Onevent>Key_Down Problem

[guyash2]

Hi,
I try to write a script which jump to the SRT each time I press ENTER.
When trying this script:

Code: Select all

Onevent>Key_Down,VK13,0,message

label>loop
goto>loop

SRT>message
  message>message
END>message

Everything works fine and each time I press ENTER I get the message.

But, when I try this script:

Code: Select all

Onevent>Key_Down,VK13,0,message

label>loop
goto>loop

label>guy
//do something
goto>loop

SRT>message
  message>message
  goto>guy
END>message

It works only on my first press, and then it doesn't respond to my presses. (eventhough the log file shows that I'm always in the loop)

How can I fix it?

Thank you.

You can't exit out of a subroutine and not let the subroutine complete. OnEvent won't fire again until the subroutine finishes so you only get one good key press. Try to use a variable flag, something like this

Code: Select all

Onevent>Key_Down,VK13,0,message

Let>messageflag=0

label>loop
  If>messageflag=1
    goto>guy
  EndIf
goto>loop

label>guy
  Let>messageflag=0
  //do something
goto>loop

SRT>message
  message>message
  Let>messageflag=1
END>message
