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.).

Syntax

Waiting for the end of the thread execution (use thread name) Hide the details

<Result> = ThreadWait(<Thread name> [, <Maximum timeout>])
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the thread was stopped or if the thread does not exist,
  • False if the thread is not stopped (the maximum duration is exceeded).
<Thread name>: Character string
Name of thread that must reach the end of its execution. This name is given when running the thread (ThreadExecute).
<Maximum timeout>: Optional integer, optional duration or optional constant
Maximum timeout in hundredths of a second.
  • If the thread is not stopped at the end of specified duration, <Result> is set to False.
  • If this parameter is not specified or corresponds to the Infinite constant, the wait is infinite.
This parameter can be:
  • an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second,
  • a Duration variable,
  • the duration in a readable format (e.g., 1 s or 10 ms).
