stop watch

[ptt]

Hi guys,

I make a stop watch .... for examp i set it 20 secconds to count down to 0 then will alarm me ..but how can i stop the loop whenever i can while it is still looping?

I tried ctrl break from keyboard but it wont stop the loop..it keep going all to the end then exit instead. I was reading on guisetonevent , i did that way but it doesnt do anything either. Any master can offer me some help i woujld be very appreciated.

here is my function alarm

func alarm($ala) ; i start with ala = 20 for example.

for $i = 1 to $ala

sleep(1000)

GUICtrlSetData($secl,$i ) ; i set the label to display the counting down number

Next

SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\ringout.WAV",1)

EndFunc

here is my whole code with gui

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

global $ala1, $ala2, $stopv

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=

$Form1 = GUICreate("AC", 234, 187, 442, 247)

GUISetFont (30, 9000, Default)

$hrl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00:", 8, 24, 70, 100)

GUISetFont (30, 9000, Default)

GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0xFF0000)

$minl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00:", 72, 24, 70, 100)

GUISetFont (30, 9000, Default)

GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0xFF0000)

$secl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("00", 136, 24, 43, 100)

GUISetFont (30, 9000, Default)

GUICtrlSetColor (-1, 0xFF0000)

GUISetFont (10, Default, Default)

$alarm1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Alarm1", 8, 145, 75, 25, 0)

$alarm2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Alarm2", 100, 145, 75, 25, 0)

;$stop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 180, 145, 50, 25, 0)

$set20 = GUICtrlCreateButton("SetAlarm1", 150, 90, 75, 25)

;$set2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("SetAlarm2", 150, 121, 75, 25)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$ala1 = 20

$ala2 = 10

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

case $set20

$temp = InputBox(""," Enter #secs for alarm ")

if asc($temp) > 47 and asc($temp) < 58 then

$ala1 = $temp

Elseif $temp <> "" then

msgbox(1,"","Pls enter a number")

EndIf

case $alarm1

alarm($ala1)

case $alarm2

alarm($ala2)

EndSwitch

WEnd

func alarm($ala) ; i start with ala = 20 for example.

for $i = 1 to $ala

sleep(1000)

GUICtrlSetData($secl,$i ) ; i set the label to display the counting down number

One way to do this would be to bind a function to a hotkey, so that when the hotkey is pressed, the function can set a global variable ($bCancelled?) to TRUE. Set this variable to FALSE before going into your loop, then each time through the loop test the variable and if TRUE, use ExitLoop. Take a look at HotKeySet.
