HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
    ; add in your stuff
WEnd

Func _Exit ()
    Exit
EndFunc

Oh boy this is an old post. Anyway, you should probably move that HotKeySet outside of the while loop. I assume you've a _Exit function defined somewhere?

Could you please STOP posting your problem at multiple places where it even doesn't belong at all!
I assume you are in a rush or something be we are not and hate to have to clean up for your impatience.

What does that mean?  you run this code and Esc does stop it and it keeps running?

It means he didn’t put his code inside the loop And just ran that piece of code

Works for me.  Post your full script.

Provide steps to reproduce.

 

I can reproduce with something like this:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
    MsgBox(1,1,1)
WEnd

Func _Exit ()
    Exit
EndFunc

 

The Exit still occurs, but not until the msgbox is closed.

Clicked ESC? Or did you mean pushed?

Which program are you running in the foreground that could snoop this key press? ... And as stated: post your none working code when you want help.

Jos

[IcantCodeHelp]

here's the script 

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
WinActivate("Untitled")
send("-work")
send("{Enter}")
send("-dep all")
send("{Enter}")
sleep("120000")
send("-work")
send("{Enter}")
send("-dep all")
send("{Enter}")
sleep("120000")
WEnd

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc?

[Jos]

... and the answer to my other question is???

PS: The script works fine with Notepad providing it is a empty unchanged file.  So provide sufficient info when you want help please.

im not so good at this i just made the code in note pad than ran it

 

[IcantCodeHelp]

i clicked Esc

[Jos]

Again: Your posted script works fine with notepad and stops when you press Esc.

Open SciTE, which came with the AutoIt3 installer, Open the script it that. Start Notepad and press F5 (Run) in SciTE so the script starts. Then press Esc and you will see the script ends.
