So set a gobal variable from inside run() to indicate which process the script is currently waiting for. For instance, you could store the value returned by the OutputVarPID parameter of Run/RunWait, if that's what run() uses internally.

thanks all for your answers...

it can be used to solve the problem...

but back to my first question... is it any way in ahk to reset/kill the current thread without exiting the application?...
i expect something similar with pause, but not like pause which is only freezing the thread, i would like to be able to kill that thread....

Yes, Exit, as Superfraggle mentioned.What you are asking is not to exit the current thread, but to exit the underlying thread. I believe that is currently not possible.

The answers given above are correct: Exit is the way that the current thread should terminate itself (or "return" if it's the final return of the thread). There is no way for the current thread to directly terminate any thread that lies suspended/interrupted beneath it. However, it may indirectly do so by signaling the other thread to terminate itself. For example, after the upper thread sets the signal (e.g. via global variable), it terminates itself (via return or exit), which allows the underlying thread to resume. Then the underlying thread sees that the global variable has changed (via a Loop containing the Sleep command) and exits/returns itself.

yes you are right... so now i know it's not possible... thanks...


I think this is a good way to do it...

thanks again guys...
