What is the preferred key combo to break out of an Endless Loop in Sesame 2.0?

Try Ctrl+Shift+End.

Thank you.  I'll keep it handy.  (I had no loop today, but I was contemplating trying something weird, and the possibility existed that I might create one.)

I threw myself into an endless loop today, in Preview.  This did it when I went into search/update:
Code
Select All
On-Retrieve-Spec-Open

Var vNewSearch as Int

// Changes the colors and functions of the GO Button depending on the mode
// See also On-Form-Open

// Search Mode

IF @Mode() = 2
	{
	Label(GO_Button, "Get It!")
	RGBColor(GO_Button, 0, 0, 0, 179, 255, 255)    // Black text on light Blue
	vNewSearch = @SelectTreeItem("Search Menu!Search Commands!Retrieve New Results (F10)")
	}

I realized right away that the SelectTreeItem call should have been on-element-entry.  Yikes!

Unfortunately, Ctrl+Shift+End did not break me out; I had to kill the app with Task Manager.

Hello Scott,

That alone would not cause an endless loop. It would simply retrieve records as soon as you entered search mode. So if you hit F7, it would hit F10. But unless you had code on Form Entry that was selecting F7 that would not be an endless loop.

That's precisely what was happening, sorry, wrong code.  I programmed all 3 states at the same time.

I've put it all into on-element-enter now.
