continue a script after pressing a button

[question1234]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way, to hold a script for a time while I want to work on Diadem. The script should continue after I put new data into Diadem. I thought about letting the script dont do anything until I press a key on my keyboard, but I dont know if there is such an option in Diadem?

any ideas are appreciated

thanks

Hello question1234,

You have several options for this:

call Pause(10)
waiting for 10 seconds

call KeyWait   
stops until a key is pressed

call InterActionOn("My Text")
interrupts a script (you can work in DIAdem - until a button is pressed

call MsgBoxDisp
throws a message box - several parameter for configuration

Greetings

Walter

Hi question,

If you really want your script to "go to sleep" while you load another data set, then "wake up" the script and have it continue from where it left off, then I'd recommend the InteractionON() function from Walter's list.

If you want the script to start anew from its first line after loading another data set, then you should make an easy way to restart the script, such as an <F1> button or a new custom icon or a custom menu.
