InfoWithTimeoutAsynchronous (Function)

In french: InfoAvecDélaiAsynchrone

Displays a custom message in a non-blocking system information window for a given amount of time. After the timeout, the system window is automatically closed.

Remarks:

This is a non-blocking error window. The WLanguage code that follows the call to InfoWithTimeoutAsynchronous continues to run. To close the window, the user must validate the OK button or wait for the end of the timeout. When the user clicks "OK", the code of a WLanguage procedure can be run.
To use this function, you must integrate a custom dialog box into your project. See Customizing dialog boxes for more details.
In the WLanguage code following the call to the function, another modal window cannot be opened before closing the dialog box.
WINDEV allows you to apply the skin template of your project to this dialog box. See Customizing dialog boxes for more details.

Example

// Displays an information window that automatically closes after 10 seconds
InfoWithTimeoutAsynchronous(1000, "Action successful!", MyProcedure_Info)

INTERNAL PROCEDURE MyProcedure_Info()
ToastDisplay("Close info")
END
