expire loop delay

[richjoh]

I need to expire a loop delay timer that has a long interval (roughly 5 minutes or more) so the user can stop the application using the UI and not have to wait 5 minutes for the timer to expire. Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time for your response.

I could use a "Halt" but this will not let the loop complete the final cycle and properly stop.

Place your code inside the loop in an event structure with a timeout of your desired loop delay. Now add a second event to break it. 🙂

Thanks,

That worked out just fine. I had totally forgotten about the event timer and thats why I asked of course.

Btw, I put a case structure in the event to "pause/run" my time-out case.

cheers,
