Loop Forever until SHIFT Key Pressed
Keywords: IsKeyDown
Question:
How do I implement a 'Do forever" loop with a "Press Any Key to Quit" exit?Answer:
Well, we cannot do "press any key" but how about a SHIFT key?
count=0
BoxOpen("Hello - Press Shift to exit",count)
while 1
count=count+1
TimeDelay(1)
BoxText(count)
if IsKeyDown(@SHIFT) then break
endwhile
Message("Do Forever exited at",count)
