VB and the development of wizards / Re: Distinguish between pause caused by stop button and actual stop in mach3 macro

Machine stops immediatelly and possibly with loss of position. Buffer is flushed and all caned cycles are erset, and some more.
If you want to "pause" the motion you shoul use Feed Hold and after pressing Cucle Start program will continue from where it was paused. Motion will not stop imediatelly, lookahead buffer will first be emptied, so a couple of lines of code could be executed.
So the process of "pausing" the program is Feed Hold followed by Stop and to resume Cycle Start
