Here is some code derived from legacy code. The TIMEOUT clause does not cause a time out after the specified number of seconds. Is this a known bug?
local t, ln
for ln = 1 to 6
t = seconds()
msgbox( "hello", m.ln * 10 )
? m.ln, seconds()-t
next
FUNCTION MsgBox
PARAMETER m.tcMsg, tnTimeout
local lnChoice, lcMsg
lnChoice = 0
lcMsg = m.tcMsg + " (This message should disappear after " + ltrim( str( m.tnTimeout ) ) + " seconds of complete inactivity.)"
DEFINE WINDOW MsgBox AT 0,0 SIZE 10, 100 SYSTEM FLOAT SHADOW TITLE "msgbox"
ACTIVATE WINDOW MsgBox NOSHOW
@ 2, 2 say m.lcMsg
@ 10, 50 GET m.lnChoice FUNCTION '*H'
ACTIVATE WINDOW MsgBox
READ CYCLE MODAL TIMEOUT m.tnTimeout
RELEASE WINDOW MsgBox
RETURN
