How to pause a program?

[Franz135]

 

Hello everyone,

I want the program to run when I press the down key, to pause, when I press the up key and to exit, when I press the end key. But I only could manange that the program starts with the up key. What am I doing wrong?

 

HotKeySet ( "{DOWN}","_start" )
HotKeySet ( "{UP}","_pause" )
HotKeySet ( "{END}","_exit" )

Global $go = 0


While(1)
    If($go) Then
        MouseClick("left",912,271,1,1)
        Sleep(20000)
        MouseClick("left",912,718,1,1)
        $go=0
    Else
        Sleep(1)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _start()
    $go = 1
EndFunc
Func _pause()
    $go = 0
EndFunc
Func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Remove this from inside your While loop.

use  while _IsPressed

If you want the loop to run forever, then follow @Danp2's suggestion.  If you only want it to run once per down key press, nothing else about your logic is jumping out at me--works as is.  

What program are you automating?  There may be a more reliable automation method than performing mouse clicks (i.e. interacting with the control directly).
