in vbs script, SLEEP don't manage "ProcessMessages"

#1 in vbs script, SLEEP don't manage "ProcessMessages"

Posted by: candide | Date: 2019-01-10 21:08 | IP: IP Logged

using PSPad from a long time, i am looking at VBS to add a specific feature but i am stuck around SLEEP feature.
when a VBS script is running, PSPad is stuck and it is normal, but when i am using SLEEP 100 command in script, during this time, control is given to PSPAD and PSPAD should manage all events but it doesn't.
Also, when i try to run a VBS script opening a windows and waiting for an event in a loop with SLEEP 100, script is stuck because events are not managed... in fact SLEEP is just a temporization but don't integrate ProcessMessages in PSPad.

your feedback will be welcome, and thanks for this wonderful tool

script tested :
'option explicit
const module_name = "hta test" 'this name must be unique !!!
const module_desc = "test d'un hta" 'script description
const module_ver = "0.001" 'version
dim completed

sub main
msgbox inputboxml("Enter text:", "Multiline inputbox via HTA", "Enter your name : " & vbcrlf & "Enter your Age : " & vbcrlf &_
"Enter email id you want to send : " & vbcrlf & "Enter Subject : " & vbcrlf & "Enter Email Body : " )
end sub

function inputboxml(prompt, title, defval)
set window = createwindow()
completed = 0
defval = replace(replace(replace(defval, "&", "&amp;"), "<", "&lt;"), ">", "&gt;")
with window
with .document
.title = title
.body.style.background = "buttonface"
.body.style.fontfamily = "consolas, courier new"
