I am wondering, how the internals of adlibenable/adlibdisable work.

Is it an fire and forget mechanism or does adlib wait for the called function to return?

let me show what i mean:

AdlibEnable("CheckMessages", 300000)

function CheckMessages()

bla bla .... do a mailcheck routine

EndFunc

Every 5 mins the function will be triggered by Adlib.

question: if the function is triggered will adlib wait for the return before starting the 5 mins timer again? Or will Adlib fire the function (and forget) and start the timer right after the call??

From the help file:

"The adlib function should be kept simple as it is executed often and during this time the main script is paused"

The rest of the program will wait until it is finished until it continues, and the time will restart at that time.

Infinity is a floorless room without walls or ceiling.Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.
