Waiting without messages means that the interface will stay frozen until the entire handler has finished, meaning that people can't click on 'Cancel' buttons etc. Ian ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Stopping a Process
If you don't use 'with messages' the wait command will halt the current handler and any messaging activity, such as a user click. The 'with messages' allows other messages to be sent and received, such as waiting for a web server to send more data, or an ftp download to keep working while the user does other activities.

Stopping a Process
I have a routine that is looping through and opening a series of text files using a Repeat Loop. I know I can do a Command . to stop this, but what if I wanted to let the end user stop the process? How would I code this?

Stewart Another way, if you want ot have a 'stop' button, for instance, is to have a script local variable that you set from a button : in the stack or card script that runs the loop: local sStopLoop = false on someFunction repeat until jobDone if sStopLoop then exit repeat doStuff... wait 0 millisecs with messages -- need this to allow rev to respond to button clicks end repeat cleanUpStuff... end someFunction on stopLoop put true into sStopLoop end stopLoop Then in the stop button script: on mouseUp stopLoop end mouseUp Best, Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

If I have a long running process that I might want to halt, I sprinkle if optionkey is down then exit repeat end if inside all my loops and if it goes off into the weeds and looks like it will complete sometime next year, I press the option key and eventually it halts. :-) I've been know to use my stapler to hold down the optionkey for me on really long running processes Kee or the synonym altKey Jim Ault Las Vegas ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution - I check email roughly 2 to 3 times per business day.
