Wow, I feel stupid...

I have a continuously looping script, and I want to keep it that way, but I also want to be able to set a hotkey that will disable the loop whenever it is clicked... Is this possible and if so how?

At the beginning of the script:

HotKeySet("^z", "MyExit")

At the end of the script:

Func MyExit()
    Exit 
EndFunc

EDIT: Nevermind, this CLOSES the ENTIRE script.

HotKeySet("{end}","Terminate")
while 1
sleep(1000) 
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc

Thank you both a LOT

Guys,

Thanks. I was after something to completely terminate my script, as it is controlling a GUI with a lot of selections and if something went wrong (I'm still writing it), it was extremely hard to take back control of the mouse. Works great

Seriously, did you see the date on the last post in the thread before posting in this thread?

Yes I did, but as the two posters are current members (last seen today and 7th October) and I used their solution, I thought it only fit to say Thank you. I wasn't aware that saying thanks was a problem???

one year later?

Is this a conspiracy??? I extend a common courtesy and I get pounced on for it????

If you walked down the street and saw someone you knew but hadn't seen them for a year, would you walk past them or say Hi?

If you found a great quote from a long dead author, would you claim it as your own, or give the author credit?

When your mom sends you a birthday present and you haven't seen her for a while, do you just ignore her?

Come on, all I said was Thanks. Since when was being polite bounded by time???

I would walk past them.

I would claim it as my own.

Absolutely yes.

...

Just joking, but is pointless thanks someone 1 year later, you bumped an old topic

@eohalloran

Your examples are not valid at all, lets take this one as an example:

If you walked down the street and saw someone you knew but hadn't seen them for a year, would you walk past them or say Hi?

Did you meet the previous posters? No they "walked down the street" over a year ago. You were shouting "Hi" straight out to nobody.

Reviving a post that has been dead for over a year without any valid reasons is dangerously close to spamming and you should try to avoid that for your own good.

... Reviving a post that has been dead for over a year without any valid reasons is ...

He has stated his reason [to thank the author of the code in posts 2 and 3 for the solution he was looking for]. {Code that ironically does not do what the OP wanted.}

You (and others) have deemed that reason invalid. I see no problem with it and I look at every thread that I have ever posted to... had he been thanking me, I would have seen it and appreciated it - no matter how old the post or the code.

On a somewhat related topic: Let's clarify a point of etiquette - new topic vs. posting to an old topic. This forum likes new posts and that is fine, but if this forum is going to be different many other forums; I would hope it would be posted in a FAQ or "Read before posting" sticky.

Even that funny video about posting mentions that it is better to post to an old topic rather than make a new one. (Maybe it shows that the poster searched a bit before posting :-)

I love you! I'm also going to bookmark this because I always lose this code and need it every time for a new script. Thanks.

... need it every time for a new script. Thanks.

You might consider using a template file. It is just an au3 file as mentioned here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=291364

That way, every time you do a right click > New > AutoIt v3 Script the new file will contain all of the code that you want to start off with - just delete what you might not want.

Edit: The link above is a resurrected thread 23+ months old :-)
