Disable the ALT key or run code even if ALT is pressed

Disable the ALT key or run code even if ALT is pressed

Disable the ALT key or run code even if ALT is pressed

(OP)
The program has a timeout feature, the problem is if a user selects the ALT key the menu Highlights and the timer code does not kick.

any thoughts?

RE: Disable the ALT key or run code even if ALT is pressed

Hi,

How do you make the timeout?

For instance, WAIT "" TIMEOUT <seconds> will finish by pressing the ALT key.

In a READ TIMEOUT <seconds> is expectable that you don't lose the access to the menu bar to, for example, gently quit 'cause you are bored of waiting!

David.
