How to create a Pause / Resume button

[rocklin]

Hi,

I'm new to Macro Scheduler, and I'm trying to figure out how to create a "resume" button that will pause my macro when it appears, then resume the macro when I click on it.

Or, if that's not possible, just a pause button that will pause/ resume the macro when clicked.

TIA for any help.

Use a dialog and then the command show. If you add a return variable to the show command it will make the dialog "modal" which is what you want.

Also a simple MessageModal will do that too. It'll pause the script until you click OK :

Code: Select all

MessageModal>I'm waiting until you click OK

You can even ask a YES/NO question to ask if you want to continue :

Code: Select all

//Ask the question
Ask>Do you wish to continue?,Continue

//Exit if the answer is no
If>Continue=NO
  exit
Endif

//Continue here if the answer wasn't no.
messagemodal>hello, I'm still running

"MessageModal>I'm waiting until you click OK" is the simplest choice for me.

I've got 3 different macro programs running at the same time (Macro Scheduler, TypeItIn and DisplayFusion) and they make my time on the computer a lot easier.

Thanks to Grovkillen and Dorian for your help.
