when the start button is pressed.

I hope this is enough information

your code is a mess.

It is going to take me a bit to clean it up.

Yup, I noticed + sorted that.

Many Many Many thanks for this, so much better than my noob version.

Quite a learning curve to see this script, and certainly something I will learn from.

Once again many thanks,

Sam.

I'm going to have to go home and work on this. I see what you want to do, but I can't remember where I saw a example on how to do this. I know you could use GUICtrlSetOnEvent

Edit...someone got it......good thing too...had me scratching my head on how to figure it out. good example on how to do it.

You're welcome. If any of it is Greek to you, PM me with what you don't understand.
