Keep the script open until we close the notification

Post by partof » 12 Dec 2020, 08:25

I'm struggling with this script. The notification only flashes for 1/2 second. It should remain open until I click on the close button (and the script should end). (I want to avoid a "sleep 10000000")

Code: Select all

#Persistent
Splashimage, ,M2 cwolive, test

ButtonCancel:
ExitApp
return
Any idea?

The initial script fails because, without Return, the script continues to the next command, so the script simply exits due to ExitApp.

In the next revision, the first hotkey label also functions as a Return for the preceding block.

The Return following ExitApp is never executed.

It makes sense! But how to solve this issue?

When the Return is missing, the solution is to add it. :)

Code: Select all

#Persistent
Splashimage,, M2 cwolive, test
Return

ButtonCancel:
ExitApp
Of course, this script actually has no button, so you can simply use:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
Splashimage,, M2 cwolive, test

It sound logical, but it doesn't work (closing the window doesn't kill the script)
