A Couple of TimeWait Examples
Keywords: timewait
Here are a few examples of using TimeWait for various purposes.
Note that you can also just do a:
TimeWait("0000:00:00:05:30:00")
and not have to do the date calculations when using the TimeWait function.
In the first example below, we wait for 1:22 p.m., and display a message box.
Note: the TimeAdd line below could be written as:
timeout=TimeAdd(TimeYmdHms(),"0000:00:00:13:22:00") ; 13 hrs, 22 minutes from now
Example #1:
a=TimeYmdHms() ;;Get the current date and time
;;parse the date out
Year=Itemextract(1, a, ":")
Month=ItemExtract(2, a, ":")
Day=ItemExtract(3, a, ":")
;;concantenate the parts back together adding empty time fields at the end.
a=strcat(year, ":", month, ":", day, ":", "00:00:00")
b=TimeAdd(a,"0000:00:00:13:22:00") ; Add your specified time in
TimeWait(b) ; Waits for that time to occur
Display(3, "The time should now be", b)
Example #2:
Here we wait the number of seconds you specify before we launching the Clock:
filename = "clock.exe"
now=TimeYmdHms()
days = 00
mins = 00
hours = 00
secs = AskLine("Title","enter a number of seconds to wait before running clock.exe",10)
runtime=TimeAdd(now,"0000:00:%days%:%hours%:%mins%:%secs%")
TimeWait(runtime) ; wait for time to elapse
success = Run(filename,"") ; run it
If success == 1
WinPlace(87,56,425,543,`Clock`)
success = "Clock Ran!!"
Else
success = "Sorry, Clock wasn't able to run"
End If
Message("Title",success)
