WShell.Popup Timeout Bug?

[baltman]

Using VFP9 on XP Pro I do not get the expected behavior of a 1 second time out. I get an hourglass mouse cursor until I button click instead. This a VFP bug or is there something strange with my setup?

Thanks,
Brian

WShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
WShell.Popup("My Timeout isn't respected!", 1, "Title", 1)

In VB Script (save as *.vbs as dbl click) it is:

set WShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
WShell.Popup "My Timeout is respected!", 1, "Title", 1

Same OS, same result

Interesting. I've had this method in my course notes since 1999, so it must have worked at one time. But I'm now seeing the same behaviour that Brian reported, in VFP 7.0 to 9.0.

If anything's changed, it's more likely to be at the OS level than in VFP. After all, VFP is simply calling a method of a COM server.
