Functions, unlike macros, can run at the same time. Just assign specific window names in each function.

Question 1- Is it posible to activate or ishue an on order for 2 or more functions from within a macro they are part of or not part of, and make them run in a loop (doing something) while rest of the macro progresses and at some point down the line in the macro isues an order for them to stop execution?

Question 2- if question 1 is positive, and for example i have 3-4 functions running at the same time doing various checks on the sreen. If function ( for example No3), finds something it needs to react to. For it to give the order for restof the functions to pause while it does what it needs to do, and when done to give the order for the rest to continue where they were at the time of the pause order?

Thank's for your help, and if i need to clarify a thing or two just tell.

Yes, yes.
Is the main macro a dialog?
