Definition: | set_system_doevents(integer rid, object params) |
Description: | Declare a routine to be periodically invoked while a system_exec() is in progress. |
Comments: |
When used correctly this can prevent an application from becoming non-responsive while
waiting for some other application to finish.
Note this routine has no known equivalent on RDS Eu or OpenEuphoria. |
Example: |
include arwen.ew -- (for doEvents(0)) set_system_doevents(routine_id("doEvents"),{0}) ... exit_code = system_exec(cmd) |
