Chip,

The next version of Window-Eyes post 7.1 will be much more forceful about shutting down scripts that are stuck. In the meantime, you need some sort of condition that will cause your loop to return after a specific time has passed. Right now, If a script is stuck in a loop, Window-Eyes will not be able to shut it down without restarting scripting (maybe even restarting Window-Eyes).

Hi all,

I have a script, which has a handler for onQuit and onShutdown.  in these
handlers, at the very end, is even a stopScript command.

in my script initialization I have a loop waiting on the application to
reach a specific operating state where the script is designed to function.
this happens after onQuit and onShutdown are setup.

In these loops I have sleep commands and doEvents commands.

even with all this, the script cannot be disabled or stopped, via the script
manager, if it's locked in the initialization loop because the application
it's associated with is having some unusual difficulty.

so, what else can I possibly do to allow the script manager to stop the
script?

thanks.

Chip
