OnEvent Time/Date Release (Implemented 03/14/2014)

[JRL]

It would be nice if there was a way to turn off or preferably reset OnEvent>Time and OnEvent Date. As far as I can tell they both continuously call the defined subroutine until the minute or the day has passed.

I've tried providing a new date or time parameter. And I've tried using nothing as a parameter and neither seems to defeat the original setting. I don't know what else to try.

Code: Select all

Hour>hh
Min>mn

Day>dd
Month>mm
Year>ccyy

//OnEvent>Time,%hh%%mn%,,mess
OnEvent>Date,%ccyy%%mm%%dd%,,mess

Label>Loop
  Wait>0.01
Goto>Loop

SRT>mess
  OnEvent>Date,,,mess
  MDL>
END>mess

I know this is a VERY OLD post but in case someone is looking or as a beginner. I don't understand his question but here is my reply (it could be way wrong)

// Enable Event - VK_ESCAPE (27) [ESC] key
OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK27,0,Done
Label>Start
' many code lines here
Exit>

Label>Reset
//Disable the event handler by leaving off the last parameter
OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK_ESCAPE,0,
//Then add in a new OnEvent if needed
GoTo Start

Please correct me if needed

Version 14.2 03/11/2014
- Added: Ability to cancel OnEvent within event sub (specify full line minus subroutine name)

Enhancement suggestions will work. This one only took a month to implement. Took me 9.2 years to say thank you.

Thank you OldGeel for pointing it out.
