sorry to hear about your surgery. Because of work I usually just get to work
on scripts on my day off after getting my house cleaning done. so I don't
get to it too often. I think I figured out how to get the reading to stop
when it gets to the end of the book. I used the global variable you
suggested for the new function which is called in the scheduled function.
I will try this suggestion to see what it does.
Thanks,
Dean

| Hi Dean:
| I have been meaning to get back to you on this. I was off work the
| last few weeks having surgery. I am only now dealing with the backlog
| of email.
|
| try adding the following near the top of your TopOfText function.
| before you position cursor and do sayline etc.
|
| Let iKeyWasPressed = IsKeyWaiting () ; set variable to true if a key
| was
| pressed.
| if iKeyWasPressed then
| return ; get out before starting process and while loop
| endif

| I have written a set of scripts and functions to read text continuously
| in a
| Bible software program. It reads to the end of the screen then moves to
| the
| next screen and reads from there. I got it to stop reading when i hit
| the
| control button but then I noticed that the ScheduledFunction stil goes
| on at
| the time alotted. so I am reading and stop the reading. After the
| allotted
| time I hear the ScheduledFunction start and run. Here is the function
| where
| I call the ScheduledFunction:
|
| Void Function TopOfText ()
|
| VAR
|
| string LastLine,
|
| Int iKeyWasPressed, ;use this to terminate the while loop.
|
| string sScheme,
|
| string sScheme1,
|
| string sScheme2
|
| InvisibleCursor ()
|
| Let LastLine = GetLine (); saves first line
|
| SayLine ();speaks first line
|
| JAWSHome ()
|
| NextLine ();scrols to next line
|
| Pause ()
|
| Let CurrentLine = GetLine ();saves new line
|
| While (CurrentLine != LastLine && iKeyWasPressed ==0);speak if two
| adjacentlines are dissimilar or if a key was pressed
|
| Let iKeyWasPressed = IsKeyWaiting () ; set variable to true if a key
| was
| pressed.
|
| If iKeyWasPressed then
|
| Return
|
| ElIf iKeyWasPressed ==0 then
|
| SayLine ()
|
| Let LastLine = CurrentLine; sets up for new comparison
|
| NextLine ();scrolls down one line
|
| Let CurrentLine = GetLine (); saves the new line
|
| EndIf
|
| EndWhile;loop until the two lines are the same
|
| If iKeyWasPressed then
|
| Let sScheme = GetCurrentSchemeName ();scheme set for sounds which is to
| be
| turned off for this script
|
| If GetCurrentSchemeName () != "LDLS" then
|
| Let sScheme1 = sScheme
|
| Let sScheme2 = sScheme
|
| Else
|
| Let sScheme1 = "Classic"
|
| Let sScheme2 = "LDLS"
|
| EndIf
|
| Let g_ChapterAndVerseToggle = 0;mutes speaking of the chapter and
| verse
|
| SwitchToScheme (sScheme1);switches to the classic scheme if in LDLS
| scheme
|
| Return
|
| Else
|
| PCCursor ()
|
| TypeKey ("spacebar");new keystroke in Libronix 3c to go to next screen
|
| scheduleFunction ("PositionForNextRead", 200)
|
| EndIf
|
| EndFunction
|
|
|
| How can I keep the ScheduledFunction from running when I want to stop
| reading?
|
|
|
| Thanks,
|
