Message when user aborts

[Revuelta]

I want to know whether it is possible -and how- to show a message box when the user aborts a script clicking on the ESC key on Windows or using the equivalent combination on MacOS. The sequence should be the following:

1) The user aborts the script.

2) The message box appears.

Thanks in advance for your help and happy new year.

You could just use "Allow user abort [off]" at the to of your scripts

This is probably the best practice

You could then assign a modkey for aborting like "shift" and test for it in a loop this will give you more control.

Could you be more specific? I have been reading about "Allow user abort [off]" and I cannot see how to follow.

Thanks once more.
