Hi
I want to run an external script and wait for it 1 min. If it wont end continue the process. I cannot control the script content so I don't know how much time it will run.
Is there a command for that?
Thanks
Use a Run* or ShellExecute function to start your script in an external process. You can either call TimeDelay to suspend your main script for a specified time or create a loop structure that calls TimeDelay multiple times. If you choose the later approach, you use a call to AppExist or WinExist inside your loop to exit the loop and continue processing if your second process/script ends before the allotted maximum time.
Kind of:
;Thus DefineFunction may be used
#DefineFunction DoItToIt(MyDialogHandle,MyDialogMessage,MyDialogControlID,param4,param5)
InitDialog = 0
TimerTick = 1
Switch MyDialogMessage
Case InitDialog ; Init_Dialog (case number 0 subject to change on implementation)
DialogProcOptions(MyDialogHandle,TimerTick, 1000) ; enable 1 second timer events
Return (-1)
Case TimerTick
Clock=DialogControlGet(MyDialogHandle, 3, 4)
Clock=Clock-1
If Clock==0 Then Return(2) ; exit, buttonpushed==2
DialogControlSet(MyDialogHandle, 3, 4, Clock)
Return(-1)
EndSwitch ; MyDialogMessage
Return(-1) ; Do default processing
