How to use "Stop processing this event"?

[IceGothic]

I tried many times at many places but I just dosen't change anything (

What does it work? What does it clearly do? Anyone got a sample xml so I can see it in action??

Thanx

Whenever an event occurs EventGhost processes your macros in a top-to-bottom order in your configuration tree. If you use the "Stop processing this event" action it will not run any more macros triggered by the event on that instance.

For example if you have the following macros on your configuration, all triggered by the same event:

Macro 1
Macro 2 (runs "Stop processing this event" action)
Macro 3

Macros 1 and 2 will be run, but Macro 3 wont. The stop processing this event will cause EG not to trigger any more macros by that event that time.

Isn't this the same as not having Macro 3? Why has "Stop processing this event" in the first place?

I suspect that are some nice trick that uses "Stop processing this event". I am not sure what is it.

Well It's mostly only useful when used with some condition. Like IF <program> is found running -> stop processing.. and so on.

That earlier one was just a quick example of what it does, it's probably not the best use scenario.

Maybe someone should post a working sample with comments for futur reference.
