Alias calling #waitfor in a different window
|
What is the proper way to call an alias and have it issue a #waitfor in a different window? I can't seem to get the thread created by the #waitfor to be for the intended window. The thread is always created for the window the alias is sent from.
The Alias is in a global module in one package.
The window is in a different package.
I want to run the alias in window A, then have the script issue a #waitfor that will need a response from window b. |

I would have thought #execwin would do this, but I just tested it and it made the #waitfor in the window calling it, not the window being executed in. Wonder if that's a bug...

Might be easier to do this with a #TEMP trigger.

Could you explain exactly what you intend to do? #WAITFOR stops the _current_ thread. As such, it has to run in the whatever thread you want to pause. Do you want the thread in window A to stop running until something happens in window B? Or do you want to start some separate thread in window B which pauses for something to happen, while the script in window A continues?
