Hello,
Is it possible to work on hypermesh when we are running a Tcl/Tk script?
I would like to use 'after 10000' command to halt the execution of the script for some time and I would like to work on hypermesh meanwhile.
Thank you.
Hi Harish,
If i'm not wrong, after 10000 will merely delay execution of next line. So what operation do you want to do in hypermesh?
IMHO, Hypermesh session can't run on multi-thread proc. So you can't do different tasks in parallel.
@ Altair's experts: correct me if I'm wrong?
Hi Livil Lyle, 'after 10000' I gave as an example. Actually, I would like the execution of the program to be halted by 30 minutes.
Basically, I'm trying to write a 'save as' reminder program, which saves the file every 30min in a specified format.
Hi Harish
To halt a runnning script, you can use tkwait
Ex:
proc ::p_RunningScript args {
#a very long time script
for {set i 0} {$i<1000000000} {incr i}
Do something...
if {!($i%1000)} update
if {$::halt} {
tkwait variable ::halt
}
#before running, indicate halt=0
set ::halt 0
::p_RunningScript
#to halt above script, set halt = 1
set ::halt 1
#then call your save as reminder
p_SaveAsReminder
#to continue the halt script:
/emoticons/default_wink.png' srcset='/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x' title=';)' width='20' />
