How to break out of loop immediately upon GUI button press? Topic is solved

[Cuadrix]

Just like the subject title says. I have a simple GUI with 2 buttons, Start and Stop. When I press the Start button, the loop will begin. When i press the Stop Button, it should immediately break out of the loop, and not wait till the current iteration is over or wait till it meets the Break command.

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button, x50 y50 w50 h20 gStart, Start
Gui, Add, Button, x+15 y50 w50 h20 gSTop, Stop
Gui, Show,w200 h100, Gui
Return

Start:
Loop, 6
{
	MsgBox, One
	Sleep, 1500
	MsgBox, Two
	Sleep, 1500
	MsgBox, Three
	Sleep, 1500
	MsgBox, Four
	Sleep, 1500
	MsgBox, Five
	Sleep, 1500
	MsgBox, Six
	Sleep, 1500
}
Return

Stop:
	;Something to stop the loop in Start label here?
Return

If there is anyway to forcibly break out of the loop, I would be delighted to hear about it.

If there is nothing else in the code, perhaps Reload would do the trick?

Not really. The goal is to make the script not reload, if possible.
The closest I have come to what I am asking for is this, but it doesn't look very nice, and it takes up more time with those added If and else checks:

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button, x50 y50 w50 h20 gStart, Start
Gui, Add, Button, x+15 y50 w50 h20 gSTop, Stop
Gui, Show,w200 h100, Gui
Return

Start:
var = 1
If(var = 1)
{
Loop, 6
	{
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, One
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, Two
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, Three
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, Four
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, Five
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		MsgBox, Six
		Else Break
		If(var = 1)
		Sleep, 1500
		Else Break
	}
}
Return

Stop:
var = 0
Return

i can't think of any other way than by checking for the variable as you've demonstrated. its not elegant at all. but this is obviously not a real world usecase, so perhaps you can restructure your real code differently to achieve the same outcome
