Procedure in the while loop

JuriV
JuriV over 2 years ago

Hi everybody,

I want to execute a procedure until the Escape key will be pressed.

Example:

continue = t
while( continue

        ....execute procedure

if (cancel or escape) then
continue = nil

);end while

How could I Do that?

Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you know how is possible to change the CHECKBOX in the FORM during the while loop?
    Like in your Example, I put in the STOPDRAG section:

    procedure "Do something 1" if CHECKBOX in the FORM is checked

    procedure "Do something 2" if CHECKBOX in the FORM is NOT checked

    In my code this not works. I have to interrupt (e.g. with axlCancelOn()) the WHILE loop to check/or uncheck the CHECKBOX. Do you know if this works without  interruption?

    Thanks
    JuriV
