Terminate Execution from Pop up message button

[toyan]

Hi,

I would like to ask..how to terminate an execution from a pop up mesage button.

There is a select statement and on it there are 2 buttons.

press Ok to continue

press Terminate to terminate.

but i cannot use RunState.Execution.Terminate in the expression of Terminate button.

I tried to make the "Terminate Execution" on the Post Action but it did not work. It still proceed the steps on the MainSequence.

please help.

Thank you.

What does that sentence tell us?

You can enter a post-expression in your message popup step similar to this:

Step.Result.ButtonHit==2?RunState.Execution.Terminate():False

Hi Norbert,

I tried that you suggested earlier but no luck.

so I use ActiveX to use the TerminateAll API and it works. 

thank you 🙂

Just in case anyone else runs across this, you can use this post expression to get Button 2 to terminate the sequence:

Step.Result.ButtonHit==2?RunState.Execution.Terminate():0

It won't work if you have Step.Result.ButtonHit==2?RunState.Execution.Terminate():False as in Norbert's example above because Terminate() returns a numeric and False is a Boolean.  You'll get a runtime type conflict error.
