need help looping this

[gcue]

i have a script that prompts a user on a remote machine before taking a screenshot.

then i put in a sleep(5000)

after the pause i check to see if the screenshot was taken (if *.jpg exists)

if *.jpg doesnt exist i shoot back an error that a screenshot could not be taken.

problem is if the user doesnt respond in 5 seconds then i error out.

the reason i had this for 5 seconds is because i have a version of this application that doesn't prompt the user - but now with prompt im not sure how to handle this.

-thanks.

Try doing something like this:

Dim $MsgRes
$MsgRes = MsgBox(16+4, "Remote Screenshot", 'Unable to take a screenshot from ' & GUICtrlRead($asset) &@CRLF & ''&@CRLF & 'Probable KNOWN_ reasons:'&@CRLF & ''&@CRLF & '1. Asset is on CAD screen.'&@CRLF & '2. Bloomberg is the active window.' & @CRLF & 'Would You Like To Try Again?')
If $MsgRes = 6 Then Open()

This will prompt the person with a Yes/No MessageBox and record the answer to the message box in the variable $MsgRes If they click Yes $MsgRes will be set to 6 and that will recall the function.
