Hello! :wave:

I´m writing a macro that have several steps and inform the user with a message on the status window on each step of the process.
If the macro is stopped with the ESC key or the STOP button, the movement stops but the macro still writing the messages on the status windows and keep running without movement.
My issue here is that every step of the macro it have a variable that is changing while its running so if the macro is stopped that variable will serve as a reference to tell the user where the macro was stopped.

I have the

if(!exec.Ismacrostopped())

but the ELSE statement only run after the whole macro finish running and give the message that the macro was stopped but only after all the routines went thru.

It isn't suppose that if you stop a macro it will go to the if(!exec.Ismacrostopped()) directly???

I´m running the macro from a button BTW.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

C# do ordinal code execution just like most other programming languages.
I think you don't fully understand how to code in C#, but maybe we can help if you post your code and describe the issue a bit more detailed.

I do understand how C# works, what I don´t understand is why when i press stop or the esc key the macro only stops the axis movements but the macro is still running all the way thru the end instead of just stopping.

All the macro runs fine, all the routines and variables (its very extensive) my only problem is that the macro wont stop.

ESC will stop all movement but macro will continue...Try

if(exec.Ismacrostopped()){return;}

else{MessageBox.Show("????");}

I found someone with a similar issue as me and here are some possible solutions in case anyone needs them

Thank you!!!

if(exec.Ismacrostopped()){return;}

else{MessageBox.Show("????");}

Yep I´m using that solution now Thank you Dan911 , lots of IFs on the code until they fix the Stop issue. =)

There really wasn't a fix issue, a macro is a thread and shouldn't be canceled while running. That's why the functions ismacrostopped and ismacrorunning was added.
