Title: Way to cancel a running macro?
Post by: hilgerdenaar on June 21, 2006, 07:33:12 PM

Hi,

Macros can have delays, and so can execute over an extended time.  Is there any way to cancel a macro while it is running?

For example, I have mine set to increase the brightness of a light by 10% every 2 minutes, so that it gradually gets brighter over 20 minutes.  Suppose, after 5 minutes, I want to stop it.  How can I do that?

Thanks

There are a couple of items under the Help menu which _may_ accomplish what you want, i.e., the Halt or Clear delay/Halt.   (I haven't tried them and there's no info about them in the help file).

I am not at my home computer right now, so I can't check this, but I believe there is an option, in AHP, under the tools dropdown menu to purge running macros.
