Interrupt current action if Button is pressed

[smahdi83]

Hello,

I have a script which does alot of processing and can take some time to finish. But I also want to include a button which gives the option to the user to stop the script at any given time.

Im using AutoItSetOption("GUIOnEventMode", 1), so each event has its own function.

The only problem is that once processing starts and I click on the stop button, the event only kicks in at the end of the script not during the script.

How can I create an interrupt to process the Stop button's event function?

Thanks,

You should be able to use AdlibEnable().

What function tells me if someone has clicked on a button. Like the state of the button has changed.

Maybe GUIRegisterMsg()

The proper thing to use is @GUI_CtrlId

Switch @GUI_CtrlId
        Case $your_button_here
              ;stuff to do here
EndSwitch

Put this in a function and it will work.

Maybe GUIRegisterMsg()

I think this is the best way. The easiest method I found was like this

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "MY_WM_COMMAND")

Func MY_WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    $nID            = BitAnd($wParam, 0x0000FFFF)
   
      ;if the control is the button and the left mouse is clicked 
    if $nID = $StopButton and _ispressed(1) then            
             $Stop = true
    endif
   
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc
