DestroyDialog by time / mouse position

#1

hey there!

I’m trying to destroy a rollout after a little amount of time. The point is to display a messagebox-like window where you wouldn’t need to close it.

I tried with the timeStamp() function but this is not a good choice at all, because it litteraly freezes max.

try (destroyDialog test) catch ()

fn waitForIt =
(
local timeRef = (timeStamp()/1000) + 2

do
(
if timeRef > (timeStamp()/1000) do
destroyDialog test

) while 1

)
rollout test “” width:150 height:150
(
on test open do
waitForIt()

)
createDialog test

Then I thought of the mouse position: if the mouse position changed the rollout is destroyed. But there’s still a problem. I can have the position by using dotnet:

cursor = dotnetclass “System.Windows.Forms.Cursor”
p = cursor.Position

but no clue on how to check it multiple times in a rollout…
Do you have an idea?
Thank you

	)
	on message_time_escape_or_mouse_move open do

		kill_tm.active = on
	)

I wasn’t aware of the tick event! Thanks a lot, it works like a charm!
