[REBOL] Input timeout

From: mario::cassani::icl::com at: 11-Jul-2001 13:58


Hi all,
  is there any way to "timeout" an 'input or an 'ask statement?
  Is there, in /view, any way to do it with GUI input fields?

  In other words, something like:

login: ask/delay "Enter your name or wait 10 seconds: " 5 "anonymous"

  If not possible isn't it a good idea to add this feature?

>> ? ask
USAGE:
    ASK question /hide /delay time default

DESCRIPTION:
     Ask the user for input.
     ASK is a function value.

ARGUMENTS:
     question -- Prompt to user (Type: series)

REFINEMENTS:
     /hide -- mask input with *
     /delay -- give a maximum timeout and a default "input"
         time -- (Type: number)
         default -- (Type: string)

    Best regards
