Trying the new features

Post by JBurger » Thu Nov 04, 2004 3:32 pm

I'm trying to play with the new features in 7.3 I can't get the ask timout to work. I'm I doing something wrong?


Let>ASK_TIMEOUT=10000
Ask>Script will start in 10 seconds.,AskResult
If>AskResult=YES,Go,NoGo

Label>Go
Message>Run!!!
Goto>Fin

Label>NoGo

Label>Fin



That should bring up a dialog box. Ask for input and timout in ten seconds, defaulting to yes. What I'm I missing? The above, when I run it never times out. Hitting the button manualy works fine.

Thanks

Confirmed, the same happens to me. The "Ask" dialog doesn't close in 10 seconds. Even setting it to a lower value (like 10 or 1) doesn't work.

Also confirmed, version 7.3.01.

Note that INPUT_TIMEOUT does work in same code replacing ASK function with Input function, and mofdifying as necessary.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
