Command to Exit any Running Function


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a GUI APP with buttons and a couple of functions. I need to assign the "Cancel" button a command that interrupts the "CopyMaster" function below (or any other looping function).

Basically: How do you kill a function or Several Functions via a button?

Func CopyMaster($Dest_Path,$Source_Path)

$Source = $Source_Path & "\*.*"

If FileExists($Source) AND (DirGetSize ( $Source ) > 0 ) Then DirMove($Source,$_Dest_Path)

EndFunc

ziongates,

First thought is to use your "Cancel" button to set a global flag which you then check periodically within your functions. I do not believe there is any way of returning from a function other than by an internal decision of the function itself - although I am sure someone else knows a way and will tell us soon!

ziongates,

I have played about a bit and have a solution. You need to use HotKeySet which was in fact my very first thought, but I then discarded it! Only this function will "break in" to set the flag - from the Help file: "A hotkey-press *typically* interrupts the active AutoIt function/statement and runs its user function until it completes or is interrupted".

So look at this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Global $fCancel = False

GUICreate("Test", 200,200)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "On_Exit")

GUICtrlCreateButton("GUI", 10, 10, 80, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_GUI")
    
GUICtrlCreateButton("Looper", 10, 85, 80, 30)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "On_Loop")
    
Global $Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 100, 85, 50, 30)

HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "On_Cancel")
    
Global $State = GUICtrlCreateLabel($fCancel, 10, 160, 50, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func On_Loop()
    
    $count = 0
    While $count < 100
        Sleep (1000)
        If $fCancel = True Then
            $fCancel = False
            GUICtrlSetData($State, $fCancel)
            GUICtrlSetData($Label, "")
            Return
        EndIf
        $count += 1
        GUICtrlSetData($Label, $count)
    WEnd

EndFunc


Func On_GUI()
    
    $NewGUI = GUICreate("New GUI", 100, 100, 100, 100)
    GUISetState()
    
    Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 0)
    
    While 1
        If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then
            GUIDelete($NewGUI)
            Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
            Return
        EndIf 
    WEnd
    
EndFunc
    
Func On_Cancel()
    
    $fCancel = True
    GUICtrlSetData($State, $fCancel)
    
EndFunc

If you press "Looper" the count begins and will not stop until you press the "HOT KEY" - the spacebar in this case.

I hate to contradict Authenticity, but you can use both GUI modes in the same script - just not at the same time! If you press "GUI" you display a small window with its own GUIGetMsg loop - you have to reset the Opt("GUIOnEventMode") of course. However, once you are in this loop, the OnEvent "Looper" button does not work. The HotKey does though!

I hope this is useful.
