Need help with looping or interupt

[8879899714 0]

hi guys, need some help here ... ok, i am trying to write a scipt whereby i have a GUI to control my options. so when i pressed the "start" button, it would count to 10 and then recount from 0 till i hit the "stop" button. after the "stop" button is pressed, it would wait for other key input.

the problem with my program below is that it during the counting, i cannot stop the count. so i was wondering could anyone add in a interupt for me? or enlighten me with some kinda of looping?

thanks in advance

Look at this my example and learn from it

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test",220,100) ;, -1,-1, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$progressbar = GUICtrlCreateProgress (10,15,200,20,$PBS_SMOOTH)
$procent = GUICtrlCreateLabel ('0 %', 10,40,200,20,$SS_CENTER)
$start = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start",35,68,70,22)
$stop = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Stop",115,68,70,22)
GUICtrlSetState($stop,$GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState()

$run = 0
$i = 0

While 1
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()

  If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
  If $msg = $start Then 
    $run = 1 
    GUICtrlSetState($start,$GUI_DISABLE)
    GUICtrlSetState($stop,$GUI_ENABLE)
  EndIf
  If $msg = $stop Then 
    $run = 0
    GUICtrlSetState($start,$GUI_ENABLE)
    GUICtrlSetState($stop,$GUI_DISABLE)
  EndIf
    If $run Then
    $i = $i + 1
    If $i > 100 Then $i = 0

    GUICtrlSetData ($progressbar,$i)
    GUICtrlSetData ($procent,$i & ' %')
    Sleep(100)
  EndIf
Wend

you could also try gui on event mode.
