WII. Command

Wait for Input Idle

 

 

Intention

 

Halts script execution until a specified Process is ready to process Input.

This Command can be seen as a dynamic Pause-Statement, unlike a fixed statement which waits always for a fixed time.

 

If this process is a console application or does not have a message queue, WaitForInputIdle returns immediately.

 

 

 

Syntax

 

WII.[P1][|P2]

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - time to pause (maximum) in seconds

 

P2 - (optional) Process-ID of the process to wait for.

 If omitted, actual window-process is taken.

 

Please note that some old programs do not support WII. and therefore may hang if WII. is used on them.
