HTA timeout option ?
Hey Guys,Just a quick question is there a way in a HTA to set a timeout period ? I'm creating a HTA which has a "machine name" text-input if the user enters some random name which WMI has no user-rights to say www.google.com then the hta waits for a long time, was hoping I could put in something that after 6 secs or so would just inform them to check there spelling.I'm writing this in vbscript btw.Cheers

You really can't do anything like that in an HTA.
You can set the timeout period on a WMI connection which would probably accomplish what you want.
VBScript and HTAs don't allow multiple thread and don't allow preemptive callbacks normally.

A secondary window will work to some degree. Inmany cases this is not what is needed. I uploaded a file (above) that shows various ways to accomplish :asychronous" like output.
The uploaded code shows how to do this to even the main window. The issue is using teh correct kind of control and properly refreshing the objects as you write to them. The demo code shows a number of ways to do this.

HTA timeout option ?
Hello and Welcome to ScriptingAnswers!
Sorry but this thread is almost one and one-half years old and has no mention of "asynch" that I can see.
What is it you are looking for?
The attachment that is missing above :
uploads/2491/HTASampler.zip
Not really async as mentioned but does show various methods of getting around issues with HTML windows.
Run HTA-Files.HTA and click on teh "ModelessDlg" button. Note how messges can be sent and received via callback between windows. This can be used to manage some processes.
