<Thread variable>.Wait (Function)

In french: <Variable Thread>.Attend

Waits for the end of the execution of the specified thread. A maximum timeout can be specified.

Reminder: A thread is a process run in parallel with the current application (main thread). This allows you to run a task in the background (e.g. backup, etc.).

Example

// Build a thread
t is Thread(Proc, ("First parameter", 2))
// Trigger the execution of the thread
ThreadExecute(t)
...
t.Wait(300)
