    Making a function "sleep"

    Reply Contact
    Hello,

    I would like to make a function "sleep" to let an other process doing its job. WScript.Sleep looks nice, but it is not possible to use within Infopath.

    Is there an other solution ?

    Regards,

    You could try Thread.Sleep in managed code.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    Hello,

    I need to "pause" my script when I generate a PDF, so let say that I need 10 to 20 seconds before sending an email with my generated PDF.

    And I'm just using jscript...

    You can use the setTimeout() javascript method within a custom task pane. I don't know if you'll be able to get the setTimeout() method to work from within your form code, but I know I have done it in a task pane before.

    Hope this helps!
