<AutomaticEvent variable>.Wait (Function)

In french: <Variable SignalAutomatique>.Attend

Locks the current thread while waiting for the specified event to be opened.

Example

// Création d'un signal
Signal_Allezy is AutomaticEvent(eventClose)
// Exécution d'un premier thread
ThreadExecute("Thread1", threadNormal, "Thread_Premier")
// Bloque le thread en cours jusqu'à l'obtention du signal
ThreadWaitSignal()

// Exécution d'un second thread
ThreadExecute("Thread2", threadNormal, "Thread_Second")
// Bloque le thread en cours jusqu'à l'obtention du signal
ThreadWaitSignal()

// Ouvre le signal pour exécuter les threads
Signal_Allezy.Ouvre()

PROCEDURE Thread_Premier()
Trace(dbgInfo(dbgProcess) + " - ThreadEnvoieSignal(threadPrincipal)")
ThreadSendSignal(threadMain)
Signal_Allezy.Attend()
Trace(dbgInfo(dbgProcess) + " - Signal reçu")

PROCEDURE Thread_Second()
Trace(dbgInfo(dbgProcess) + " - ThreadEnvoieSignal(threadPrincipal)")
ThreadSendSignal(threadMain)
Signal_Allezy.Attend()
Trace(dbgInfo(dbgProcess) + " - Signal reçu")

Syntax

<Result> = <Event>.Wait([<Maximum duration>])

<Result>: Integer

1 if the event was received by the thread,
0 otherwise (maximum duration exceeded).

<Event>: AutomaticEvent variable

Name of the AutomaticEvent variable that corresponds to the event to wait for.

<Maximum duration>: Optional integer or optional Duration

Maximum timeout in hundredths of a second.
If no signal was received by the thread before the end of specified duration, <Result> is equal to False.
The timeout is endless if this parameter is not specified.
If this parameter is set to 0, <Result> corresponds to the status of the event, without waiting.
This parameter can correspond to:
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).

Remarks

You can end the execution of a thread even if it is locked in an endless wait for an event. Simply use ThreadStop.
