yesno question
|
Is there a way to force the yesno to timeout?
What I want to do is be presented with a box with 2 options, either A) end the box/clear/do nothing, or B) if nothing happens after say 10 seconds, the box executes a command on it's own then clears the box. |

Yes, but it is very tricky and I think the box will still be displayed after you expire the script that asked the question. You have to spawn 2 threads and have your main script wait on them. You have to place the yesno or pick in its own thread with its return information placed in a variable. The variable is emptied prior to executing the yesno or pick. The second thread runs a simple timer and kills the yesno/pick thread when the time runs out. Since the yesno/pick thread will cease to exist when the question is answered the main thread need only watch for the yesno thread to end and then can check the variable. If the variable is empty it does the default response. The commands you need to look at are #THREAD, #WAITTHREAD, #STOP, and #WAIT.
