changing component Select another component (IDE -> text document or vice versa), press CTRL-SHIFT-Q and the macro will stop. If you have only one frame open, you have to take care, that such a loop has an "exit Do" (don't use while wend). The normal user shouldn't have possibilities to break running macros with shortcuts. This works ! even with msgbox Sub Main a=1 while a<1000000 msgbox a wend print a End Sub whan has this been introduced ? StarOffice 4.0 ? ;) Andreas must know it. I think that the shortcut should be set on CTRL+BREAK (like in others products). Should I create a new issue ? The Issue you raised has been marked as 'Resolved' and not updated within the last 1 year+. I am therefore setting this issue to 'Verified' as the first step towards Closing it. If you feel this is incorrect, please re-open the issue and add any comments. Many thanks, Andrew Cleaning-up and Closing old Issues ~ The Grand Bug Squash, pre v3 ~ http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/announcementbeta.html As per previous posting: Verified -> Closed. A Closed Issue is a Happy Issue (TM). Regards, Andrew |
In the Basic IDE, in some cases, there is no way to stop a macro in an infinite loop except by killing the whole soffice. For example, have a look at the following code : while fileProcessed <> "" msgBox fileProcessed wend This is an infinite loop where a message box is displayed in each iteration. When executing this code, each loop will display a message Box which is modal. That means that you can't click on the stop button in the IDE. The only choice you have is to click on the "Ok" button from the msgBox, which will display a new msgBox... Currently, the only choice we have is to kill OpenOffice.org (or close the document containing the macro if you can). This may be quite annoying, because you have to re-open everything. This is somehow related to an issue Laurent (Lgodard) posted some years ago : Issue 24895
