Stop the infinite loop.

upasanisandip · 2006-12-20

Hi all,
I have given 1 message box in loop.
But it is infinite. I want to stop that .
Like we use Ctrl + Pause in other languages.

Is there anything like that in Navision?

Thanks,
Sandip.

No there isn't. You have to close the application (try using Task Manager).

An tip. Don't use messageboxes (for example for debugging) Use confirm.
Here you have the chance to stop your application code

or simply add integer counter to test message boxes...

IF intcount >1000 THEN EXIT;

Ofcourse, where applicable.

push ESC key continuosly.

Finaly, the process stops

you could also program a status window using a dialog type variable, which gives you a cancel button by default.

bad idea... ](*,)
in this case, you should click ok button "only" 1000 times....
but hey... that number could be smaller, eg. 40.

LOL that reminds me of a go-live weekend. We had written a dataport that automatically posted, but there was a confirm message for every line that had to be clicked away. Instead of commenting out the message (there was other stuff going on at the same time and we didn't want to lose the message) we came up with a 'data migration tool' in the form of a wrench socket that was placed on the 'Y' key. It wasn't so easy to find the right one, as the small ones were to light and the bigger ones were too big for the key. We had to use a certain person's laptop to make it work, that was the only one whose key was loose enough for the weight of the socket.

For those of you who don't understand what a socket is click here

Daniel, this is one from the best stories from NAV world for me...

hardware solution for software problem... many users are solving the problems of confirmations in same way. (it reminds me one episode from The Simpsons ;-)

Great Solution
