go to layout pause - cancel

[Himitsu]

I have trying to set a script that when the user is sent to a layout and it is set to pause, and the user wants to cancel, he/she will be sent back to another layout. I set a script with an "if"

if

get (lasterror)=1

go to layout

else

print

end if

I must have some order wrong. Any help would be great. Thanks

I believe 'user canceled action' refers to clicking cancel on dialog boxes. It is better to use Allow User Abort [Off] in your script, so that no cancel button is available on the Status Area, and add a Cancel button, attached to a different script, to your layout instead.

But if I set go to layout to pause, would the button still work on the layout? I will give it a try.

I tried that, and the button won't work. I set the script for the button to exit script and go to layout.... maybe it is exiting it's own script...

Himitsu:

Your button's script is exiting itself. You should set it to go to layout first, then use Halt Script, which kills all running scripts.

In the button dialog box there is a choice of what to do with current script. The default value is Pause. You can Halt, Exit or Resume in addition to Pause. It is in the lower left of the Options box.
