If Script Paused, Shut Down Script and all Windows

[TJ3]

Hi, first off excellent forum and hallo all. First post so bit of a noob question, but I'd really appreciate it.

I want a script to run automatically, but I want to include a fail safe so that:

a ) If Script pauses for some odd reason, exit script.

b ) AND exit all windows.

I was thinking something along the lines of the following for (a) but it doesn't really work. I thought hotkeyset might recognise "pause" and then go on to exit, but it doesn't?

And I haven't how to go about closing all windows.

Thanks very much

HotkeySet("{pause}", "Exit")

Body of Code Here

Func Exit()
Exit
EndFunc

I think you might have been unlucky by choosing a reserved word for your function name.

Call it MyExit or anything else not reserved and it should work.

You can try something like this: (untested tho should work)

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
$var = WinList()

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
    
    For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
  If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
    winkill($var[$i][0], "")
  EndIf
Next
    Exit
EndFunc

Func IsVisible($handle)
  If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then 
    Return 1
  Else
    Return 0
  EndIf

endfunc

Fantastic, thanks ...

However, I only learnt today that what I thought was a script pausing, was actually AutoIT losing focus and waiting for itself to regain focus.

Sorry. How would you adjust the code so that:

a ) If script loses focus (i.e. hangs and waits for focus), Exit.

b ) AND close all windows.

Orgins, where would you put the main body of the scripts for your code. I tried all kinds of ways but I think I bodged it.

Thanks guys.

I'd like to see the code for "if a script hangs, then get it to do anything..."

So it's not possible? Cheers,
