A confuse problem about Application.Sleep?

[pierre]

Hi all:
I have some codes as below:
--It uses Windows Media Player to open a file that the name is 12-128k_wma.wma

File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\wmplayer.exe", "D:\\design-MM\\AUDIO\\source\\12\\wma\\12-128k_wma.wma", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

--Makes the application sleep for 343000 second
Application.Sleep (343000);

--Finds all open windows with the string "Windows Media Player" in the title and sends each of them a close message.

windows = Window.EnumerateTitles();

window_name = "Windows Media Player";

for handle, title in windows do

result = String.Find(title, window_name, 1, false);

if (result ~= -1) then
Window.Close(handle, CLOSEWND_TERMINATE);
end
end

At this time problem is appeared. If I uses upon codes, I must wait 343000 seconds to end, then I can use or open the application again. If I interrupt the application by manual during 34300 seconds, it has not responding. It must wait 343000 seconds to end that it can use again.

I wish When the application be opened by user, it can interrupt immediatly without waiting 343000 seconds to end. If I can't interrupt the application, it can go on working include 343000 seconds of waiting.

How can I do that it reach my demand? Who can teach me or give me an example? Thank you for advance!

About Application.Sleep command:
Can it other parameters or commands use together?
If it can do it, who has it examples for me?

That is what Application.Sleep does, it puts your AMS appliction to sleep and appears like it is non-responsive until it wakes up. If you want your application to remain responsive you can look at Page.StartTimer and start a timer for the duration, and when the timer expires it would then close your external window.

Sorry, TJ_Tigger.
I still can't know how to do it. Can you make a simple example for me, please? How to use the Page.StartTimer to reach my demand? Thank you for advance.

There is an example here on how to use the timer.
