I'd like to use dojo dialong with a pause function, but the syslib.wait function is throwing an error.

My command is:

sysLib.wait(2);

And the error message is:
[CRRUI1083E] An error occurred while the click browser event was being handled.
NOIMPL

This is part of a button on_click event "stream".

Thanks,
Gregory

Using sleep is not recommended in a browser, since it will block the one and only thread and result in an unresponsive UI. You should be able to accomplish what you want using a Job and its 'schedule' function - http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rbdhelp/v8r5m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.egl.lr.doc/topics/regl_ui_richui_job_scheduler.html

Hi Gregory,

I've used the job scheduler before and I've not experienced the error you're receiving, the following code segments show how I've used this.


//First, declare the job scheduler part
refreshQuotes Job{ runFunction=getQuotes };

//Within my onConstruction function set the frequency (in milliseconds)
refreshQuotes.repeat( 60 * 1000 );

// My getQuotes function, with no parms
function getQuotes()
...
end

And that's pretty much it, every 60 seconds my getQuotes function is executed.

I've got a sample application that uses this technique on my website if you're still running into problems. You can download the project from the site.
