Hi there

I have a function I need to delay, so normally I would do

call SetTimeOut(MyFunction(), 100)

to delay it. However MyFunction returns a value that I need. I don't know how to trap it.....

Any help?

Thanks

MyFunction() is executed in global context. You can make out a variable in global scope to hold the return value.

Hi tsuji

Sorry.. for being dumb... Can you give an example based on what I have above?

I tried
dim MyValue
MyValue = SetTimeOut(MyFunction(), 100)

It doesn't do it...

I tried
call SetTimeOut("MyValue = MyFunction()", 100)

It doesn't do it either....

Thanks
