Keyed Pause in a script?

[Cuervo]

I'm trying to set a hotkey to pause a script. What I have right now, but it's not pausing the script.

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{F12}", "TogglePause")

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Maybe if we could see what you are trying to pause... we could help.

F12 It is also reserved by Windows, according to its API.

Well F12 is a hotkey set with IsPressed() in my media player no problems there.

I think you can use it on some versions of Windows and not others. There is mention of it being reserved in the help file too.

Oh well XP Pro it works fine... but that makes sence..

I just looked it up and it appears to be reserved only when using certain communication protocalls.

Ok well that means I need to change my hotkeys so my media player doesn't interfere with them. Thanks!
