Repeat without while

[andrew2]

the script recieves a message from the internet and shows it in the dialogbox

my problem the script should keep doing that every 2 min

i kept trying it with a while function

but now if the while function is active the script is not reacting to anything i cant close or do anything else

i uploaded the scriptfile so you can see what i mean just execute in scite

You have alternatives to exit an "While".

$nExit= 1
HotKeySet("^!d", "_SetExit")

While $nExit
    ToolTip("Inside function: Press CTRL+ALT+D for exit of 'While'")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
MsgBox(0, "", "I'm out!")
Exit

Func _SetExit()
    $nExit= 0
EndFunc

[andrew2]

Of course. Thru a button could be another alternative. Or simply clicking the 'X' button in your window, setting the close event*.

E.g.:

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_SetExit")
