Break signal to cancel script

[fhammer]

When one of my scripts gets into a undesired loop, I use a Break signal to cancel execution. However, the process for sending a Break signal differs from keyboard to keyboard. I would like to add an item to my PopMenu to do that, so that I don't have to remember the keyboard-specific procedures.

I vaguely-recall seeing a "Send a Break Signal" function in WIL, but now I can't find it.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Perhaps you are referring to sending a ctrl+break key sequence using either SendKey or SendKeysTo?  If so, more details about these functions can be found in the Consolidated WIL Help file.

You may also want to consider the TerminateApp function.  It has a flag parameter, value 0, specifically designed to aid terminating a WinBatch script.  Again check out the Consolidated WIL help file for details.

Thanks TD. SendKey("{CANCEL}") did the trick.

"{CANCEL}" is just another way to send the Control+Break key combination.
