ThreadWait (Function)

In french: ThreadAttend

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

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

Example

ThreadExecute("Thread1", threadNormal, ProcédureThread)
...
ThreadWait("Thread1", 300)

// Construit un thread
t is Thread(Proc, ("Premier paramètre", 2))
// Déclenche l'exécution du thread
ThreadExecute(t)
...
ThreadWait(t, 300)

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 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).
