It works well and it works too if i use Hotkeys instead of buttons hotkeys will stop the script and exit the programm but my normal buttons arent working anymore, also my minimize funktion or exit button at the top corner of the program arent working.

I'll hope some1 can help me out there.

thanks in advance - best regards

Can I see the code for your GUI loop? The one that contains something like $msg = GuiGetMsg().

Edit: Sorry for the f*cked up code in the quote. I replied on my iPhone which probably has something to do with it.

thats it

[KaFu]

The reason for this is the behavior of the functions.

GUICtrlSetOnEvent() waits until the last called function is finished.

HotKeySet(): "A hotkey-press *typically* interrupts the active AutoIt function/statement and runs its user function until it completes or is interrupted. Exceptions are as follows:..."

A work around for this is to register WM_COMMAND (define cID as globals) and e.g. set a global bool to check state.

Say you start your function with a loop like:

expandcollapse popup

func running()
    $bRunning = true
    while $bRunning = true
    ;do some stuff....
    wend

If you've a defined stop() function (your script sample above is none functional), AND this func responds quickly, you could call it directly from WM_COMMAND, but keep in mind the help-file, which says for GUIRegisterMsg():

"Warning: blocking of running user functions which executes window messages with commands such as "Msgbox()" can lead to unexpected behavior, the return to the system should be as fast as possible !!!"

[xzibit]

ok i tried that out, the button works like you wrote but only with a msgbox f.e.

if i replace the msgbox with:

$bRunning = False

cauz i added like you said the while statement to my main loop, its simply doin nothing.

maybe im doin a simple mistake.

[KaFu]

What's you stop() func doing? The one triggered with F5. Can't see it in the code provided. Apply the same mechanism to the WM_COMMAND.

[xzibit]

hmm i found out that he cant do anything cauz i cant exit the loop from the stop function because its not in the loop.

so the button works now inside the loop but wont let me exit it from another function.

any workaround on this ?

[KaFu]

If there is a loop (like mentioned supplied code isnt't complete; doesn't run), then the trick with the bool should work. Just add an extraline like

if $bRunning = false then exitloop

[xzibit]

thats it, thank you very much
