function to stop the script

[mentosan]

Hello friends ! muttley

I'm looking for a function to stop the script, not to exit. I want to build in the tray autoit icon two supplementary items: "Stop" will allow you to stop the script, the icon remains in the systray, and then you could run again the script from the "Start" button. Exit() will make the icon to dissapear.

So far I found function break, TraySetPauseIcon, but these are not achieving my goal.

Thanks !

What does your Script?

Try with a while-Loop and TrayGetMsg

Search the helpfile for "TogglePause" or look at the example in HotKeySet()
