Guys, I’m having trouble implementing a continuous beeping for hours until someone presses a key(eg: space) in order to stop that beeping. Is there any way to implement that kind of process?
I know how to send hot key and so on. But what I am trying to do is to stop the beeping when user presses a certain key from keyboard. How to connect beeping and input from user keyboard?
eg. beeping continuously at that time, take input from user. When user presses a key, I want that beeping to be stopped.
You can check if a continous execution of:
in combination with a key trigger event will serve your needs

could you provide an example workflow? I want to use keyboard trigger as you said. I have already tried implementing that. I have read documentation also. Somehow I don’t seem to get the expected result. Thanks for your reply.
and for beeping, I don’t use beep activity since that sound is not the one I want. So, I have written this code in invoke code activity.
Dim loopDuration As Integer = 10000 ’ 10 seconds in milliseconds
Dim startTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now
While (DateTime.Now - startTime).TotalMilliseconds < loopDuration
SoundFile.Play()
system.threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
End While
where SoundFile is an input argument of a sound.
So, just enlighten me how to integrate this with keyboard input from user.
break that loop as soon as the user presses a key.
done in newer versions ( with the help of @k.bauer )
kindly note: hotkey trigger - key is space, so it looks like empty in the screenshot

sorry for my late reply. Your answer worked perfectly when I added break after assign activity. Thanks for your solution. @ppr
