Send in time will do it. You can also get the message ID to cancel the pending message.
Example(not tested) Start up the timers(messages) in the main startup code: Send "testit to me in 1 minute Send "testitlong to me in 10 minutes Then use 2 handlers to receive the messages. On testit If some condition is true then do something Send "testit to me in 1 minutes End on testit On testitlong If some condition is true then do something Send "testitlong to me in 10 minutes End on testitlong Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Glen Bojsza Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 10:02 AM To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Running Processes in the background Hello, Are there any examples of how to run a process in the background in an application? I need to have two timer processes run when the user is using the application. The processes need to check for certain trigger values every - 1 minute - 10 minutes If the trigger value(s) exist then the application takes the user to a different part in the application. Everything I have read is that LC is not multithreaded but there is a way to generate these as loops that can check for these values? Any direction or examples are appreciated. regards, Glen _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
