[Wish List] ExitThreads Command Topic is solved

[Guest6637377373]

"ExitThreads" Command that forces any running threads from a given label, hotkey, etc to Exit

ExitThreads, Label, Generate

ExitThreads, Hotkey, F12

[HotKeyIt]

You can use AutoHotkey.dll if you want to exit running threads, therefore the code needs to be run by AutoHotkey.dll.

Code: Select all

thread:=AhkThread("Loop`nToolTip `% A_Now`nReturn")
#Esc::thread.ahkterminate()
Esc::ExitApp

In AHK_H v2 you can also run/terminate a thread without AutoHotkey.dll:

Code: Select all

thread:=ExeThread("Loop`nToolTip `% A_Now`nReturn")
#Esc::thread.ahkterminate()
Esc::ExitApp

Is the example below possible?

Code: Select all

F12::

F12HotkeyThread.ahkterminate()

F12HotkeyCode =
(
line 1
line 2
line 3
...
line 1000
)

F12HotkeyThread:=AhkThread(F12HotkeyCode)

return

What is the best way to use "AutoHotkey.dll" with AHK_L?

[HotKeyIt]

Code: Select all

F12HotkeyCode =

F12::F12HotkeyThread?F12HotkeyThread.ahkReload():F12HotkeyThread:=AhkThread(F12HotkeyCode)

DllCall, see AutoHotkey Module.
Note that in v1 third parameter is for Commandline Parameters and second will be passed to script in A_ScriptOptions (see included help file in v1 download).
