Resuming scripts

[dbanbury]

Hi, is it possible to resume a paused script from another script? At the moment I have a script that opens a new window related to postal information and then pauses. I presume pausing the script is the only way of locking the first window indefinitely, is that right?

I now want to be able to work in the new window without being able to enter to first window. I want to be able to click a button to set a global variable and then resume the script that opened the window (to close it).

I'm sure this has got to be straightforward but at the moment I'm ending up with lots of hanging script ends. Any help much appreciated.

You do this in the button definition.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I know there is a button definition to continue a paused script, but this doesn't achieve that I want. I need the button to do two things - set a variable and then resume the paused script. I presume I have to therefore use the button to call a script to set the variable, but then how do I have that script resume the already paused script? Best wishes, dave.

In the button definition, set it to Perform Script [your second script] AND to resume current script.

HI, thanks for the reply. Are you sure you cn do this in FM Pro 8? I cannot see any way of makign a button do more than one thing. It only lets me select one action. Aghhhhh!
