 Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:23 pm Post subject: Help with Break command |
 |
|
Hello I want to interuppt the loop of my script based on a key command.
So lets say if I press "P" it pauses the loop, if I press "P" again it continues
looping.
The whole Program looks like this:
| Code: | #NoEnv
F4::
MsgBox, 1,, Start VideoControl (Cancel to stop)
IfMsgBox OK
MsgBox Launching VideoControl Monitoring
run iexplore
Sleep, 10000
Send, username{TAB}
Send, password{ENTER} ; Auto Login Sequence
Sleep, 6000
Click 63, 240
Sleep, 60000 ; Thumbview actualizing time
loop
{
Sleep, 60000
Click 855, 955
Sleep, 60000
Click 825, 955
} |
The last part, the loop is looping 24/7 except if I need to make a config change on that PC or Site, so I really would like a pause/play function.
could you guys give me some hints in how this would go best?
Thank you all for your time for reading and helping me  |

P.S: I thought at something like this
| Code: | loop
{
if {P}
break
Click
Sleep, 5000
Click
Sleep, 5000
} |

Look at this:
| Code: | Loop,
{
ToolTip, % "Key State is " keyState := GetKeyState("P", "")
If keyState = 1
{
ToolTip
Break
}
} |
This will stop the loop if P is pressed.
Here it is adapted:
| Code: |
Loop,
{
Click
Sleep, 5000
Click
Sleep, 5000
If keyState := GetKeyState("P", "")
Break
}
Return |

TLM, your code doesn't really work.
Here's a working (tested) approach:
| Code: | Loop
{
Click
If KeyWasPressed("P",5000)
Break ; or Return
}
Return
KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
start := A_TickCount
Loop
{
If GetKeyState(key)
return 1 ; true (key was pressed)
If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
return 0 ; false (timed out)
}
} |

 Yea I kinda figured the sleep would get in the way after the fact.
I should have added a key state condition as a workaround.
On a side not, I try to never use sleep .

First of all thank you guys for your time
@MasterFocus, I tried to implement your code but it seems like I horribly
fail at this. My pc shutted down 3 times now. Could you please give me a
hint in where to put my loop in your code?
| Code: | loop
{
Sleep, 60000
Click 855, 955
Sleep, 60000
Click 825, 955
} |

You would have to use
Click 855, 955 instead of Click
and 60000 instead of 5000.
| Code: | Loop ; this is the loop you want
{
Click ; add/change coordinates as desired
; the following line calls the function I created, which
; will act like "Sleep, 5000" and break the loop if "P"
; is pressed - you may change the values as desired
If KeyWasPressed("P",5000)
Break
}
Return
;-----------------------------------------------
; add the following function to the bottom of your script
; so it can be called from inside that loop
KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
start := A_TickCount
Loop
{
If GetKeyState(key)
return 1 ; true (key was pressed)
If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
return 0 ; false (timed out)
}
} |

Ok it seems much clearer now, at least the first part of your code 
I tested it now and it interuppts the loop, unfortunately it closes the script
too at the moment which is surely because I didnt understand something
with the 2nd part.
So actually I have this input:
| Code: | Loop
{
Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
If KeyWasPressed("P",10000)
Break
Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
If KeyWasPressed("P",10000)
Break
}
Return
KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
start := A_TickCount
Loop
{
If GetKeyState(key)
return 1 ; true (key was pressed)
If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
return 0 ; false (timed out)
}
}
|
Do I have to input data in those (key) (key was pressed) etc. fields?
(I tried to input data in here but I think I dit not gave the correct paramaters) |

As I understood, you would like the loop to pause, not break, right?
Try this:
| Code: | Loop
{
Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
Sleep, 10000
SleepKey(pause)
Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
Sleep, 10000
SleepKey(pause)
}
Return
~p::pause := !pause
SleepKey(ByRef pause){
While % (pause){
Sleep, 100
}
} |

| A function receiving the variable ByRef (so the global variable -pause- is used) wrote: | | SleepKey(ByRef pause) |
| As long as pause = true (so not 0 or empty) -Wait for variable to change- wrote: | While % (pause){
Sleep, 100
... |
Hope it helps

| Code: | Loop
{
Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
Sleep, 10000
SleepKey(pause)
Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
Sleep, 10000
SleepKey(pause)
}
Return
~p::pause := !pause
SleepKey(ByRef pause){ |
Now I wanted to go further and implement a blinkling like tooltip that
starts when P gets pressed and stops when it gets pressed again.
The problem is inside this loop it confuses me...
I tried something like this:
| Code: | If GetKeyState("P" [, "P"])
Loop
{
ToolTip, Monitoring Currently Paused!
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 2000
}
Else
Return |
But I'm not sure if thats the right direction, could need some support again  |
